The classical-style interlude adds impact to the piece, resulting in a lively yet wistful and memorable number.

Highly recommended for those who want to enjoy thrilling, phrase-driven piano in a Vocaloid track.

A track by the Vocaloid producer Iyowa, whose name comes from having a “weak stomach.” Many listeners will probably find themselves instantly captivated by the intro’s unstable yet somehow cute melody.
The arrangement showcases the piano’s wide expressive range—an A section where low-register accompaniment brings out the melody, and a B section that asserts itself with striking high-register lines—leaving a lasting impression.
It’s a pop tune where you can savor the piano’s presence, never getting lost even within a sound that balances both a floating sensation and a sense of speed.

The balance between keyboard and digital sounds is very pleasing, and its catchy, refreshing melody has made it a staple BGM on various TikTok videos.
Another part of the song’s appeal lies in its lyrics, which capture the difficulty of living in modern society.
The antithesis of facing unpleasant things outside while being able to live honestly at home may be what gives the song its depth.
