Although the tempo is relaxed and the mood is mellow, the strong beat feels satisfying.

Included on the 2011 album “ORDER MADE.” A five-member rock band formed on Tanabata in 2007.

Persona's MemoryAimyon
Aimyon’s hidden gem “The Memory of Persona.” Unlike the folk songs she’s known for, this piece leans more toward a rock-influenced melody.
Of course, it’s not full-on rock—the foundation is pop—so there aren’t any parts that are hard to sing.
There’s a brief high note in the chorus, but it’s within range even without falsetto, so those who aren’t confident in their vocal range should be able to sing it without issue.
The spoken-word section shortens the sung portion as well, which is a nice touch for people who aren’t comfortable with singing.
