Mellow & rhythmic
This is a relaxing unfussy pop song in a smooth speed.
An ensemble of the base, drums and the acoustic guitar creates a comfortable rhythm, and the keyboard add an expression.
A multi-track natural chorus participate throughout the song and is making the sound richer.
Keiko Utsumi's beautiful vocal is well known, and it is understandable through this song.

Beautiful voice of the '90s
Keiko Utsumi debuted in 1990 with an album "La Sympathie". Since then, 15 singles, and 10 original, 1 best albums have been on sale until now.
(Wikipedia, Keiko Utsumi)
Her name is often mentioned when we talk about the girl's pop (music) movement of the early '90s. Some 30+ powerful female singer-songwriters debuted one after the other in just 3-4 years.
In fact, she was an important face in the crowd together with the members like, "Yumi Tanimura", "Izumi Katō" etc, etc.
What's unique about her is, that she stands out in the group on the quality of singing.
She has a beautiful voice and the skill of the vocal is excellent, so very much listenable.
One more remarkable thing is the quality of her song writing, particularly the lyrics.
The most of her song is singing a sentiment of young women, but her lyrics is so pure, innocent and straightforward, as if a teenager is writing.
Such unique characters of her songs have attracted the listeners, and allowed her to continue to sing for more than 28years until now.
