My opinion is that this single is right in line with the best of Oda's pop songs.
His sense of melody is fantastic.
It is amazing that his voice remains the same over time..
it still "communicates" to me even though I don't understand one word he is saying!
He keeps talking about retiring from music...
I hope it never happens.
　Besides, you can't play golf all day every day...can you?????

Many years ago,Oda told me that when he looks up at the night sky,
he realizes we look at the same moon...just from opposite sides of the earth.
This "same moon" has become a favorite phrase of ours...
like on the closing of letters, etc.
While Oda was here working on his new single,
he started a "same moon"signing on the wall.
This turned into a beautiful drawing of the moon
in some clouds with stars poking through.
I love the picture. Thank you, Oda.
