This is Kaze ni Kienaide ( 風にきえないで, "Don't Vanish in the Wind"). I really like this song, and the video for it, a lot. It makes me feel nostalgic for the 90's. Even though I didn't know L'Arc back then, the video is a very 90's style, and particularly evocative for me. It reminds me of stuff like Lisa Loeb, Singles, The Lemonheads, The Cure, and of course the video for Losing My Religion......by my favorite band, R.E.M. I think any video with a small room and a window in the back would remind me of that. Of course, this is a much more colorful room. The song definitely has that clean alt-rock sound that I've always gravitated to.
It's not a super heavy drum song, but I thought it would be a nice fun warmup song for any skill level. I thought making it would go by really quickly, but it didn't. It still took 3 days. Note to self: Stop living in denial. You will never finish making a DTX in one day.
I do find it amusing that Sakura still manages to throw some double bass into a light alt-rock song like this. For that reason, I've included both double bass and single bass drum versions....and for the first time in forever, I've done a medium diffculty version (and a 2BD and 1BD ver for them as well).

Also, am I crazy, or is Hyde singing into a rock with a cord attached?
He appears to be listening to it here. Singing into a rock.....it doesn't get any more rock than that.
Comment, or I may have to hit you with Hyde's rock.
