A bit more convoluted as you might have thought, with the use of the several electronic instruments like a MIDI controller. She stands there on her own, but shows her capability to arrange the song while singing and playing her guitar. It is a good demonstration of how the song is more complex. It is a good quality to have the ability to do a solo performance but fill the stage as if you are a whole band.

The song feels light and warm and makes the urge to go outside much stronger to be greeted by the sun. SUNKISSed GIRL can be found on the first album of the young musician, titled MATOUSIC.
