Powerfully expressing courage through a melodic and guitar-driven rock number, the ambitious song "Sentiments" boldly conveys one's feelings to someone special. The words "I love you", directed at an important person one was destined to meet in life, are firmly etched into the spacious soundscape painted by the solid drum sounds and church-echoing guitars. While the subject could be a romantic partner, family member, or friend, the sentiment delivered to them is the same. The song makes a strong case for the importance of expressing your feelings without being constrained by gender or attributes. The lyrics also convey the nervousness and courage involved in sharing your feelings with someone dear, sure to evoke a strong sense of empathy in the listener. Riding on the melodic and guitar-driven track, Wataru's vocals push forward with a solemn reverb, resounding almost like a hymn. Within them are the overflowing emotions of wanting to directly tell the person you like how you feel.
