I really like the bass line of this song
The accent is easy, but still cool~!!
the 2 guitars panning L & R and responding to each other at verse
and one guitar muted strumming! awesome one!!
especially the harmonies and automation
panning the background vocals around spices this song
and of cause the LV is great!! He really has a very unique, bright and recognizable voice

I kept listening to this song for more than 40 times today!!
and got stuck it this arrangement!! I better think of something myself to work on my arrangement!~~
