I think that about sums up what I have to say about this single. The tunes reminds me of what the working class would pop into their player when they unwind after work. Light on the ears but a little too normal, I felt. Lacks an extra something. I think I first heard Yasashisa ni Tsutsumaretanara on Ghibli's Kiki's Delivery Service. It's not bad but when you are used to the that deep vocals, Maaya's rendition takes a little getting used to. At the time I'm writing this, she has an up-coming 7th album - and Yoko Kanno is on the line-up of artists involved in the new album. You might just want to skip this and go straight for the album instead.
