As for the simple arrangement, I think you should listen to the careful orchestration in the background and how the drums (a sound that's a little different for Ai) coordinates with the piano in the background. And as for her voice being soft, I don't think so. I consider "soft" as when I can barely hear the voice over the background music, and Ai's voice is perfectly distinguishable in this song. Especially during the part where she sings, "Kokoro wa, hontou wa, tsuyoi." The crescendo there is really quite fine.
Not every ballad that Ai comes out with needs to be a "power ballad". Maybe if this were an A-side for a single, that kind of thing would be expected. But seeing as this is an album track, I think it's fine to have this kind of soft melody. From just listening to the lyrics, I think that a REALLY STRONG feel would kind of....wreck the emotion overflowing.

omg yes i agree with this all. i'm new to Ai but suprisingly i preffered her soft songs to her quirky ones. (even if there isn't many of them.)
i like this song because i can already see myself lying down half asleep on the sofa just listening to it.
5 stars. <3
