It has been determined that Ai Otsuka’s brand new song Dracaena will serve as the new ending theme for the children’s anime show Pikachin-Kit.
Dracaena has been described a mid-tempo ballad, with lyrics about the bonds and compassion that guide us through life. The song is named after a type of plant that consts of over 100 different types of trees and succulent shrubs.
Dracaena will air for the very first time on April 7th, from then on it will be available digitally in Japan for purchase or streaming.
Pikachin-Kit is a multimedia project that will include anime, managa, toys, YouTube videos, and even a variety program. The staff for the anime features many members who previously worked with Pokemon and Yo-Kai Watch.

We can listen to the song on spotify. It's pretty cute, and reminds me of Hibi 
For its first week, it has been streamed about 2,700 times which is not a lot, but let's see how it goes in the next few weeks:
#1: 2,710 times
#2: 5,148 times |

The full version of the song will be released on June 16 with a new cover:
I'm not sure why she didn't release the full version right from the start but oh well.  At least we finally get to hear the full song! |

So what do you guys think about it?
It reminds me a bit of "Ai". I think it's a bit repetitive but it's still cute.
She's making some radio appearances to promote the digital single.
Also, a MV was made.

| It might be a simple song, but I actually think it's one of her best offerings in a long time. It reminds me of her older ballads (kinda like something she would have released during the LOVE LETTER era) and the lyrics are very cute too. |

It has a very LOVE LETTER vibe indeed, but can't keep thinking the chorus is too repetitive.
"Itsu ka...Kimi ga..." It's like she repeats the same chorus twice, and ends up with a (almost) 6min-long song. Too long to me.. |
