"キミのとなりで" is the 3rd track from OUTGROW, BoA's fourth Japanese album, released on February 15, 2006. It was written by Narumi Yamamoto, composed by Yoko Kuzuya and arranged by Ken Matsubara.
Yes, again, this is one more ballad that gets shafted today. I do prefer this one over many of the earlier cuts because it reminds me of a few K-Pop ballads I was drawn to back when I got into the subgenre. The string section's omnipresence helps a lot as it gives it more drama and dynamism than you would often expect from a song in that soundscape.

@Kaz D'Oerba (4,5) — "It’s a J-Pop ballad alright"
@nanapop99 (6) — "A cute lullaby-like ballad that drags on for a little bit too long. Beautiful strings though."
@M24 (6.5) — "Beautiful ballad, nothing groundbreaking but it's quite an enjoyable listen."
@evilsin (10) — "I always had a soft spot for this one. It's so gentle, so warm and so light. Almost perfect."

Time for the English album to lose a second song...
