How I hear it is the bass drum provides continuity in the pulse and may help to portray the character Ayu is portraying in the song which sounds authoritative. The forward motion would be provided by process in pitch, which has a nice rising and falling contour.

To me, it sounds like stomping, it makes me think of someone marching. For me, this is not an image the song otherwise conjours so the constant pulse is jarring. Counting the time wouldn't be bad if the emphasis was on 2 and 4, or even on 1 and 3, instead of being on all four beats of the measure. even a different pitch or volume would do wonders for the song.
A pulse would make sense to me if this were a
dance song, but it's not.
Also, listen to most music, and you'll here emphasis on the off beats, it's become a standard since the blues music of the 20s and 30s
