This is a song by BUBBLEGUM, a band formed by three childhood friends from Ishigaki City in Okinawa Prefecture.

It was released in July 2006 as their major-label debut single.

The bittersweet feelings of longing for someone important are expressed through a pure, clear vocal.

The sentimental guitar rock sound also matches the message perfectly.

When you’re working hard away from your hometown or suddenly remember old friends, listening to it will surely wrap you in a warm feeling.

A dramatic piece where magnificent tones intertwine.

Released as a single in December 2007, it was also used as the opening theme for NHK’s “Studio Park Kara Konnichiwa.” Blending the elegance of classical music with the driving energy of pop, the sound seems to portray a delicate heart where anxiety and hope for the future intermingle.

The flower language of Ajuga stands for “strong bonds.” Through the music, you can feel a powerful resolve to move forward, holding close the irreplaceable ties with someone dear.

Carried by Ms.

Aoyama’s crystal-clear vocals, it captures the complex emotions of youth—an intermingling of hope and anxiety born from days that feel the same.

Bye-bye, farewell★thank youkonkonjanpu

This is a song that conjures up a scene of parting—ephemeral yet beautiful, like a sparkler at summer’s end.

The work marked Konkon Jump’s re-major debut in August 2007, was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Sasuke Mania,” and was later included on the album “Life★Is★Beautiful.” Many listeners will relate to the sadness of no longer being able to say “See you tomorrow,” and the warm wish for the other person’s future that remains nonetheless.

It’s a youth anthem that both reminds us of the importance of our memories and what we hold dear, and gives us the courage to step onto the next stage.
