This song captivates with its weighty melody and strongly message-driven lyrics.

Its themes—love and personal responsibility—invite deep reflection, and many listeners will likely relate.

Released in June 2024 as Sakurazaka46’s ninth single, it features third-generation member Shizuki Yamashita as center, whose prominent selection in her second year has become a hot topic.

The music video is striking, visually expressing each member’s individuality and emotions.

It’s a track that gives you a gentle push when you want to reflect on your life.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel the importance of facing loneliness and their own emotions.

Murasaki Ima – Femme Fatale A (Lyric Video)

Brimming with Shikon-san’s distinctive charm, this song was released in April 2024 and also drew attention after gaining buzz on TikTok.

The lyrics depict someone who, having fallen in love, is unable to resist the other’s allure and loses their sense of self—something many listeners may relate to.

While the lyrical content portrays complex emotions, the track itself is extremely catchy and approachable.

Following “Class Journal,” the ending theme of the third season of the TV anime Blue Exorcist, this work looks poised to become her next signature song.
