Released in August 2025 to mark Kocchi no Kento’s third debut anniversary, this work is a heartwarming anthem born from his own experience of repeatedly losing to himself.

Even if you can’t become your ideal self, the lyrics affirm that this, in fact, is your true self—an encouraging message that will likely resonate with many in today’s world where comparisons are hard to avoid.

The playful sound, highlighted by a jaunty three-three-seven whistle rhythm, adds extra charm.

Featuring powerful choral parts by the female cast, it’s a dramatic work that leaves a strong impact.
