It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “HOPE: Kitai Zero no Shinnyū Shain” (HOPE: A New Employee with Zero Expectations).
As the title suggests, the drama tells the story of a unreliable protagonist who grows, and this song is a perfect, positive message that matches its content.

JUN SKY WALKER(S) made their major debut in 1988, disbanded once, and then reunited in 2007.

Rather than indulging in nostalgia, the song carries the message that it’s precisely because we have a past that we’re able to move forward.
Some people may feel a little lonely when they look back on their youth after becoming adults, but I hope you’ll listen to this song and feel, “From here on out is youth, too.” Becoming an adult should open the door to new kinds of challenges you couldn’t take on before.

“Q” by Genin wa Jibun ni Aru, a seven-member dance group formed in 2018, is a cheer song that encourages new adults to keep moving forward despite their inner struggles.
The song is especially notable for its lyrics: sung with vocals processed digitally like a Vocaloid, it delivers a powerful message that pushes back against those around you who assume your goals are unattainable.
