This is a wonderful song that etches each fleeting moment of youth into the heart.

It gently portrays school grounds, after-school scenes, and the everyday moments we tend to overlook, while weaving in feelings for a cherished person, resulting in a tender composition.

It’s a striking song where wistfulness and passion blend together.

Created by Macaroni Enpitsu, it was released in January 2025 and chosen as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime “Ao no Hako.” The youthful lyrics, vividly expressing powerful feelings about love, resonate deeply.

Its emotional guitar sound is another highlight, gripping your heart.

I think it’s a song that empathizes with those struggling in love and gives them the courage to move forward.

Ryujin Sei, who excels in many fields including producing idol groups, created Trick Art as the ending theme for the anime Loving Yamada at Lv999! The track features a lively sound that blends jazz with pop.

Its lyrics comically portray a man who longs to get closer to the person he’s attracted to.
