A signature song by mol-74, woven from translucent vocals and delicate sound.

The resolve to stay true to oneself, even while struggling with the gap between ideals and reality, is striking.

It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who’s faced a parting with someone dear at the start of a new season.

A refreshing melody that evokes the feeling of spring and lyrics that capture the innocence of first love make a lasting impression! This is a duet song by Are-kun and Yuika.

Created solely through exchanges on social media, the track was born from a fateful encounter where they met in person for the first time at the recording session.

It vividly portrays the frustrating emotions of two people who have feelings for each other but can’t quite express them honestly.
