Sabasister – Talent Music Video, Morinaga Seika “In Jelly at School” Commercial Song

The Morinaga Seika “in Jelly” commercial tie-in song released in September 2025 is a cheer anthem for high school students dedicated to their club activities.

This track is an up-tempo tune that blends a sense of speed with freshness, and during the commercial shoot—where Sabishista actually visited high schools across Japan—it was powerful enough to move students to tears.

It captures the daily grind of persevering with hidden aspirations and the courage to take a step forward by believing in your own potential.

The lyrics convey an awakening to the talent that everyone possesses, and Nachi herself has said, “Everyone truly has it.” The song is a pre-release single from the album “Takaga Punk Rock!” coming out in October 2025.

It’s recommended as a song that stands by you in the days you strive toward club activities and goals, and as a track that gives you a push when you feel like giving up.
