This warm, gently drawn song about everyday life with friends is a single released by wacci in March 2020.

It was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Uchi Tama?! Have you seen my Tama?” and was written and composed by guitarist Keiji Muranaka.

The lyrics shine a light on the small, ordinary moments of each day and the unchanging routines, carefully weaving bonds with friends and brimming with a kindness that resonates in the heart.

The melody is lively and pleasant, striking a perfect balance with the slightly bittersweet lyrics to create a superb track.

It also works wonderfully as a theme song for school or cultural festivals—an uplifting, heartwarming anthem that colors a page of youth spent with friends.
