Surges (feat. Natsuse & Luan)NEW!Orangestar
The 2020 Inter-High School Championships, which were canceled due to COVID-19.
This commercial depicts the disappointment of student athletes who had been training for the tournament, and the growing determination they felt as they continued their efforts toward the first Inter-High in two years, to be held in 2021.
The song that plays alongside these intensely youthful, passionate visuals is Orangestar’s “Surges (feat.
Natsuse & Ruan).” Written specifically for this commercial, its lyrics—portraying the drive to keep moving toward a goal no matter the adversity—are truly moving.
With the title “Surges,” meaning “to surge/press in,” the track conveys the unstoppable passion of these student athletes regardless of what happens.

Playing alongside footage of these students pouring everything into the moment is “Moment,” written by Leina specifically for this commercial.
The lyrics depict dedicating oneself wholeheartedly to this very instant, and listening to it fills you with courage and motivation!
