This is a track by King Gnu, written as the opening theme for the TV anime Ranking of Kings and released as a CD single in December 2021.

For those who feel lonely at night or anxious about the future, I recommend the lead track from the mini-album “season.” Released by Macaroni Enpitsu in 2019, it was chosen as the opening theme for episode 2 of TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “I Dreamed of That Girl.” It’s also included on the 2020 album “hope.” With lyrics themed around “unconditional love,” the song deeply resonates with university students who may feel isolated in new environments.

Its mid-tempo sound, featuring piano and synthesizer, conveys warmth and hope.

The affirming words sung by vocalist Hattori gently support everyone starting a new chapter in life.
