L’assemble is a girls’ rock band in their early 20s that delivers unadorned feelings through a straightforward rock sound.

This track, produced to commemorate their first anniversary, carries a warm yet powerful message from guitarist-vocalist Sora: “We won’t leave anyone behind.

Let’s take off together.” It’s an anthem that shines a light on listeners’ hearts.

Beginning with a delicate hint of anxiety, the lyrics evolve into a resolve to step into the future with friends—perfectly reflecting the band’s true-to-life identity.

Be mindful of dynamics across the whole band, and let your youthful energy explode.

A song that sharply captures the confusion and inner conflict of youth was included by Regal Lily on their October 2016 album “the Post.” Its lyrics, where setback and hope intersect, sing powerfully and straightforwardly of feelings toward someone who gave up on music with a half-hearted resolve.

Blending alternative rock sonics with a clear, translucent vocal, the track was also chosen in 2019 as the tie-in song for the stage production “365 Days, 36.5°C,” gaining further attention.

Conveying a passion for music and a sincere attitude, this song will gently yet firmly encourage those who feel uncertain about their dreams and goals.
