PERSONZ’s “We Won’t Say Sayonara,” which was also used as an anime theme song.

Its nostalgic melody brings back memories we left somewhere along the way, and I can’t help but think of the friends I spent those days with.

This is a must-listen track that makes you feel the power of friendship—perfect for times when things are tough or you feel like giving up.
