This track, included on SCANDAL’s album LUMINOUS released in March 2024, was chosen as the ending theme for the anime HIGHSPEED Étoile.

The lyrics were written by TOMOMI and the music composed by MAMI.

Its exhilarating, high-speed sound, which aligns with the near-future racing world of the series, lifts the listener’s spirits.

It also strongly resonates as an anthem cheering on everyone who keeps striving toward their goals.

Karu-Garu Everyday!!hanabie

This is a single released in July 2025 that was selected as the theme song for the TV anime “Raccoon Karukaru-dan.” The contrast between Yukina’s cute vocals and the heavy, weighty sound creates a powerful impact.

The development where fierce shouts intersect with a pop melody links perfectly with the anime’s comical worldview.

It’s perfect for times when you need a boost of energy or for mornings when you want to get pumped up.
