A gem of a youth anthem, woven by setting the trajectory of dreams to sound.
Carried by the melody, a fierce will to overcome trials and setbacks strikes the heart.
The smooth melodic lines and the warm resonance born from delicate layers of sound are sure to move anyone.
Released by Macaroni Empitsu in April 2024, this piece was also selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “Oblivion Battery” and is included on the EP “Bokura no Namida Nara Sora ni Ume yo.” The lyrics, which align beautifully with the protagonist’s emotions in the anime, gently embrace the passion of young people who keep challenging their limits.
It’s a song you’ll especially want students immersed in club activities and anyone striving toward a goal to hear.

“Mix” by Marcy, a three-piece band from Fukuoka, is a track where solid, muscular rock meets breezy, poppy melodies and lyrics that gently resonate with the heart.
It races along at a brisk tempo, yet its mellow vocals and sweet, cute lyrics make it perfect even for those sluggish mornings.
Packed with down-to-earth, overflowing happiness—like reliving joyful moments spent with someone you love—it feels like the kind of song that, if you hum it on your way to school or work, will kickstart a happy day.
It’s okayMarushii
This is a motivational song featuring a fast-paced band sound and warm melodies.
It carries a message of encouragement for young people who, despite experiencing setbacks and hardships, strive to move forward.
Combined with its positive sound, it becomes a piece that truly resonates.
Released by Marcy in March 2023, the song was written specifically for Pocari Sweat’s web movie “Our Now,” and was later included on the album Candle.
As a song that gently pushes those with anxious feelings forward, it’s one to hear in spring, the season of new beginnings.
