Get A Life～Again～twenty4-7

twenty4-7 / Get A Life～Again～

This song is by twenty4-7, a female duo based in Osaka known for the captivating interplay between MIKA’s rap and ME’s vocals.

Centered on themes of the meaning of life and the preciousness of living, the track gently tells us that it’s okay not only to act tough but also to acknowledge our vulnerability and lean on someone when we need to.

The powerful rap and embracing vocals intersect to create a sweeping ballad that gives listeners a push forward.

It was released as a single in February 2009.

This is a remade version produced as the theme song for the film “Yomei,” starring Yasuko Matsuyuki, and its warm message—aligned with the film’s worldview—resonated with many.

It’s a soul-stirring piece you’ll want to hear when you feel like you’re losing yourself or when you want to rely on someone but can’t quite be honest about it.
