This is the signature song by the transplanted girl band ZONE, who went from dancing with instruments, through miming, to actually performing.

Its poignant lyrics, which yearn for a reunion ten years later, became very popular and have been covered many times.

In recent years, it’s well known as the ending theme of the popular anime “Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai” (We Still Don’t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day).

sympathy is a four-member girls’ band formed in 2011.

The members, who were classmates in their high school’s folk club in Kochi Prefecture, started the band together.

They used to play covers of groups like GO!GO!7188 and Chatmonchy.

The peggies, a girls’ trio who regrettably went on hiatus in 2022.

Many of you probably spent your youthful days alongside the music of these artists who blazed through the 2010s.

Their songs—backed by solid musicianship and taste, and infused with a modern sensibility that goes beyond the confines of a rock band—are all top-tier, and they gained popularity, even being chosen for tie-in songs with hit anime.

Today, I’d like to introduce Dramatic, included on their second major-label album, The GARDEN.

With its supple, danceable rhythm, stylish chord progressions, lyrics that lift your spirits, a melody that resonates in the heart, and a voice with a firm core—powerful yet cute—it’s a truly superb killer tune.

Perfect as BGM for a drive with someone you love—don’t miss it!
