One-Way Ticket Music Video: Don’t Drop the Glass Slipper

If you’re into brisk, catchy girls’ rock, there are surely many bands out there who’d love to try performing songs by “Garasu no Kutsu wa Otosanai.” This track paints a warm yet bittersweet feeling born from the urge to see someone dear who’s moving away for school or work, and the reality that you can’t.

The key is how your band conveys that emotion.

In particular, keep the A section simple while making good use of space in the ensemble, and then connect it to a sense of sprinting momentum in the chorus.

Released in March 2025, the song was selected as a Power Play on AIR-G’ (FM Hokkaido) that same month.

It’s perfect for bands who want to deliver fresh, guitar-driven rock that captures listeners’ hearts at events like school festivals.

We recommend aiming for an ensemble that emphasizes dynamics while harnessing the original track’s driving feel!

Released in April 2025 as their fourth digital single, the piece features a simple ensemble; aim to play the careful arpeggios, the counter-melody guitar lines, and the driving 8-beat in a way that keeps the groove from feeling flat.

It’s a song we’d love to see bands take on at cultural and school festivals to share positive energy with the crowd.
