Song of the WheelsBUMP OF CHICKEN

I think the way people go from their student years out into society can be likened to a train.
When you enter junior high, you experience club activities, the release of test results, and the influence of friends around you, and you start to envision your own path.
Everyone has their own route, and you wonder which ticket you should buy.
When you find yourself hesitating, I hope you’ll listen to Ms.
Fujiwara’s voice.

It’s a heartwarming song that portrays the youthful days of student life.
The lyrics gently speak to the importance of friendship and bonds, and Suisei Hoshimachi’s clear, translucent vocals further enhance its charm.

A bold collaboration between hololive and HoneyWorks, it has drawn a great deal of attention from fans.
It’s the kind of song that will warm your heart when you listen to it during graduation season or at the start of a new school term.
Perfect for anyone who wants to cherish the days spent with dear friends.
Be sure to give it a listen as a companion to creating wonderful memories that color a page of your youth.
In conclusion
A collection of emo songs that stand by the painful feelings of middle schoolers.
The vocals and melodies, resonating as if to envelop wounded hearts, carry a mysterious healing power.
