A single track where a lively rhythm coexists with a grand sense of scale.
It unfolds a profound worldview themed around the boundary between endings and beginnings, and the things that are passed down as they change form.
Released in January 2026, this song was chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
It’s also an important number that marks a new chapter for Mrs.

Current destructionNEW!SPYAIR
A high-octane rock track with an irresistible, hard-hitting band sound and a driving, forward-leaning beat.
It portrays the urge to break through a stifling reality and push ahead, along with a sense of impatience toward oneself, conveying a powerful determination to pry open the future.
Released as a single in July 2013, it was written as the theme song for the film Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya, which premiered the same month.

You don’t have to put on a brave face until dawn.Nogizaka 46
Isn’t it natural for anyone to lose confidence when they’re weighed down by anxiety—by failures, setbacks, and regrets? This is a dramatic, ballad-style anthem that I want to recommend to every woman striving to make it in today’s world; it really hits home in moments like those.
Delivered in their straightforward choral style, the vocals highlight the stripped-down, unadorned lyrics, making the message stand out with striking clarity.
Shape of LoveMISIA feat.HIDE(GReeeeN)
Rather than a crowd-pleaser, this is a song you’ll want to get excited about with someone you love.
It’s a heartfelt love ballad sung with passion.
If you perform it in front of your boyfriend or the person you like, you’ll both be in tears for sure.
It doesn’t matter if you think, “I’m not a good singer.” If your feelings and heart come through, it becomes a beautiful song.
If there’s someone you like, be brave and try singing it to them.
So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster
Karaoke is all about having a lively time with friends, right? I recommend the song “Dakara, Hitori Janai” by Little Glee Monster.
It’s a lot of fun because you can split the parts and sing with your friends! For the chorus, you can sing in unison or add harmonies—either way, use this song to feel that sense of unity with your friends!
