This work, a cover of Mariya Takeuchi’s classic, overflows with fun and warmth.

It portrays how, through a party with friends, people forget their everyday worries and gain energy for tomorrow.

It’s included on a single set for release in February 2025 and has also been chosen as a TV program theme.

When it was first performed at the Nippon Budokan in November 2024, the Christmas party–themed staging reportedly brought the house down.

I think it’s the perfect song for when you want to enjoy a good time with friends or get a boost of energy.

Become a childMy Hair is Bad

This song candidly portrays the conflicts and honest feelings we experience while living as adults.

In their CD single “life,” released in December 2020, My Hair is Bad carefully expresses the gap between the selves we perform in everyday life and our true selves.

We want recognition from others yet struggle to depend on them; we fulfill our duties as adults while still wanting to remain childlike without lying to ourselves.

These inner sentiments are powerfully delivered through the band’s distinctive, dynamic rock sound.

This track is dedicated to everyone who feels the need to reexamine their social role and their true self.

It will help you recognize the feelings you’ve kept hidden deep inside throughout your life.
