As the group began to gain more media exposure, 2020 became a breakthrough year for them.

Among the releases that year was “Seishun to Isshun,” featured in the 500-yen Value Set commercial “Konna Jikan ga, Gochisou da Natsu.” Hattori’s refreshing vocals and the band’s own musical answer to youth deliver a message to young people living out their seishun.

The visuals and lyrics link together, conjuring images of students happily enjoying a McDonald’s set menu, which may evoke nostalgia for many who are already working adults.

It’s a song we especially want young people who are living in the moment to hear.
