YOASOBI “Gunjou” Official Music Video
ultramarineYOASOBI

A signature work by YOASOBI that vividly expresses young people’s passion and pursuit of dreams through striking lyrics.

Released in September 2020, the song gained broad recognition after being featured in Bourbon’s “Alfort Mini Chocolate” commercial.

In 2021, it was also selected as the theme song for Nippon TV’s “Dance ONE Project ’21,” adding flair to high school students’ dance performances.

Evoking the image of blue light, the piece impressively portrays the challenges of self-expression and creativity, making it perfect for school sports-day entrance marches and dance performances.

It’s a song that lets everyone share in the unique sense of unity of a sports festival and the courage to take the first step toward their dreams.

GREEN APPLE’s hugely popular song “Boku no Koto,” which captures everyday scenes and feelings, is a wonderful choice for a closing ceremony.

Listening to the lyrics and melody that begin gently and quietly may bring back memories of the emotions and experiences you had throughout the sports day.

Playing it during the awards presentation could make the moment even more exciting.

Rather than focusing on winning or losing, it’s a song that conveys a sense of accomplishment for everyone’s hard work and hope for the future.

Please give it a listen.
