the 10 o’clock directionsumika99rank/position
Sumika’s refreshing yet powerful songs, which blend pop and rock, are always close to our hearts.
Featured on the album “Chime,” released in March 2019, this track is a supportive anthem filled with both the anxiety and hope that come with taking a new step forward.
With lyrics that stress the importance of moving in the direction you believe in—even if it’s at an angle or along a curve—and a dynamic melody highlighted by striking strings, it gently embraces those pivotal moments in life that everyone experiences.
It carefully portrays the feelings of a young person who, despite fears about becoming independent, strives to follow the path they believe in, and it’s sure to give a quiet push to anyone standing at the new starting line of school enrollment.

It’s one of BLUE ENCOUNT’s signature songs and served as an opening theme for the anime Gintama.
Especially popular among young people, its fast-paced rock sound cheers you on with the message: “Live today in your own way.” It’s a recommended entrance song for new students who may be feeling anxious or restless.
