A song about the strength to survive adversity and the hope that carries us forward has arrived from Da-iCE.

Released as a digital single in April 2023, the track was chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Keiji to Kenji, Tokidoki Hanji.” The lyrics and composition were handled by Da-iCE vocalist Sota Hanamura.

This powerful mid-tempo ballad leaves a strong impression of resolve to overcome any hardship, like a single flower blooming undaunted through cracks in the asphalt.

The members’ vocals resonate warmly at times and powerfully at others, and the song was included on the album “SCENE” in May.

It’s a track that delivers strength and courage to those feeling anxious before the start of the school season and to everyone standing at a crossroads in life.

This is AKB48’s 35th single, released in February 2014, a song that gives you the courage to forge ahead without hesitation.

Featuring Yuko Oshima in her final center role, it also gained attention as the commercial song for the job search site “Baitoru.” With a powerful message to keep looking forward and not dwell on the past, it’s perfect for the school admission season.

Before taking on a new world, why not give it a listen?
