Who will ring the bell?Keyakizaka46

This is the first single released exclusively for streaming by the idol group Keyakizaka46, who relaunched as Sakurazaka46 in 2020.

The song was used in Lawson’s smartphone lottery campaign, “LAWSON × Keyakizaka46 Smartphone Lottery Campaign starting Wed 7/29,” and it became the last track released under the Keyakizaka46 name.

With a powerful message delivered through poetry reading and an arrangement that pairs an intense sound with a strikingly low-register melody, it carries on the group’s debut-era hallmark of a cool, decidedly non-idol-like style in the best sense.

It’s a fitting final single for a group that stood out as especially distinctive even among the Sakamichi Series.

Keyakizaka46’s “Te o Tsunaide Kaerou ka,” which was tied in as the commercial song for “Robot no Oukoku,” is a pop tune included as a coupling track to their debut single “Silent Majority,” the release that shattered conventional idol norms, and it has long energized their live shows.

Centered on a student romance concept, it’s a classic packed with fresh, invigorating charm that sings about the importance of losing yourself without worrying about others’ eyes.

For some, this song was their youth; even now, listening to it can make you feel young again.

Among Keyakizaka46’s catalog, it stands out for its straightforward pop appeal, with playful choreography like the ‘circling the hand over a café latte’ move, and the fun little skits by the Yukkanen duo—Yuka Sugai and Akane Moriya—showcasing an innocent, heartwarming side.

It’s a song that vividly brings back a page of youth that everyone experiences—the farewell to a friend seen off on the station platform.

Sung by Keyakizaka46’s popular unit “Yui-chans,” this track was included on the single Glass wo Ware!, released in March 2018.

The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar delicately portray the distance between the city and one’s hometown, as well as a sense of loss for one’s dreams, as if a spring had suddenly unwound.

When you’re separated from your best friend and feel just a little lonely, this bittersweet yet warm melody may resonate in your heart.

It’s a work that softly stays by your side, as if to remind you that precious memories never fade, no matter how far apart you are.
