Hinamatsuri / Musunde Hiraite99rank/position

This is a Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) version of the classic hand-play song “Musunde Hiraite.” In this version, the part at the end where you place your hands on your head or knees is changed to gestures related to Hinamatsuri, such as the five court musicians.
Boys can do the five musicians, girls can do the three court ladies, and everyone can enjoy it as a Hinamatsuri-themed hand-play song.
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE100rank/position

Released in April 2024 as the opening theme for the anime “Oblivion Battery,” this song adopts the band’s roots in guitar rock, aiming to recreate the impulsive energy of their student-era cover band days.
The lyrics overlay the bittersweetness and pain of youth with the language of flowers, conveying the importance of loving yourself, scars and all.
After release, it surpassed 100 million total streams at the band’s fastest pace to date, and won the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards.
Its driving melody over a brisk, catchy sound is a major draw—and it’s guaranteed to be a hit at karaoke.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you’re struggling with your sense of self or need a push forward.
