A vividly drawn portrayal of youthful struggle and growth, this moving RADWIMPS track strikes a chord.

Released in March 2011 and used that same year as the theme song for NHK’s soccer broadcasts, it skillfully deconstructs the word “gunjo” (ultramarine) to powerfully express the passion and determination of young people.

Many listeners will feel a tug at the heart as the lyrics weave together the complex emotions of youth—where dreams and reality intersect—with support for Japan’s national soccer team.

It’s a song that lifts your spirits, perfect for when you want to revisit friendship and youth, or when you’re gearing up for a new challenge.
