lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE99rank/position
Delicately depicting the brilliance and bittersweetness of youth, this work by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE weaves a profound message into its gentle melody.
It reflects not only the radiant memories of student days but also the struggles of confronting real-world obstacles, embodying the strength of an uplifting anthem.
Selected as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime “Oblivion Battery” starting in April 2024, the song achieved remarkable success, winning the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards.
It’s recommended both as a track that energizes venues with its dynamic guitar-rock sound at school sports days and athletic festivals, and as a motivational song for taking a new step forward.
On Your SideSuperfly100rank/position
It’s an inspiring anthem that speaks to you with a soul-stirring voice, saying, “I’m always on your side.” As the 2015 support song for the Summer High School Baseball tournament, this Superfly track upheld the hearts of many.
Rather than just giving you a push from behind, it feels like someone sitting beside you in your loneliness and anxiety, shedding tears with you—a deep love that truly saves the heart.
It becomes a refuge when you want to support someone important, and when you want to feel supported yourself.
Brimming with tenderness and strength, it’s a song that fully justifies the story that Shiho Ochi was moved to tears during the recording.
