2 on the Oricon weekly chart.

A song that carefully counts each event in a life, reexamining its joys and sorrows.

The lyrics weave in the disillusionment felt while trying to live decently as a human being, the difficulty of continuing to trust others, and the importance of having someone with whom you can share your burdens—and it’s impossible not to feel deep empathy.

This work was released in February 2017 and is included on the album “Message Bottle.” When you’re on the verge of losing sight of your purpose or feeling profound loneliness, its warm voice will gently stay by your side and soothe your heart.

To You

This is an amazarashi song that stands beside those burdened with pain so heavy it feels like their hearts might break, offering deep empathy and tenderness.

As a message to people who struggle with self-worth or feel on the verge of losing their reason to live, it became the title track of the album “Anta e,” released in November 2013.

Embracing the hearts of those who keep fighting desperately, it powerfully sings of the importance of forgiving yourself and the meaning of living true to who you are without fearing failure.

Rather than cheering someone on from the outside, this work is an anthem that begins with a dialogue with oneself.

When you grow weary of life, its melody and lyrics will be there to gently stay by your side.

Released to the world as a track on phatmans after school’s double A-side single “FR/DAY NIGHT” in July 2015, it is also included on the band’s second album, “Unchronicle.” When you’re struggling in life and feel stuck, this song will surely stay close to your heart.
