Written and composed by Yusei Okamoto, it carries a message of turning moments of getting lost in the dark and shedding tears into a driving force, and living powerfully through today.

The track is included on their major-label first full-length album, “SONG LIE,” released in July 2024, and was selected as the theme song for the 107th National High School Baseball Championship East/West Tokyo Tournaments.

It’s a perfect, hope-filled anthem that stirs the hearts not only of the players taking on the summer tournament, but of anyone striving earnestly toward something.
