As spring—the season of new beginnings—approaches, Non channels the energy of youth into her music and delivers it straight to your heart.
Like a gentle breeze, this encounter will blow in the courage you need to take a fresh step forward.
Born from a collaboration with Kei Higuchi, this work brims with a powerful message that captures the radiance of youth and breaks through the stifling feel of everyday life.
Since its release in January 2025, it has earned acclaim in live performances and become a fan favorite.
Following the album “PURSUE,” Non’s expressive power shines even brighter, marking a new stage in her evolution.
It’s a heartfelt cheer song I strongly recommend to anyone stepping into a new chapter of life or looking to take that first step toward tomorrow.

Song of DepartureMr.Children
As a beloved national rock band, Mr.Children deliver a heartfelt medium-tempo ballad that continues to resonate with many listeners.
It’s not only about the loneliness that comes with parting, but also a warm anthem of encouragement that sings about a sure step toward the future that begins from there.
You can’t help but be moved by the image of someone holding dear memories close and striving to overcome their anxiety.
Kazutoshi Sakurai’s gentle vocals carry that message in a way that softly nestles into the listener’s heart.
Released as a single in October 2007, the song was featured as the theme for the much-talked-about film Sky of Love (Koizora) and used in an NTT East Japan commercial.
It’s a track that will surely give you a gentle push at life’s crossroads, such as graduation or a new beginning.
