Flower of FateTogenashi Togeari
The band Togenasitogeari that appears in the anime Girls Band Cry isn’t just a fictional group—it’s a real band, and they also voice the characters in the show.

This song, which is used as an insert track in episode 13, has a more intense tempo than a typical Canon, but if you listen closely, you’ll notice it follows the Canon progression.
