The boat race commercials featuring Shido Nakamura and Suzu Yamanouchi unfold like a serialized drama.

Rivalries and hints of romance are gradually coming into focus, making them increasingly unmissable.

In the “A Sport Where Everyone Thrives” installment, the exciting twist is that a young racer defeats a veteran.

SHISHAMO’s ‘Saikou Sokudo’ playing over it fires you up just like a drama’s theme song! The bullheaded lyrics—like “This is the path I chose, so don’t stop, charge straight ahead!”—add to the sense of drama.

It’s a pretty passionate track, so you’ll definitely want to share it with someone.

Highly recommended when you need a boost!

With: “From now on, I only want to meet people I truly connect with — through what’s inside.”

Her tender yet resolute vocals and the beautiful choral work make for a wonderful arrangement—be sure to listen closely.
