The anime Mō Ippon! portrays girls devoted to judo, and its ending theme is Ipponmichi.

It’s performed by the Aoba West High School Judo Club from the anime, sung by the voice actors of each character.

The song is a pop tune that layers the judo term ippon with the path leading into the future.

Since it’s about the excitement of life after graduation, even those who haven’t seen the anime or don’t practice judo can relate.
