Starting from February 28 to March 18, special contents based on certain themes will be released consecutively. 

with Miracle
I wonder why I kept plastering the stickers I received here and there I wonder why I kept going towards the destination of those stickers I found

As the new season arrives Our two paths intersect

At that moment of our heart-pounding encounter It seems almost like a miracle The first note of a prelude that becomes a sparkling world

Tomorrow will be better than today As of our future will be better than tomorrow And each passing day We will love it even more

The express ticket for the best eternal journey Is now in our hands

with Brave
A sea of lava scorches the land, wicked dragons bellow out. Though the necromancer and great wizard are cornered, they bear fearless smiles. The power of two is not merely additive. Our resonance summons multiplication. Joining hands, joining forces, joining gazes, infinite courage springs forth. No matter what ordeals or hardships we may encounter, I can face them because you are here. With darkness as our guide, we'll wield our tomes, and dive into the abyss. For we are the ones who will lead the way down the blue rose path. Source: Band life, translation by @Aurora_Subs

with Effort
The sound of a ticking clock echoes in a quiet corridor. Somewhere, an uneasy girl stars intently at her script. Next to her, a girl that looks calm smiles as she sees it.

Your efforts will be rewarded. Definitely, someday if you work hard. You have come this far believing it. You are here because you know it.

Now on a blank canvas, paint your dream colorfully. Let's walk along in this light towards the faraway vista. Source: Band life, translation by @kacoret

with Smile
Somewhere far away from customer traffic, A completely deserted amusement park stands.

In such a faded park, Sounds of laughter can be heard.

Honey, jellyfishes, balls of roses. And also the band members.

The murals depicting what each of us likes, It's like a message written together.

I want everyone to be happy. I want you to smile. Source: Band life

with Usual
Today's sunset set upon earlier than expected. If you lean on the fence for too long, your back will start hurting a bit.

The smell of dinner was wafting from the neighborhood again. The melon bread I ate on the roof today tasted a bit sweeter than usual.

Now that I look back on them, they're all mostly ordinary memories. I'm sure by this time next year that we'll have made even more of them.

We'll spend a countless "same as always" moments under the scarlet sky. Source: Band life.

with Confidence
On the gold-tinged riverside Are two figures walking side-by-side. The prelude is already over But my singing still falters. Reverberate. Ablaze. Unravel. Shine. Go beyond the overlapping sounds. What I have finally grasped, Is it a gem or just a glass? I can't confirm it by myself, But I'm proud that I seized it. The night will fall before long, I'll spread my wings this time, for sure. Though small and unreliable, I'll certainly shine, Bright enough to illuminate our path. Source: Band life

with Rival
Always in front of the same station, our different sounds combine. Two singing voices blend together with the sound of a single guitar.

Passers-by stop their journeys during our unannounced showtimes. The memories of our once colorful past, it really feels like a time lapse. The day we parted without tears, without saying goodbye, entrusting that song to each other.

Now, guided by the stars, longed for the stars, we have chosen different paths. Even though our wishes from that day will never come true, we are still under the same sky. Source: Band life Translated by @kacoret.

with Friend
We came from the station, not looking in front of us, Only to finally marvel together on the count of three, At the afterglow of the sunset on the sea. From a mere passing fancy, we managed to come to such a place. As childhood friends, what could be simpler than matching each other's pace? Taking as many pictures as we could to remember and preserve this day. Ever-changing angles, ever-changing colors, ever-changing subjects of each photograph. And even then, it's still not enough, so we'll burn it into the film of our hearts. Within our infinite memories, yet another new landscape forms. Source: Band life Translated by @space_lh.

with Discovery
The last hour before the sun sets seems to be called a magic hour. When the sky and the world look like they've been dyed by a spell. And in such a fairy-tale like scenery, is a girl who can't fit in. The straightforward and radiant Mr. Sun shines down on her.

I've come to lift your spirits, I'll tell you the magical secret. Happy, Lucky, Smile, Yay! You'll find it, together with everyone. We need you, or it's meaningless otherwise. Source: Band life

with Exciting
Unstoppable fervor and cheers, turbulent breathing and shining light. Behind the riot-driven stage, they are laughing together, arm in arm. For them, concerts are where they can immerse themselves, body and soul. For the best performance is the best source of nourishment there is. But they aren't satisfied yet. Starving, unbearable starving. Hearing the call for an encore, the beasts exchange glances. Now then, what kind of performance shall we do next? Source: Band life

with Destiny
Different from the city, you can clearly see the stars in the sky here. Only the widely scattered streetlights illuminates the two of them. Covered in scars, unbecoming, not wanting to show their true selves. Accursed with helplessness, regretting themselves, Brought to their knees so many times over. And even then, this destiny is the one thing they wouldn't put behind. Bumping into each other, running around, and finally seizing the real thing. Once again, everything from here, in this new world, let's raise the curtain. Source: Band life

with Promise
Even now, the scenery of their beginning remains in their hearts. Even though they know they can't return to it, it's something they must not surrender. They have walked down a path of blue roses, have gone through so many choices to reach these heights. If they look ahead, the light and heat seem to engulf them. If they look to their sides, they see that the promise they made together is there. From here on, from now on, there will be even more of these moments. So now, let's play this song loudly, and fill it with even more pride and love than before. Source: Band life Translated by @Aurora_Subs.

with Joy
On that day after school, on the spare time before practice, One step out of the academy and the girls are free. In their usual seats at the usual café, ordering their favorites. First of all, let's take a photo, click. The cute result is as pleasing as can be. Take a bite and be satisfied again. However, Their gazes wander and they wonder how each other's order tastes. Their idle talk is blooming amidst the sweetness and bitterness. Resting their wings this way is also necessary for a butterfly to fly. Source: Band life

with Belief
Looking out on the stage from the side stage, Just a few meters behind, the girl changes into an idol. All it take is the perfect outfit and your pure-hearted self. Idols inspire to dream. Walk the walk, talk the talk, not just pretensions. Customize the overflowing light from within into the shape of dreams. Be as you are, cute and sparkling. Believe in the path you've taken. To shine brighter than anyone else, fasten on your samurai's helmet tight. Source: Band life

with Memories
A relaxing time in the courtyard, basking in the leaves filtered sunlight. Feeling full of happiness accompanied by newborn melodies. They wondered, what kind of impression does it give, what kind of phrases should be added. After taking off the earphones, their eyes met, an OK signaled with their fingers. Their bright smiles blossomed, as they exhaled in relief. The notes that previously welled up on them, they put it aside. A leisurely conversation prolonged while they fill themselves with sweet bread. Source: Band life Translated by @kacoret.

with Change
Before, it was constantly raining. It was so cold and unrelenting that even using an umbrella felt meaningless. The sounds around me were all drowned out and it was nearly impossible to see a path forwards. But after a while, it was like something gradually came into view. Cautiously, I lowered the umbrella I was holding. I looked up at the sky I hadn't seen in a long time, and it wasn't as dark as I expected. Instead, the light of a radiant sun was peeking through the gaps in the clouds. Source: Band life Translated by @Aurora_Subs.
