足跡 Ashiato
Little Glee Monster
Just released in September 2020, this song is their 16th single. It was the assigned song for the junior high school division of The 88th NHK All-Japan School Choir Competition. Although the competition itself was cancelled due to COVID19, the lyrics written by the members echo in the heart of many.
