⇒ Anime "Minamikamakura High School Girls Bicycle Club" to release character song CD!　Shinya Tanaka, Pusu, Ryu*, 164 and others participated in the song production!

Start Line / Hiromi Maishun (CV. Rena Ueda)

This is a pleasant pop tune with gorgeous electric piano and acoustic guitar reminiscent of a spring day when she first encountered a bicycle, and a beat that pulls you forward with a gusto reminiscent of the speed of a bicycle. The oriental-sounding synth strings remind one of the historical city of Kamakura, and the song is very "Minakama" indeed. Rena Ueda's singing voice is also somewhat upbeat and bouncy, which makes you smile as you listen to it. In particular, her euphoric voice in the chorus is a must-listen!

The lyrics and music were written by Lamaze P, who is also a popular vocaloid P. We give him a standing ovation for his brilliant work in making the song sound like a stand-alone pop song, while at the same time showing off the charm of the characters.

Blue Treasure／ Tomoe Akizuki (CV. Yuki Hirose)

This is a character song about Tomoe Akizuki, who meets Hiromi on the day of the school entrance ceremony and becomes a member of the cycling club together. The song is about Tomoe, who is a rather quiet and firm girl, and gives a sense of her straightforward and dignified beauty. Check out the lyrics, which seem to speak to Hiromi, who is standing right next to her, about how she felt when they first met and how she feels now that they are best friends riding side by side on their bicycles. The first part of the song is sung word for word, and the second part is sung by Yuki Hirose, who sings the chorus as if she is galloping along on a bicycle. The two songs seem to be in the same pairing as the characters: Hiromi's "Start Line," in which she runs through the song with full of innocence, and "Blue Treasure," in which she sings softly as if watching over her. This is a song filled with the charms of a character song, which not only tells the story of the song itself, but also the story of the character itself.

Natsuiro Bicycle / Natsumi Higa (CV. Natsumi Fujiwara)

The character song "Natsuiro Jitensha (Summer Color Bicycle)" features the boyish Natsumi from Okinawa. The song is both refreshing and powerful, with Natsumi Fujiwara's lively vocals. At the same time, the lyrics incorporate Okinawan dialect and episodes from the film, making this song a must for fans. In particular, the situation and feelings in episodes 6 and 7, when the members of the cycling club get into trouble at a criterium (night race) they participate in together for the first time, are incorporated in the lyrics before the big chorus, which will lift the listener's spirits as the song builds up. After listening to the song, you will definitely want to watch the anime again.

Absolutely! Wonder Snow / Fuyune Kamikura (CV. Natsumi Takamori)

Wonder Snow" is a pico-pop song! Wonder Snow" is a song that heavily features a psychedelic electro sound, which is a nice accent in "Kamakore" where the band sound is at the forefront. The lyrics are winter-inspired, but the song is a pop song that makes one imagine a bicycle riding fast in the cold, just like the inquisitive Fuyune. The cool electro sound and the high-tension melody of the song seem to express the uplifting feeling of riding a bicycle in the winter cold. The lyrics are also very typical of Fuyune, who is curious and unafraid to speak her mind, and Takamori's skill is fully demonstrated as she sings as if the characters were speaking the lyrics. The song is full of playful elements, such as the two-turn and three-turn development and the rain sound effects.

In addition to the above four character songs, "Kamakore" also includes the opening theme "Bicycle ni Hana wa Maiwu" by Natsumi Higa (CV. Natsumi Fujiwara) and Fuyune Kamikura (CV. Natsumi Takamori) and the ending theme "Nijiyume Road" by Hiromi Maiharu (CV. Rena Ueda) and Tomoe Akizuki (CV. Yuki Hirose). The album also includes a cover song. The theme song is different from the original song, and is sure to be a hit.
