Our first Japanese original song "Forget Me Not" has been chosen as the opening theme song for the anime "RE-MAIN"!
"Move forward!" "Overcome yourself! Overcome yourself! The lyrics of "Forget Me Not" are based on the keywords "move forward!" and "conquer yourself!" and the song has a fast-paced electro guitar sound.
