Today, one month before the event, we have released the second promotional video, featuring 'Rashisa,' the theme song of 'Hyakuen.' by Official Hige Dandism!

Promotional Video

Resonance with an Anime Depicting the 'Reason to Compete'

This promotional video was produced in collaboration with the theatrical anime 'Hyakuen.,' which focuses on track and field, specifically the men's 100m race. The film's worldview, which portrays the inner struggles of athletes facing competition, and the reality of the Japan Championships, where athletes battle for the top spot in Japan, overlap to express the essence of competition through visuals.

Focus on Key Athletes

In this second installment, the focus is on prominent athletes, including those who have won (become number one) in the Japan Championships, where they compete for the top spot in Japan. It depicts the tension of battles on both the track and field, the concentration invested in a single moment, and the 'slight difference' that determines victory or defeat. It portrays their journey as they challenge themselves to reach the view that only the number one can see.

Theme Song 'Rashisa' for All Challengers

Official Hige Dandism's 'Rashisa,' the theme song of the theatrical anime 'Hyakuen.,' is used as the background music. This song is characterized by lyrics that offer encouragement to everyone facing conflicts and setbacks in competition, and it was born from the band members' deep impression of the original manga. Its worldview resonates with the athletes' figures, giving a strong message to the video.

Official Hige Dandism 'Rashisa' Lyrics (Release Date: August 6, 2025)

I'm proud of everything, all the elements that make me me I love everything, even the dark parts of me that are you My untalented self, my not-so-strong personality But also the resilience to clearly envision a grand dream

I'm always impatient, the crowd's footsteps tear apart my efforts How many times have I relied on the darkness that is you? I'm tired of seeing myself, who, despite wearing an eye mask forced on me, saying 'it's okay to be the only one,' doesn't sleep a wink.

'Realistically, objectively, it's hopeless. I probably can't be absolutely number one.' I know, I know it, but Overwhelmingly, intuitively, I can't accept it Ah, why have I been burdened with such troublesome and unsuitable strengths?

Embracing 'Rashisa' (my true self), we cried, we laughed, we competed Devoting everything to what we love, we cry again and again, we laugh At a crazy pace

No matter how many times I win, the future is still tough Ah, seriously, what is it? The more I lose, lose, and keep losing The memories slow down my steps, the worst gift from my past self and you

My calculating and passive side is a bandage protecting me, I'm probably too scared to peel it off I know, I know it, but My pride, still new and white, is swollen and itchy Ah, both are me and you, both are my true feelings, that's what makes it so difficult

'Because I started late,' 'Because the world is too vast,' 'Because geniuses are on a different level,' 'Anyway, it's fine if you're having fun.' Ah, shut up. Still, there were days when I lost to you somehow Well, that's right. A steadfast core or ideology isn't like me But now, I'm at my limit. I won't be at your beck and call I still don't want to lose to anyone. Please, don't let that passion Fade away!

Embracing 'Rashisa,' we cried, we laughed, we competed Devoting everything to what we love, we still cry, we still laugh On your marks, get set, go for it seriously

Embracing 'Rashisa,' joy and sorrow, anxiety and hope, despair and ecstasy It's all yours and mine Embracing 'Rashisa,' ah, we cry until our last breath, we laugh 'It was truly good.' Ah, it was good to be alive.
