Under the slogan "Cheer up the desire to try something new all over the world!", α+ strives to connect with their audience on a personal level.

青春のエフェクト is not just a song but a powerful anthem encapsulating the vibrant energy of youth. Written by 山崎寛子 and 岡田康平, and composed by 鶴﨑輝一, the track promises an uplifting melody paired with profound lyrical content.
