Elementary Days New | Shogakkou No Hibi

The Japanese rock band SHISHAMO, formed in 2010 while its members were still in high school, has created music that beautifully captures the energy and emotion of youth. While the specific track "Shogakkou no Hibi" might not be a direct song title in their discography, their entire body of work serves as a soundtrack to the feelings associated with those years.
