Ryokuoushoku Shakai Shares New Track “My Answer"
Tokyo, Japan – October 24, 2025 — Japanese pop band Ryokuō-shoku Shakai (also known as “Ryokushaka”), currently in the midst of an Asia tour, has released their latest track “My Answer” today on all major digital platforms.
The new song explores the delicate emotional struggle of making choices — and sometimes, being unable to make them. Through the song's honest lyrics and the transparent yet powerful vocals of Haruko Nagaya, “My Answer” captures the quiet determination that emerges when we confront life's crossroads.
“The older we get, the heavier our choices become.
We want to choose, but sometimes we can't.
We want to be chosen, yet fear it at the same time.
Even if the outcome is uncertain, I believe that what we reach after deep struggle is always a strong answer.”
— Ryokuō-shoku Shakai
With its introspective tone and deeply human message, “My Answer” stands as a song of resilience — a quiet anthem for those facing the uncertainties of adulthood.
