While there are works that sing about anxiety about the future, there are also many songs that humorously and sometimes overlook the situation of the students, and the students are soft. I was able to get a glimpse of my heart. Unlike the last time when online lessons and distributed school attendance were described as extraordinary and special things, in the school life that started without knowing the true face of classmates wearing masks, masks The song that made me feel uncomfortable about not doing it, and the way I enjoyed myself as "I can enjoy it" were lightly written.Furthermore, as a feature of the works submitted this time, online communication has become established, and young people can flexibly adapt, such as "pushing activities" to connect with friends online not only in class but also in private life and support their favorite idols.
