17 years old

The intro with a choking guitar in "17 Years Old" evokes the sound of My Bloody Valentine. This mid-tempo track features VELTPUNCH's signature vocals by Hidenori Naganuma and Aiko Nakajima. The lyrics, which blend strong love for music with a touch of cynicism, such as "I'll never hate your cheap rock" and "In reality, even heroes crave monetary rewards more than respect or empathy," are very much in line with Naganuma's style. The final, heartfelt shout of "Worst!" resonates with a similar energy to the iconic line ""I don't even need music" from their classic "Killer Smile." This track, which symbolizes VELTPUNCH's enduring connection with teenage hearts, is a powerful anthem that continues to earn respect from younger generations.
