No tears here

The opening theme for the TV anime Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart.

After years on a major label, Minori Chihara chose to go independent in order to pursue her own vision as an artist. She made a full return to music in 2025 with the release of "Message." What really pushed her toward that return, though, was this very tie-in: being asked to sing the theme song is what made her decide to commit to music again.

The anime is making a return of its own, back with a new series ten years after its first season aired in 2016. By coincidence, the show and the artist are each marking a "restart" at the same time.

The lyrics are by Aki Hata, with music and arrangement by Q-MHz, and Chihara herself took part in the production. It is a heavy rock track that charges ahead on loud guitars and sheer speed, yet the mood keeps shifting, with flashes of melancholy breaking through.
