The song “Quintet,” from BLUE ENCOUNT’s 5th full album, “Alliance of Quintetto,” has been chosen as the 2025 theme song for “Guts Nighter,” a show that represents TOKAI RADIO (FM92.9MHz/AM1332kHz)!
“Quintet”, literally translated as “quintet”. The song is based on the presence of four band members and fans, and has a message that connects the team, “Guts Nighter”, “Dragons” fans, BLUE ENCOUNT, and TOKAI RADIO listeners all together.
TOKAI RADIO HomepageThe comments by Tanabe Shunichi (Vo/Gt) published in the article are as follows:
This song was created with the thought of someone you value and being a member of BLUE ENCOUNT, just like us, so I think it’s a song that connects the team and the fans. I think the fans who support us are also one of the team members, so let’s work together to liven up this season! We will do our best to liven up the atmosphere, so please look forward to it.
— Tanabe Shunichi (Vo/Gt)
