[edit] Overview

"Ichirin no Hana" is HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR's 6th single. This single shot up the charts and remained number two throughout most of the week. It was their biggest hit since "OVER", and even surpassed that single in sales. It is a rock song, though some sections have rapping from Yūsuke. The a-side song "Ichirin no Hana" was used as the third opening theme for the anime Bleach.

Sample of the translated lyrics:

You're no one but yourself

Up to now, and from now on

Even if you turn everyone into your enemy,

When the time comes, I'll protect you with all I have

Don't lose, single flower^[1]
