2020 Anniversary Song: Diamond Days ~そして未来へ~ IA & ONE 2020 Version
Finally, revealed towards the end of the livestream was the official IA and ONE 2020 anniversary song called Diamond Days ~そして未来へ~ IA & ONE 2020 Ver.!
Lyrics: TANGERINE.
Music: 西脇辰弥 / Tatsuya Nishiwaki
Arrangement: 小西駿 / Hayao Konishi
This is a cover and remix of the featured song in Lia’s very first collection album, and is not to be confused with IA’s third anniversary song of the same name.
While listening to the song, we’re treated to a montage of IA and ONE moments from years past, making for a lovely tribute to the ARIA sisters. This is truly a must-watch for any IA and ONE fan!
That concludes the new announcements for 2020, but there was still plenty of other content to enjoy from the livestream covering the past year of events! You can watch the archived livestream here where 1st Place even kindly provides English translations of the content being discussed in the live chat section!
Look forward to many more exciting development for IA and ONE throughout 2020!
