In the same year, the U.S. indie label Topshelf Records releases the band's latest album "Let's Promise to be Happy" in vinyl and cassette formats worldwide.

The band recently released their 4th EP "Guide and Devote e.p" featuring the ending theme song of TV anime "Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside Season 2".
