The band’s fourth EP ‘for you’ is so named because it is dedicated to the Chilli Beans. fans who pick it up and listen to it. The EP includes five songs, with the ‘ONE PIECE’ ending theme song ‘Raise’ alongside ‘Raise - anime edit’, TV Tokyo anime ‘Play It Cool, Guys’ opening theme song ‘you n me’, and the fan-favorite songs ‘you said’ and ‘aaa’, which had both only ever been performed live until now.
