In 2024, she and MeguriMeguru performed Maisondes' song "Lock On", the opening theme of the third cour of the 2022 Urusei Yatsura series.[5] She performed "Palette" and "Yosumi", the opening themes for the 2024-2025 Ayaka Is in Love with Hiroko! drama.[6][7] Her EP Natsuyasumi was released on 28 August 2024.[2] She sang two commercial songs that year: Cup Noodles' "Laksa Tabete yo-hen", Maisondes' self-parody of "Show Me Your Phone";[8] and "Kawaii KM" for Canmake's Metallook Mascara brand.[9]
