Alright!! (Superfly song)

"Alright!!" is a song by Japanese recording artist Superfly. It is her first single that was exclusively released digitally, rather than being a promotional single from one of her other singles or albums that was released through digital means.[1] The song itself, made popular and originally only known by its "Na-Nana" hook,[2] was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama BOSS.[3] A ringtone version of "Alright!!" was initially released on May 6, 2009,[3] and the full song was released to the iTunes Store and the Mora stores on June 3, 2009. "Alright!!" was subsequently released as the first track on the Box Emotions album three months later.[4]

gollark: Ugh, 🐝 networking, what is this even doing.
gollark: How efficient.
gollark: I mean, if you were feeling mean you could think of it as "webserver doing basically nothing whatsoever uses 25MB of RAM and does garbage collection every hour or so", but that would be mean and is thus impossible.
gollark: Surprisingly, SPUDNET only uses about 25MB of RAM.
gollark: Maybe if I just give `/bin/node` suid.
