VIBES BY VIBES10-FEET
For those who are stepping into adulthood, feeling anxious yet determined to push forward, I recommend 10-FEET’s “VIBES BY VIBES.” Included on their 2005 album “4REST,” this song is a pep talk for anyone setting out to make it on their own.
As you become an adult, it gets harder to find time to meet old friends, and chances to casually vent or blow off steam become fewer.
At times like that, building the strength to stand up on your own is something adults need.
Tell yourself you’ve got this, stay calm, and believe that even if your days feel the same, steady effort will surely pay off.
This song instills exactly that feeling.

It’s a message song that says, “Keep walking firmly through life while holding on to a fresh mindset.” It’s a track by the music group Ketsumeishi—also known for hits like “Sakura”—released in 2000.
Because it feels as if it’s speaking directly to you, it really sinks into the heart.

It playfully tells those about to become adults that their prejudices about adulthood are just jokes.
Set to Dohatsuten’s signature upbeat, irresistibly catchy melody, the song sweeps away your worries about growing up.
By the end, you’ll definitely be waving your hands and singing along! It’s a must-listen for anyone feeling uneasy about turning 20 and becoming an adult.
