The gentle ballad “Boku no Koto” by the rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE.
Though they’re often associated with a strong rock image, this is a ballad rich with a softly supportive message.
It feels like a song that quietly reaches out a hand and pulls you out of anxious days; as you listen, it’s as if the view before you opens wider and wider.

Shineieiri reo
The second single, released in 2012.
Leo Ieiri’s uniquely persuasive vocals and energetic sound seem to wrap up your doubts and anxieties, giving you courage.
These are emotions only Leo Ieiri—who lived through an intense teenage era—can express.
In daily life, there are times when we feel overwhelmed by all kinds of emotions, but it’s precisely in those moments that we should hold on to what doesn’t change and keep walking in our own way.

It’s a song with a driving beat and lyrics that are down-to-earth and real.
No overthinking—just a big, straight-from-the-heart performance that’ll simply lift you up.
It’s a number we want everyone who’s giving it their all to hear—people at work, students at school, anyone striving hard.

Neighbors of the worldNogizaka 46
A song released in June 2020.
The music video, which featured not only current members but also graduated members, became a hot topic.
It’s a song dedicated to those fighting on the medical front lines and to days when the future feels uncertain.

[Healing] Songs that ease worries and anxieties and bring peace of mind. Comforting songs (21–30)
LetterSHE’S
A 2019 digital single by the piano rock band SHE’S.
It sings about the confusion and anxiety that come with growing up, and its nostalgic melody and vocals—Ryouma Inoue’s gentle, emotionally rich voice—really resonate.
It portrays a very human way of living, where you’d rather not fight, yet still keep going even as you hurt one another, and I think it’s a song that stays close to complex feelings.
You can also sense a kind of beauty in the passage of time.
It makes you suddenly wonder whether that precious person you spent time with back then is doing well now.
The acoustic version is deeply moving, too!
