Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Bridge of Gloryyuzu

Yuzu’s “Eikou no Kakehashi,” released in 2004 and used as the official theme song for the Athens Olympic broadcasts, is a piece you want to listen to when you’ve accomplished something.

From April, you’re standing at a new starting point, but I’m sure there was a lot of hardship on the way here—entrance exam studies, job hunting, and more.

As you listen to this song, remember those days, think of this place as one you finally grasped through great effort, and keep moving forward toward the next step.

Song of SpringUkasukaji

"Song of Spring" (Ukasuka-G ver.) MUSIC VIDEO short ver.

Song of SpringUkasukaji

This is “Haru no Uta” (“Spring Song”) by Ukasuka-G, the duo of Mr.

Children’s Sakurai and EAST END’s GAKU-MC, released in 2014.

It’s a song where themes like “encounters,” “farewells,” and “the future” intersect.

The laid-back tempo is very soothing, yet it carries a certain wistfulness.

Sakurai delivers beautiful words with care, while GAKU-MC’s rap weaves honest feelings in down-to-earth language.

The balance between the two is exquisite.

There are things you can’t do anything about, but Remioromen’s “Starting Over” really hits home with its straightforward lyrics that cheer you on to chase what you most want with everything you’ve got.

It was released in 2009 as the song for an Arinamin commercial.

Even without an overpowering personality, it stays with you and gently lifts your spirits—an admirable feat of songwriting!

As a song to accompany the start of a new chapter in life, I’d like to recommend a track by Sangatsu no Phantasia.

The lyrics woven by Mia beautifully depict the anxiety and hope that come with the arrival of spring, as well as the ways we face ourselves.

Released in February 2024, this piece was also chosen as the theme song for the anime “The World Gazed at Through the Viewfinder.” It delicately captures the wavering emotions of youth and is sure to gently encourage anyone stepping into a new environment.

Sangatsu no Phantasia’s songs have also been featured as theme music for TV dramas and anime, earning support from a wide range of listeners.

It’s a perfect song for those who want a fresh start in spring or wish to reflect on themselves.
