WANIMA – Together (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This song, “Tomoni,” one of WANIMA’s signature tracks, is like an anthem that cheers on life and is loved by people of all ages—perfect for events like sports days, don’t you think? With its driving energy and positive vibe, it pushes forward despite difficulties, which I believe especially resonates with younger generations.

It would be an excellent BGM for heated events like sprints or relays.

At the same time, the melody is very refreshing, making it a song that fits any scene at a sports day.

VertigoMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION「Vertigo」

Set to a powerful rock sound, this thought‑provoking song sharply portrays the chaos of modern society and the human psyche.

Included on MAN WITH A MISSION’s EP “XV e.p.,” released in March 2025, the track was also chosen as the promotional song for the game “Mecha BREAK,” with the band sounding an alarm to society.

Addressing how we can be swept up in a whirlpool of information and lose our ability to make sound judgments, it underscores the importance of discerning the truth.

Performed on the nationwide “MAN WITH A ’15th’ MISSION PLAY WHAT U WANT TOUR 2025,” the song has expanded a circle of empathy through the unity felt at their live shows.

It also speaks to young people striving alongside their peers at school sports days and athletic festivals, urging the value of friendship and the importance of holding to one’s own convictions.

Song of a FriendBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Friend’s Song”

This song, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s “Tomodachi no Uta,” which was the theme song for the film Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops: The New Age, is—just as the title suggests—a friendship song.

Friendship songs are perfect when you want to boost team spirit at events like sports days! While many songs used at such events are high-energy tracks that really get the crowd going, this one, though gentle, lifts you up from the depths of your heart and raises morale, in my opinion.
