[For Your Commute] Songs That Get You Pumped – Perfect Tracks to Start the Day

Dear students!

I think many of you pump yourselves up by listening to your favorite music on your smartphone while commuting to school by train or bus.

We all have days when we feel a bit down, right?

I used to be the same.

This time, I’ve selected songs by popular artists and bands—mainly those favored by junior high, high school, and college students—that seem likely to boost your energy when you listen to them.

Since Japanese rock is popular, I’ll introduce a mix of both classic and new tracks!

If you find a song you like, try adding it to your playlist!
