Chopper returned to the band, and it is said to have been created to celebrate his comeback.
My AnswerRyokushokushakai
This is the 10th single and title track by Ryokuoushoku Shakai, written as the theme song for the fifth season of the drama “Emergency Interrogation Room,” which begins airing in October 2025.
Delicately portraying a wavering heart, the song centers on the choices and conflicts that multiply as we grow into adulthood.
Gentle, embracing strings and synths tenderly support the emotions that struggle between ideals and reality.
Haruko Nagaya’s powerful yet expressive vocals make you believe that the answer you arrive at after wrestling with doubt is the strongest one.
Following the fourth season in 2021, this marks their second consecutive tie-in with the series; the coupling track “Samonakuba Dare ga Yaru” has been chosen as the theme song for the theatrical film, making this single a release that musically colors the entire franchise.
It’s a song that gives you a gentle push when you stand at a crossroads in life and find yourself uncertain about which path to choose.
Try My Luckdustbox
dustbox is a three-piece rock band known for their melodic songs.
This track is included on their third album, “13 Brilliant Leaves.” It’s a song that gives you a push when you lose your way in life, telling you to “Try My Luck!”
PRESENT (English ver.)Mrs. GREEN APPLE
A song with English lyrics released in April 2020.
It carries a warm message that intertwines “gift” and “the present,” resonating with a difficult time.
Written in everyday English expressions, the lyrics pivot on a double meaning: the moments you and I share are themselves a gift, channeling a positive intent that transforms isolation into solidarity.
Over a pop-rock sound shaped by clean-tone guitar and expansive piano, Motoki Omori’s soaring high-range vocals take the lead, with rich choral work bolstering the lift of the chorus.
Released as the first digital single of 2020 following the album Attitude, it was widely loved both in Japan and abroad after its release.
GO FOR ITGOING STEADY
GOING STEADY, the now-disbanded band that featured Kazunobu Mineta—who is active both as an actor and a musician.
Among their songs, which were explosively popular at the time, this is a particularly fiery anthem that strikes straight at the hearts of teens.
Mineta’s shouts set your heart ablaze.
HinataSUPER BEAVER
This is a powerful cheer song by SUPER BEAVER that lifts your spirits from the very first, high-energy intro! Its warm melody and exhilarating sound gently wrap around a weary heart.
Released in April 2017 as a digital-only single, it was also featured as a TV drama theme and in commercials.
The lyrics—“How could you not expect anything of yourself? How could you not believe in yourself?”—remind us of the importance of recognizing our own worth and trusting ourselves.
When you need courage to step into a new environment, or when you feel like you’re losing sight of who you are, give this song a listen.
It’s sure to spark the energy you need for tomorrow!
17 (until the day I die)BIGMAMA
It’s a coming-of-age number where fierce yet fleeting rock sounds intersect with razor-sharp guitars.
Featured on the album “Tokyo Emotional Gakuen,” released in October 2023, the track drew attention for its baseball-themed music video.
Many listeners will feel encouraged by the lyrics’ positive words and ambition: “I can’t end it like this,” and “The only thing I can change is my own actions.” When you want to strive toward a goal or change your current situation, listening to this song will surely give you the courage to keep going.
