Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Listening to youth-themed songs can stir your heart—making your chest feel tight or filling you with nostalgia.

I think many people love youth songs, not only those in the midst of their youth right now but also adults who once sprinted through their youthful days.

In this article, we’ll focus especially on tracks by rock bands among the youth songs and introduce a selection of recommended tunes all at once! We’ve chosen many songs with lyrics and melodies that truly hit home on the theme of youth, so please take your time and give them a careful listen.

A track brimming with a fresh, exhilarating sense of speed that captures the excitement and flutter of youth.

The lyrics convey a desire to find beautiful moments within limited time, and the resolve to move forward while facing memories of the past.

It’s a song that shines with the emotional expression characteristic of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oblivion Battery” starting in April 2024, this piece has earned high praise from anime fans as well.

It’s perfect for those ready to step into a new world or in the midst of their youth.

It also makes an ideal cheer song to energize a school festival!
