Arashi’s “GUTS!” gives you energy with baseball-inspired choreography and lyrics that smash through gloomy feelings.

Released in 2014, the song was used as the theme for the drama “Even If You’re Weak You Can Win: Mr.

Aoshi and the Clumsy High School Baseball Team’s Ambition,” starring Arashi member Kazunari Ninomiya.

It’s the perfect track to cheer on not only yourself but also friends who are feeling down or trying hard at something.

The dance is simple enough for elementary school kids to imitate, so sending your support with the dance included is highly recommended! Let’s borrow the power of Arashi, beloved by many children, and do our best!

Pebbles of DreamsAkiyama Kiiro

This is “Yume no Kozui,” an insert song from the film Poupelle of Chimney Town, the screen adaptation of the picture book Poupelle of Chimney Town published in 2016 by Akihiro Nishino of the comedy duo King Kong.

The story follows a protagonist who is called a liar and left all alone by those around him, and who meets a friend similarly disliked by others, and together they set off on a journey.

The lyrics convey the strength of deciding to move forward without giving up on one’s dreams—like the protagonist—embodying the idea that “nothing starts unless you believe in yourself.” The world is stressful for children, too, but I hope they will believe in themselves and push toward the future they imagine.
