A collection of songs you’ll want to listen to when retiring from your school club [Youth]

THANXWANIMA

WANIMA- THANX(OFFICIAL VIDEO)

WANIMA’s full-throttle, uplifting melodies are sure to support you no matter what! This song dates back to when WANIMA was still their former band, HANIWA, and it’s included on the album “Are You Coming?”.

Some teammates or clubmates are people you only see during club activities, right? Once you retire from the club, those relationships may fade.

Even so, the days you spent with them are irreplaceable, and the bonds you forged in the club won’t disappear.

This is a song that makes you want to keep doing your best, carrying those bonds with your teammates in your heart.

Because the sun will rise againRyokushokushakai

Ryokuoushoku Shakai 'Because the Sun Will Rise Again' Official Video / Ryokuoushoku Shakai – Hi wa Mata Noboru Kara

The song I want people retiring from their club activities—who are feeling both a sense of accomplishment and sudden emptiness—to listen to is “Hi wa Mata Noboru Kara” (“Because the Sun Will Rise Again”).

It was released in 2022 by the rock band Ryokuoushoku Shakai, known for delivering upbeat tracks that brighten listeners’ hearts.

Some of you may know it as the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden.

The blend of a driving band performance with a classically inspired melody is particularly striking.

Be sure to pay attention to the heartfelt lyrics, which give you the courage to move forward while embracing both joy and sorrow.

It’s a song that celebrates not just your results, but all the days you worked hard.

Macaroni Empitsu “PRAY.” Music Video

This is a song I especially want those who devoted their youth to club activities to hear.

It was created as the official theme song for the 95th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

Made as a cheer for high school baseball players, the song conveys the importance of overcoming setbacks and finding the courage to try again.

Included on the EP “wheel of life,” released in March 2023, this track gives courage to those retiring from their clubs as they head toward their next challenge.

Ren – Yurase (Music Video)

Rens song “Yurase,” released in 2022, is the kind of track that gives you courage, telling you that because you’ve already overcome so many challenges through your club activities, you can surely break through the ones that lie ahead.

You used to fight alongside your teammates, but once you retire and find yourself alone, it’s easy to suddenly feel overwhelmed by anxiety.

Even so, all the effort you poured into your club has undoubtedly given you the strength to overcome trials and hardships.

This song gives you a push, telling you to trust that strength and face everything that’s coming with everything you’ve got.

This is the fifth digital-download-only single by YOASOBI, a male–female duo that has carved out a unique presence in the J-pop scene as emblematic of the subscription era.

Inspired by the manga Blue Period, the song also drew attention for featuring members of the acoustic session collective Plusonica on chorus.

Its forward-looking message, which seems to affirm the path you’ve chosen, feels like a supportive push as you step away from club activities with a clear, satisfied heart.

The rich choral work celebrates all the effort you’ve put in, making it a refreshing number that leaves you feeling uplifted.
