Soldier, run.B’z
B’z’s “Tsuwamono, Hashiru” is a song whose powerful vocals and driving melody push you forward.
Included on their 2019 album “NEW LOVE,” the track was chosen as a support song for Japan’s national rugby team.
Sung from the perspective of a supporter, it delivers a strong message: you’ve still got more in you, so don’t stop here! When practice feels grueling or you’re discouraged by poor results in a match, it snaps you back with a firm “You can still do it! Keep going!” and fires you up.
Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE is a three-piece rock band that has won overwhelming support from younger generations with their androgynous high-tone vocals and hook-laden rock sound.
Their seventh digital-only single, “Que Sera Sera,” written as the theme song for the TV drama “Even Just on Sunday Night…,” has a title derived from Spanish meaning “what will be, will be,” which gives it a positive vibe.
If you’ve been putting in the effort, the message of “now let’s enjoy it” is likely to lift the spirits of students pouring their youth into club activities.
It’s a gem of a pop tune whose dazzling ensemble will boost your energy.
Live in the present.Saucy Dog
There are times when you might wish to go back to the past or feel anxious about the future.
In those moments, I recommend listening to Live in the Present.
It’s a song Saucy Dog wrote specifically as the support anthem for the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.
It sings about three timelines—the past, the present, and the future—and reminds us that the only thing we can do is give our best right now.
With its sense of speed and drive, it’s perfect for pumping yourself up before practice or whenever you want to raise your energy.

Kokoroeroodo obu mejyaa
Isn’t this a song that baseball players, in particular, are very familiar with? It’s a track by Road of Major that was used as the opening theme for the baseball-themed anime Major: 1st Season.
Students in school clubs experience all kinds of things over the course of a year—advancing to tournaments, grueling practices, seniors retiring, mentoring juniors, and more.
This song encourages you to keep pushing until you achieve the results you envision, while bringing back memories of those club days.
It’s recommended not only for baseball teams but for anyone in any club who wants to fire themselves up with a “All right!”
room for growthCreepy Nuts
When you feel like giving up or find yourself settling for “good enough,” Creepy Nuts’ ‘Nobishiro’ makes you believe you’ve still got more in you.
It’s included on their 2021 album ‘Case.’ The longer you stick with the same club or activity, the more you can do—not only that, it also becomes easier to find a compromise point and think, “This is fine.” But instead of drawing that line yourself, this song tells you, even once you’ve gotten pretty good, “You’ve still got room to grow.” When you’re stuck or feel like you’ve been slacking lately, why not use this song as a chance to face yourself again?
STAND-ALONEAimer
Aimer’s “STAND-ALONE,” which also served as the theme song for the much-talked-about mystery drama “Your Turn to Kill.” Above all, her charm lies in that husky, boyish voice and a singing style that speaks directly to the listener.
Once you hear it, it has an addictive quality that makes you a captive.
It’s the kind of song you want to listen to alone with headphones on, endlessly.
Highly recommended for anyone searching within themselves for the courage to take a step forward.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
When it comes to this Yuzu song, it definitely brings to mind the great sporting festival—the Olympics and Paralympics! It was used as the theme song for NHK’s broadcast of the Athens Olympics, and it’s the track that gave birth to a famous line from the live gymnastics commentary.
Olympic athletes, just like you who are giving your all in your club activities now, go through grueling practices and sometimes shed tears along with their sweat, building up immense effort day after day.
This is a song that makes you want to seize that brilliant view waiting beyond those many days—together with yourself and your teammates.
