againstYamamoto Aya
A high-energy rock tune from Sayaka Yamamoto—affectionately known as Sayanee—who has delivered numerous message songs since going solo.
Written by Yamamoto herself as the theme for the Nissay Youth Support Project, this song offers gentle yet powerful lyrics that stay by your side during days of doubt, worry, and standstills.
When your practice doesn’t match your results, anyone can feel discouraged.
But throwing yourself into club activities or what you love also deepens the bonds with your teammates.
Rather than a triumphant anthem of clear-sky success, it’s a cheer song that gives you the courage to face challenges together with those companions.

Featured on the album Zankyo Reference, the track was released in October 2011 and skillfully fuses elements of metalcore and post-hardcore.
It was also chosen as the ending theme for the TV program “To the Top of the Earth: Futa Kuriki’s New Challenge,” captivating the hearts of many.
It’s a perfect choice for those who want to sing at cultural festivals, school festivals, or choir competitions.
Raise your voices together, and it will surely become an unforgettable memory.
TalentSabasusutā
The Morinaga Seika “in Jelly” commercial tie-in song released in September 2025 is a cheer anthem for high school students dedicated to their club activities.
This track is an up-tempo tune that blends a sense of speed with freshness, and during the commercial shoot—where Sabishista actually visited high schools across Japan—it was powerful enough to move students to tears.
It captures the daily grind of persevering with hidden aspirations and the courage to take a step forward by believing in your own potential.
The lyrics convey an awakening to the talent that everyone possesses, and Nachi herself has said, “Everyone truly has it.” The song is a pre-release single from the album “Takaga Punk Rock!” coming out in October 2025.
It’s recommended as a song that stands by you in the days you strive toward club activities and goals, and as a track that gives you a push when you feel like giving up.
