No matter what people say or how things don’t go your way, the song’s message of never stopping your forward progress gives you the courage to believe in your dreams.

When it’s tough to keep pushing on your own, I recommend “Stand by Me” by the peggies! Released in 2019, this song was written as the ending theme for the anime Sarazanmai.
Even in individual sports, as long as you’re part of a club, you’re not alone—it’s as if everyone in the club is fighting alongside you.
This track makes you feel that it’s okay not to shoulder everything by yourself, to open up about your struggles sometimes, and to keep going while encouraging one another.

Its message—live every moment of your youth so you won’t have regrets, because once it’s gone, it won’t come back—will resonate with those pouring everything into their club activities as well as those who cherish time with friends.
It’s a sentimental rock tune that students, and really anyone who’s lived through their youth, can’t help but relate to.

An uplifting coming-of-age anthem that depicts the journey from boyhood to adulthood along the winding road of life, set to a sweeping melody.
The track brings out Novelbright’s appeal to the fullest, portraying the anxieties and inner conflicts of everyday life, as well as the strength to overcome them.
Yudai Takenaka’s expansive vocals and the invigorating sound unique to a rock band resonate deeply.

It’s the perfect song for those moments when you strive to achieve something together with friends, like in club activities, cultural festivals, or school festivals.
Listen feat.Avril LavigneONE OK ROCK
It’s said that the lyrics were sung by vocalist TAKA as a stern yet compassionate message to a friend.
