Skilled and warmly respected by others… Surely there was someone among your club members whom you looked up to as a goal.

For someone like you, I recommend the four-piece rock band KANA-BOON’s songs.

Released in 2019 as their 13th single, it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Sarazanmai.

The lyrics portray continuing to think about someone important.

With its passionate techno sound and emotionally charged lyrics that give you courage, “FLASH” is the kind of track that makes you feel a surge of energy before club activities.

Released in 2016, it was chosen as the theme song for the film Chihayafuru.

The Japanese lyrics, which evoke a sense of traditional “wa,” blend perfectly with a heavily EDM-influenced arrangement, and the power of the chorus conjures up images of competitive club scenes.

Whether you’re cheering on teammates who are giving it their all or about to start your own match, this song will fire you up in all kinds of moments—perfect for anyone striving in their club activities!

For some reason, this groove is a sound I want to etch into a page of my youth! Memories of summer come flooding back all at once—it’s that kind of song.

Tomiko Van’s vocals pack a punch and really fire up the listener.

I bet there were people who felt her voice pushing them forward and gave their all in club activities! It’s the kind of summer anthem that fills you with energy and makes you want to take off running with your friends.

DiamondKobukuro

Kobukuro’s “Diamond” is the song that gives me the strength to strive toward my goal.

Released in 2013 as a double A-side single with “One Song From Two Hearts,” it was used that same year as the theme song for the TV program “Nettou Koshien,” as well as a cheer and theme song during high school baseball broadcasts.

Because of its tie-in with high school baseball, the lyrics are filled with imagery that evokes high school ballplayers.

It’s a rousing cheer song packed with the message: let’s support one another and work hard together toward a single goal!

The song that gets me fired up before an important match is RADWIMPS’ “Catharsist.” Released in 2018, it was used that same year as the theme song for soccer broadcasts on Fuji TV.

Its addictive, hip-hop-style melody really stands out.

The lyrics convey the message: to achieve goals—whether it’s the desire to win or the drive to keep aiming higher—fight with everything you’ve got right now.

It’s a must-listen for students who are determined to win.

[Alexandros]’s Buzz Off gives you power with its exhilarating, full-throttle melody.

The interlude version is included on the 2015 album ALXD, while the completed version appears on the 2016 album EXIST!.

The lyrics feel like they portray the raw emotions—conflicts and struggles—of the members of [Alexandros] as they pursue their band activities.

When things don’t go well, or even when you get results but can’t quite accept them, this song will clear away that frustration in a flash!

CHANGEFukuhara Miho

Her debut track showcases her overwhelming vocal prowess.

It’s soulful yet energizing from the core.

It’s the perfect recommended song to boost team unity and get pumped before a club match.

She herself is gutsy, and many people probably drew courage from watching her boldly take on challenges overseas and found the strength to keep going.

A truly powerful song!
