premonitionSUPER BEAVER
A song that cheers on the hopeful beginning of a new university life.
With lyrics carrying the message “It’s okay to be yourself,” it gently gives a push to freshmen diving into a new environment.
Released in November 2018, the track was also used as the theme song for the TV drama “We Are Made of Miracles,” resonating with many listeners.
Paired with SUPER BEAVER’s powerful sound, it’s recommended for anyone who wants to start a new chapter while cherishing their individuality.
Embrace your university life full of new encounters and discoveries—and enjoy it to the fullest with this song in your heart!
When spring comesmiwa
Miwa’s fifth single, “Haruga Nattara,” is themed around spring.
If you’ve already completed your university enrollment, it’s probably spring by now, but this song is about the season just a little before that.
I bet there’s a face you’ll nostalgically remember when you listen to it—maybe someone you like, maybe a friend… The person who comes to mind will differ for everyone, but even if it was just a short while ago, it’s bound to feel deeply nostalgic.
May this song help you find the feeling of being able to try a little harder, thinking of that person.
Song of BeginningsGReeeeN
GReeeeN’s “Hajimari no Uta,” a song I want to dedicate to all new university students taking a big step forward with the arrival of spring.
Since its 2016 release, this track has continued to resonate deeply with listeners’ hearts, overflowing with messages that warmly support those embarking on a new start.
It gives you the courage to keep moving and keep chasing your dreams no matter what.
In this season when anxiety and anticipation intersect in our hearts, this song will be an encouragement and give you the courage to move forward.
If I Could Become a StarMr.Children
When it comes to going to college, many people leave their hometowns to attend a university far away, don’t they? For those people, I recommend Mr.Children’s “Hoshi ni Naretara” (“If I Could Become a Star”).
Included on their 1992 album Kind of Love, it captures the vibrant energy of youth taking a step toward their dreams.
The lyrics—about leaving this town to chase a dream, hoping that one day the challenge will bear fruit and they’ll become a star—are something many can relate to.

The vocalist’s gentle voice wraps up the mix of hope and anxiety that comes with a new life and leads you toward hope.
It’s a song that gives a gentle push on your back as you begin a new chapter.

It’s a very grand and beautiful piece.
At entrance ceremonies, you meet many new friends and teachers.
In such moments, those who feel uneasy about new relationships will find it reassuring if they have a mutually loving partner.
