KanadeSukima Suichi
Sukima Switch’s “Kanade” is a classic song that represents the autumn season.
The image of summer ending and the cold wind beginning to blow is captured just as it is in the music.
After all, love songs suit autumn best.
It’s also a very popular ballad at karaoke.
Flower -Memento Mori-Mr.Children
This is Mr.
Children’s 11th single.
Although the intro and melody give it a dark tone, the lyrics in the chorus are encouraging.
Along with the sentiment embedded in the Latin subtitle, I think it’s a song that truly becomes uplifting only when you listen to it in full.
fightYUI
This is YUI’s 21st single.
It’s not a bright, up-tempo cheer song, but its gentle vocals and straightforward lyrics really hit home.
It was also chosen as a required piece for the 2012 NHK School Music Competition (N-Con), and I think when you’re feeling down, you’ll find lyrics and melodies you can truly relate to.
If I can laughUrufuruzu
This is Ulfuls’ 23rd single.
It was also featured in a commercial supporting students preparing for entrance exams, and it’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to when you stumble or fail at something.
The straightforward lyrics and powerful vocals characteristic of Ulfuls help soothe feelings of discouragement.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
It’s Sukima Switch’s fifth single and one of their signature songs.
If you look only at the lyrics of the A and B verses, I think they capture the feelings you have when you’re feeling down very well.
The bright, explosive chorus that blows away that gloom gives you courage.
