friendNishino Kana

This is a song by Kana Nishino, an artist overwhelmingly supported by women, that resonates with listeners.

It is used in the commercial for Vitamin Carbonated MATCH.

The song overflows with the fun of spending campus life with friends.

God knowsThe Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

God knows… “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” [Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu] Kadokawa-licensed MAD [Bass Performance]
God knowsThe Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

This is a song performed by the band that appears in episode 12 of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which caused a huge boom when current college students were in elementary and middle school.

It’s still extremely popular among anime fans, and it’s a cute yet cool track that we’d love people who don’t know it to hear.

Recommended songs for college students: Japanese masterpieces and popular hits (111–120)

Tsubasaandāgurafu

I think it’s truly a song for college students.

It’s a very bittersweet song about moving to Tokyo to chase your dreams and, even so, singing about the feelings you have for your old friends.

Yet somehow, when you listen to it, it warms your heart.

Since it’s about both people pursuing their dreams, I think it’s a perfect fit for college students with a bright future ahead of them.

These are songs I recommend for male college students.

After seeing Kana Hanazawa’s live performance, I doubt anyone could avoid being captivated.

Her voice is super cute, the lyrics are cute, and the singer herself is cute—everything about it is adorable.

It’s a wonderful song.

I highly recommend both the artist and the track.
