About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
When creating a school cultural festival, cooperation with your friends is essential, and sometimes clashes will occur because of differing viewpoints.
This song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE evokes the image of acknowledging those differences while moving toward a wonderful day.
It’s striking how it develops from lines that feel like speaking to oneself into a chorus overflowing with emotion, conveying a grand image as if one’s field of vision has expanded.
It’s a moving piece that seems to tell us that both happiness and hardship—every experience we’ve had—are precious.
The First Steprakkuraifu
This is “Hajime no Ippo,” a 2017 song by Luck Life, a four-member rock band that began activities in 2008.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Cheer Boys!!.
The music video is inspired by Luck Life’s school days, depicting four boys forming a band to perform at their school festival and enjoying their student life with friends.
It’s also a cheer song for those taking on new challenges.
We especially recommend it to anyone preparing for a school or campus festival.
Youthful AmigoShūji to Akira
It’s a limited-time unit formed by Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi, who appeared in the drama Nobuta wo Produce, and it served as the show’s theme song.
The song depicts the friendship between two outlaws and is known for its easy-to-learn dance.
It’s a friendship anthem that really gets people excited at school festivals and cultural festivals.
Youth DiaryRyukku to soine gohan
Ryugu to Soinen Gohan, a band hugely popular even among teenagers, has produced many songs themed around youth; among them, the one I especially want to highlight is “Seishun Nikki” (Youth Diary).
It captures the whirlwind pace of adolescence with a driving, exhilarating sound.
The lyrics depict a high school student who looks back on the past with nostalgia while moving forward together with friends.
It seems like a perfect song to listen to when you feel a bit wistful at the end of a school or culture festival.
It would also make ideal background music for a video looking back on a school festival.

The lyrics, which express concern for a friend who isn’t experiencing a happy romance, convey a bond that only girls can truly understand.
It’s a song that makes you think: what you really need are friends!
