REDB’z
Many of you may remember it as a soul-stirring anthem created for a single athlete.
It is said that B’z produced the song at the direct request of pitcher Hiroki Kuroda when he returned to the Hiroshima Toyo Carp.
Its austere message, mirroring the figure of a pitcher battling alone on the mound, strikes a chord.
The lyrics embody a strong will to avoid the easy path, blame no one, and maintain strict self-discipline, powerfully pushing listeners forward.
Released as a single in June 2015, the song fired up stadiums and was also used as the theme for a television program.
The record it set—becoming B’z’s 48th consecutive No.
1 single—speaks to its immense popularity.
It’s a passionate track you’ll want to play to fire yourself up when taking on a major goal.
Until I throw away my dreams and become an adultKasamura Tōta
As time goes by, many people end up letting go of the dreams they once held.
This song portrays the resistance to abandoning those dreams and the determination to realize dreams once lost, conveying a way of facing one’s aspirations.
Through the depiction of the reluctance to give up on a dream in the lyrics, it communicates the difficulty of holding on to dreams and offers a message of encouragement to live authentically.
The wistful, piano-centered sound is another highlight, emphasizing the lyrics’ message while evoking an image of quietly confronting one’s own heart.

OH！SHISHAMO
When you’re working hard toward a goal, people might say things like “That’s impossible,” or “It’s lame to try that hard.” For anyone who’s been mocked like that, this is the song I want you to hear! These artists have lots of bright, uplifting tracks, but this one, in particular, delivers especially empowering words.
It cheers you on by saying, “Don’t worry about what others think—even if it’s gritty, the fact that you’re giving it your all is awesome!” It reminds you that working hard is something to be proud of.

Cheering Song feat. MOOMINShonan no Kaze
This track, which features reggae singer MOOMIN with Shonan no Kaze, who belt out gutsy, hard-hitting songs for men, is, as the title suggests, a cheer song.
It might be hard for women to fully relate to, but it’s essentially a “brotherhood anthem” where men encourage men.
It’s the perfect song for those moments when you want someone to give you a push.
