I’d like to introduce some songs recommended for those who want to encourage themselves or a loved one who’s feeling anxious because of illness.

Being alone can make unpleasant thoughts surface even more.

HeroAmuro Namie
Even after her retirement, Namie Amuro still has many passionate fans, and her songs are often heard.
“Hero” was her 45th single, released in 2016, and it was also the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics and Paralympics that year.
With lyrics that resonate with those who are striving toward something, it’s sure to encourage people fighting illness as well.
If you feel you don’t have the right words to say something directly, how about cheering someone on with this song?
OVERCOME10-FEET
OVERCOME, sung by 10-FEET, a three-piece rock band from Kyoto Prefecture, is included on their 2006 album TWISTER.
One of the charms of their songs is the way the lyrics encourage and stand by listeners from the same point of view.
That sense of compassion and love comes through in this track as well, and hearing the line about wanting to “eliminate all incurable diseases and wars” might offer at least a bit of support to those who are battling illness.
In contrast to the mood of the lyrics, however, the upbeat sound—infused with reggae elements—is quintessentially 10-FEET and might lift your spirits as you listen.

It’s a powerful, uplifting anthem that truly resonates.
Released in September 2024 as OWV’s 10th single, this track was produced by Da-iCE’s Taiki Kudo and gives you the courage to keep moving forward even in difficult times.
The sunrise imagery is used effectively, evoking the arrival of new hope.
It’s a song I especially want people to hear if they’re dealing with illness and anxiety or standing at a crossroads in life.
It will surely make you feel, “I’m going to do my best, too.”
