Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
A gem of a rock ballad that sings of overcoming everyday nihilism and loneliness, and of hope for the future.
The protagonist, walking alone through the darkness, reexamines their path under the moonlight and prepares to take a new step forward—a quietly moving scene.
The lyrics, infused with feelings of alienation in the city and longing for someone dear, resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in July 1997 as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Night is Bright with the Moon,” this work became one of Elephant Kashimashi’s signature songs.
When you feel lost in life, when someone comes to mind, when you need the courage to move forward—Hiroji Miyamoto’s soulful voice will stay close to your heart and gently give you strength.

Released in February 2010, it was also used in a Nissan commercial.
The lyrics are filled with the kind of passionate message characteristic of Sambomaster, and the energetic performance truly resonates.

This song was used as the theme for a Credit Saison commercial supporting Japan’s national soccer team.
It’s a track by folk singer Pistil Takehara, released as a digital single in October 2024.
The powerful band sound and rugged vocals are outstanding—it’s a song that makes you sit up straight just by listening.
The lyrics convey a sense of anticipation for growth that comes from staying true to one’s convictions, and it really fires you up.
I think it’s a motivational anthem that can give you strength in many situations.
Mela!Ryokushokushakai
Anyone who holds onto hope can become a hero someday.
Released by Ryokuoushoku Shakai in April 2020, this song sings of that very courage and passion.
It carefully portrays a protagonist who, despite struggling with their own powerlessness, is driven by the desire to protect someone dear.
Its pop, energetic sound and deeply relatable, message-rich lyrics are captivating.
Included on the album “SINGALONG,” it was also featured in a commercial.
I wholeheartedly recommend this track as a companion for those taking a first step into a new chapter of life or wrestling with the decision to take on a challenge.
