On the first listen, you’ll be overwhelmed by the sudden, power-packed intro.

Then it shifts gears into a gentle flow with simple piano, offering a wide dynamic range that keeps us engaged and never bored.

On top of the already delightful melody, the lyrics give you that extra push.

It’s the kind of song that makes you laugh and think, “Alright, alright! I’ll just start running, honestly!”

Nothing dramatic has happened, but we live our lives as usual.

Perhaps it’s precisely that kind of routine that tires us out the most.

This song is crafted to blow away the fatigue of those everyday days.

With lyrics that make you go “Exactly!” it’s a track filled with the energy to shake off your tiredness and give you a push forward.

The lyrics are full of metaphors and vague turns of phrase, so it’s hard to extract a clear meaning from the words alone.

And yet, it ends up being a song that seeps in and makes you think, “Ah, so that’s what it is.” It’s a track that seems to point out the everyday haze we carry around but never quite recognized.

It’s the theme song of the film Weathering With You.

First, say nothing and just listen—this is that kind of song.

It doesn’t make a flashy fuss, yet its melody and vocals refuse to let go of our ears.

“I don’t really know why, but my eyes are filling with tears”—some listeners might feel that way.

This is a song whose charm makes you want to look forward even more to how brilliantly it shines together with the film.

In true Sambomaster fashion, this is a song that keeps pushing you forward with a resounding “More, more!” If you’re alive, there will surely be times when it’s so painful you think you can’t go on.

But even while acknowledging that pain, this song tells you, “It’s going to be okay!” Try listening to it with an empty mind.

Even if you’ve never really listened to the song itself, many of you probably feel like you’ve heard it somewhere.

That’s how widely this track has been used, and how many people it has encouraged.

It’s a piece that stays by our side without ever letting us down, no matter the circumstances.

It’s the theme song for the drama “I Will Not Work Overtime, Period!” At first glance, the song moves along calmly and slowly.

However, after that run-up, it unleashes an incredible explosion in the chorus.

The shock in that moment—like being jolted awake—and the lyrics that feel as if they’re speaking directly to you will blow your worries away all at once.
