That's good too.

An energetic track with a wonderful marching-band rhythm and a poppy vibe! It’s a song by Wakeys, released in April 2025 as the ending theme for NHK Educational TV’s “The Wakey Show.” Created by singer-songwriter Kento Kocchi, the piece was reportedly crafted with the image of children humming along on their way to school in the morning.

Forever LoveX JAPAN

X Japan – Forever Love

I think this song can rightly be called one of X Japan’s signature tracks.

When you listen while reflecting on X Japan’s history—overcoming many hardships such as the death of members and the brainwashing scandal involving vocalist Toshi—the word “Forever” in the title feels profoundly meaningful.

Even putting that aside, it’s simply a wonderful song that can lift your spirits.

A rock-influenced arrangement and catchy melody amplify the uplifting message.
