Everybody, good job!M!LK

M!LK – Everybody Good Job! (Official Music Video)

It’s a lively cheer song that makes you feel a refreshing breeze.

Released by M!LK in October 2024, this track carries a powerful message to shake off the fatigue and hardships of everyday life.

With lyrics that give you a gentle push—“It’ll all work out”—and a rhythmic groove, it stands out.

Built on a dance-pop foundation with a bright sound, it’s something people of all ages can enjoy.

If you listen when you’re feeling down or need a boost, it’s sure to lift your spirits! As their sixth single since their major debut, this song is bound to resonate with you.

Summer 1999, OkinawaMr.Children

Mr Children 1999, Natsu, Okinawa; English Sub LIVE

A song that tells the story of a 30-year-old protagonist who visited Okinawa in the summer of 1999.

Though he left his hometown far behind to chase his dreams, he wonders, “Where am I supposed to go from here?” It’s a song that portrays, in a true-to-life way, a man who has grown older yet still isn’t sure which path his life should take.

Mr.Children – youthful days

It’s a love song, but listening to it when I’m having a hard time gives me energy.

It’s about an ordinary guy whose heart flutters at his girlfriend’s little gestures.

I think the reason this song can lift you up is that it shifts your mindset—from dwelling on your worries to thinking, “Instead of stressing about this, I should find a boyfriend who makes my heart flutter like in this song.”

Pure AsiaPUFFY

Puffy - Asia no Junshin

The lyrics don’t feel particularly meaningful, but finding out that Yosui Inoue wrote and composed it made sense to me.

It’s PUFFY’s debut single, released in May 1996, and it seems to have shaped their image to some extent.

Apparently it was number one on the Oricon karaoke chart for 12 consecutive weeks.

I guess songs like this are popular with everyone, too.

PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH

【LIVE】PERFECT HUMAN / RADIO FISH

From Oriental Radio’s new routine comes PERFECT HUMAN.

In the first place, a unit called RADIO FISH—formed in 2014 by Oriental Radio along with FISHBOY, who is the real younger brother of Oriental Radio’s Nakata—released this as their sixth single.

They have appeared not only on comedy/sketch shows but also on Music Station, and they are popular as music artists as well.

BeatifulSuperfly

Superfly『Beautiful』Music Video

A beautiful, soaring, and powerful high voice.

Its unwavering stability pairs perfectly with the lyrics’ positive message about living, and with the forward-driving, beat-heavy rhythm, it pushes the listener’s feelings, emotions, way of walking, and way of life ahead.

It envelops you in its overall resonance.

It’s an energizing song.

CHE.R.R.YYUI

YUI　『CHE.R.RY-short ver.-』

Released in 2007, this song was featured in a commercial for the mobile carrier au’s “LISMO,” and became a huge hit.

With its cute depiction of bittersweet unrequited love, it’s a romance song perfect for a refreshing morning.

I’d love for women in love to wake up to this song.
