Upbeat songs. Recommended energetic tracks (41–50)
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
Judging by the title and the lyrics, it’s definitely not a cheerful song, yet somehow it sounds like one.
Of course, the rock beat has a lot to do with that, but when you watch the music video, the choreography involves lots of hand movements, mostly actions that raise the hands upward.
That’s actually pretty tough.
I feel it’s a song you can’t sing and dance to unless you’re full of energy.

ChampionArisu
It seems to be the group’s biggest hit and the only single by Alice to reach number one on the Oricon chart.
I was around elementary school age at the time, and I remember singing it loudly with my friends over and over.
If you listen closely, it’s actually about a seasoned champion who ends up losing, but we sang it cheerfully just because the word “champion” sounded uplifting.

A love-filled celebratory song for someone on their birthday.
