Song Yellyuzu
Yuzu, the folk duo that has energized the J-pop scene with numerous cheer songs.
The one we want everyone to hear before starting a new chapter in life is their 2018 release, “Uta Yell.” It’s a catchy, hand-clap-worthy pop number that was used as the theme song for Nippon Life’s “A Cheer for You” commercial.
The chorus, which feels like a hummable tune, carries a message of enjoying yourself without overthinking.
With lively brass band arrangements and rich harmonies, it’s a song that will set you walking into your entrance ceremony in a joyful mood!
I’ve gotta do the thing that seems impossible.Sambomasutā
A track packed with Sambomaster’s fiery spirit.
Just listening to it fills you with strength.
The lyrics are sprinkled with straightforward, encouraging words that will turn the anxieties of a new life into courage.
Released in February 2010, it drew attention as a Nissan commercial song.
In 2018, it also became the theme song for a TBS drama.
Soccer player Yuji Nakazawa appears in the music video, drawing interest from the sports world as well.
It’s a must-listen for anyone diving into a new environment or feeling anxious before an entrance ceremony.
Start to shine and run forwardSambomasutā
Everyone gets nervous when they change into a uniform for the first time and walk through the school gate, don’t they? The song that gives you the courage to face each new day is “Kagayakidashite Hashitteku.” Sambomaster released it in 2018, and it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Cheer☆Dan.” The rock sound unique to a three-piece band really resonates.
Even if you go through tough times or hit a wall, the lyrics make you want to work hard at your club activities and studies.
If you’re feeling anxious as you head into your entrance ceremony, try listening to his gentle voice.

A song by Kensuke Yugeda that expresses gratitude at the milestone age of ten, set to a gentle melody that feels familiar to everyone.
It warmly conveys treasured memories with friends and heartfelt thanks to family and teachers.
The tender, embracing tune resonates deeply with listeners and invites empathy.
This piece is included on the album “Dream & Dream: Let’s Connect Our Dreams,” and starting in 2024 it has been selected for inclusion in elementary school music textbooks.
Yugeda, who holds school concerts nationwide, has performed over 2,000 times and continues composing with children in mind.
It’s a song you’ll want to sing with all your heart when expressing thanks to important people—at events like the “Halfway to Adulthood Ceremony” (celebrating turning ten) or end-of-year grade activities.

IdeaHoshino Gen
An uplifting cheer song filled with hope and the power to move forward has been born.
Written with Hoshino Gen’s vivid touch, it’s a track themed around “inventiveness” as a means to overcome adversity.
Riding on a light, breezy rhythm, it speaks to how even the walls we encounter in everyday life can open into new paths when we reassess them from a fresh perspective.
