Soothe your nerves! Uplifting songs to listen to for the entrance ceremony.

Tomorrow will surely be a good day.Takahashi Yuu

Yū Takahashi’s directorial debut MV “Tomorrow Will Surely Be a Good Day” — Omokuri Director Edit Version (Short Size)

This is the 13th single by singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi, who is also known for his hometown pride—he even organizes the Akita CARAVAN MUSIC FES out of a desire to “energize Akita through music.” The song was featured in a commercial for Daihatsu’s Cast Activa, and many people may recognize its lively, fast-paced arrangement and catchy phrases.

The repeated line, “Tomorrow will surely be a good day,” makes you feel supported as you navigate a new life that doesn’t always go as planned.

Even if today doesn’t go well, it inspires you to try again tomorrow—an uplifting anthem that helps steady the anxieties of starting something new.

Da-iCE / “Dandelion” Music Video

A song about the strength to survive adversity and the hope that carries us forward has arrived from Da-iCE.

Released as a digital single in April 2023, the track was chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Keiji to Kenji, Tokidoki Hanji.” The lyrics and composition were handled by Da-iCE vocalist Sota Hanamura.

This powerful mid-tempo ballad leaves a strong impression of resolve to overcome any hardship, like a single flower blooming undaunted through cracks in the asphalt.

The members’ vocals resonate warmly at times and powerfully at others, and the song was included on the album “SCENE” in May.

It’s a track that delivers strength and courage to those feeling anxious before the start of the school season and to everyone standing at a crossroads in life.

This track is striking for its refreshing vocals and melodies that feel like they set the heart free.

Through depictions of nature, it expresses emotional highs and lows, layering life’s hopes onto the shift from rain to clear skies.

Yorushika’s characteristically delicate poetic world blends with a translucent sound crafted by synthesizers and guitar.

Released as a digital single in January 2024, it was used as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and also featured in Suntory’s SUI gin web commercial.

This work is a powerful cheering song that gently, warmly nudges you forward as you take a new step.

Give it a listen when you need the courage to look ahead.

As a song perfect for cheering on a new chapter in life, I recommend “Daijoubu” by Marcy.

It was released on March 1, 2023.

The song carries a warm message that encourages those facing anxiety and doubt: “Up until now, you’ve managed to keep moving forward.” As you stand at the starting line of a new life at an entrance ceremony, this song will give you courage and strength.

The music video, featuring actress Ayuri Yoshinaga, is also deeply moving and beautifully portrays the journey of life.

I hope everyone who’s feeling uneasy will listen to this song.

This song accompanies the pivotal moments of life.

Included on RADWIMPS’s album “X to O to Tsumi to,” released in December 2013, it gives you the courage to take a step forward after days of compromise.

With a striking guitar riff and drums, the track portrays the protagonist’s struggle between stability and challenge.

The music video, filmed at Ageo Municipal Baseball Stadium in Saitama Prefecture with 1,500 extras, uses a baseball game as a metaphor to depict a dramatic life comeback.

For those torn between ideals and reality, or feeling anxious about entering a new environment before a school entrance ceremony, this one song is sure to give you courage.

There are surely children who feel nervous or a bit bewildered as they enter the new world of elementary school.

At such times, the song’s bright rhythm will surely be a source of comfort.
