It’s a song whose soft yet powerful tone really resonates with the heart! A new chapter in life often brings a mix of anxiety and loneliness, doesn’t it? When you listen to this track at times like that, it’ll surely make you feel like facing forward and giving it your all.

NoGoD released an album called “Gokusaishiki” in February 2009, and this song is one of the tracks on it.

While it’s based on a metal sound, it’s crafted to be melodic and easy to listen to.

I think it’s a song that gently gives a push to everyone stepping into a new environment.

Give it a listen as you head into entrance ceremonies or the start of a new life!

There’s also a recommended cheer-up song among Official HIGE DANDism’s tracks! This song tells the story of a bird named Laughter, who breaks out of its cage and soars into the open sky.

Even though it knows there may be various hardships once it leaves the cage, Laughter musters the courage to reach the place it’s aiming for—an image that overlaps with new students about to enter school and dive into a new environment.

Released in July 2020, the song was also used as the theme for the film The Confidence Man JP: Princess.

It’s a perfect track for sending encouragement to freshmen starting a new chapter while carrying some anxiety.

Cheering songTHE Inazuma Sentai

This is one of the signature songs by the youth punk band THE Inazuma Sentai.

As the title suggests, it’s a cheer song packed with a very straightforward message of support.

It’s a track I especially want new students, who may be anxious about life at a new school, to hear.

When someone tells you to “Do your best!!” this directly, you can’t help but try your hardest, right? It’s an empowering song that blows away your worries.

This song skillfully portrays the mixed feelings of anticipation and anxiety that accompany a new life.

Kujira’s delicate vocals beautifully capture the protagonist’s emotions as they seem on the verge of being swallowed by the city’s clamor.

Included on the album “Yasaishitsu,” released in November 2023, the track gently embraces the complex feelings of those entering a new environment.

It’s striking in the way it faces the loneliness and restlessness that lurk beneath the allure of a vast metropolis like Tokyo.

As a piece that stands beside anyone at a life milestone—moving, starting school, or beginning a job—it’s sure to resonate deeply.
