Everyone, everyone is shining (unison chorus)

Riding on a cherry-blossom-colored breeze, this heartwarming song by Kensuke Yugeda gently sings of spring’s hopeful arrival.

It carries a message of encouragement for children taking their first new steps, conveying a sense of anticipation for a shining future.

The melody, expressing adorable freshness and the courage to walk toward one’s dreams, tenderly resonates with listeners.

This work is included on the album “Shiawase ni Naare” (“Wishing You Happiness”) and is beloved at entrance ceremonies and welcome events for new students in elementary schools across Japan.

Since June 2018, it has been passed down in schools nationwide, and through more than 2,000 school concerts, Yugeda has delivered it directly to children.

It is a springtime song full of joy that we hope new students, teachers, and families alike will listen to.

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.

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