Life is the best way to kill time.HoneyWorks feat. Hanon
Have you ever felt jealous of someone, thinking, “I wish I could be as cute as that girl”? If so, HoneyWorks feat.
Hanon’s “Life Is the Best Way to Kill Time” will soothe that frustration and turn it into a positive feeling.
Despite its bright melody, the lyrics center on the protagonist’s darker emotions, which makes it highly relatable for anyone who tends to view themselves pessimistically.
But it doesn’t end on a gloomy note—toward the latter half, the protagonist shifts their mindset and tries to look forward.
You’ll likely find yourself uplifted along with them, so I highly recommend it!

Ado’s vocals are also wonderfully satisfying, powerfully soaring as she skillfully switches between chest voice and falsetto, a performance that’s sure to energize you.
Give it a listen when you’re starting something new, whether in student life or at work!

As Ayaka herself said she aimed to “create a song that stays close,” the forward-looking lyrics, focused solely on the future, are especially striking.
“Don’t keep looking back—let’s face the present and what lies ahead, and live strongly!” It’s a song that sparks that kind of resolve.

Leo Ieiri’s clear, soaring high notes resonate straight in the heart.

It features buoyant, breezy sound and grand, hope-filled lyrics pushed to the forefront.
We may sometimes feel anxious about an unimaginable future, but that moment will surely come.
It’s a song that inspires you to move forward, believing that you’ll reach your destination someday and that you will definitely see the light.
