Unwavering WishTamura Naomi
Resounding with a sound that embodies an unyielding will to push forward without giving up on dreams and goals, it stirs the listener’s heart with fiery emotion.
Woven by Naomi Tamura, this rock-tinged, youth-infused piece carries a message of courage to overcome hardships time and again.
Released in November 1994, it was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Magic Knight Rayearth and was also included on the album N’ and the acclaimed GOLDEN☆BEST.
Mirroring the protagonist’s doubts and inner conflicts as well as their determined, forward-looking stance, it achieved remarkable synergy.
It’s the perfect song to gently nudge you from behind when you want to move forward but can’t quite take that first step.
Barefoot GoddessB’z
The 13th single by B’z, released on June 2, 1993.
Powerful, expansive, and warm guitar, and vocals that pour energy into your heart! It’s not that we’re hurt because we’re weak; rather, the strength to accept the pain and keep walking is immense.
Yet it also seems to encourage you by saying you don’t have to push yourself all alone.
A classic B’z song that gives you both vitality and warmth!
Osaka LoverDREAMS COME TRUE
The 38th single, released on March 7, 2007.
The chorus lyrics, which feel like conjugated verb forms, add extra impact, and the pattern of “because it’s like this, even though it’s like this,” rising and falling before settling, becomes pleasantly addictive the more you listen.
Packed with Osaka landmarks and Osaka dialect, it puts you in a great mood—a super awesome love song by DREAMS COME TRUE!
Gotta GAMBA, right?LINDBERG
The 19th single, released on March 16, 1994.
At the time, the chorus was used in a Shinken Zemi commercial and played so often you’d memorize it naturally—a lively LINDBERG song! A warm and powerful track that conveys inner struggle and what lies beyond, giving you the motivation to keep going.
DEAR FRIENDSPERSONZ
PERSONZ’s fourth single, released on February 21, 1989.
It became the theme song for the drama “Mamahaha Boogie” and quickly gained widespread popularity—a true classic! As we grow older, we may find ourselves opening up less, crying less, and receiving fewer words of encouragement.
Still, the precious memories of friends who truly scolded us when we needed it and cheered us on will never fade.
“DEAR FRIENDS” is a warm friendship song by PERSONZ that brings back countless moments of gratitude.
Limit LoversSHOW-YA
SHOW-YA’s 8th single, released on February 1, 1989.
Sparks fly within the first few seconds of the intro! Powerful, fiery sound with wild, emotional vocals.
Whether you like heavy metal or not, it’s catchy and easy to listen to, and before you know it, your energy is rising! More than just uplifting—this is a power song that ignites a blazing fire!
STAY TUNESuchmos
If you blast down the Shuto Expressway at midnight or listen in a dark, neon-lit room at full volume, this track feels like it could blow away all your work and family stress.
Suchmos songs are packed with style, so it’s best enjoyed while imagining yourself in Roppongi or Aoyama.
