Ken Hirai’s signature song “POP STAR” was released in 2005 and quickly became a hit.

As the theme song for the Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Kiken na Aneki” (Dangerous Sister), it captured the hearts of many.

Its driving energy and sparkling melody lighten your heart just by listening and lift your spirits.

For women in their 40s leading busy lives in particular, that refreshing feeling is truly healing.

The lyrics, which express the desire to become a special presence—like being your own hero—also resonate, and there’s no doubt the song gives energy to everyone doing their best!

Masaharu Fukuyama – Theory of Happiness (Fukuyama☆Summer Great Thanksgiving Festival: My Stadium Live Requests with You!! ~Let’s Do It with an Acoustic Solo~)

Even in his late 40s and beyond, Masaharu Fukuyama is still Masaharu Fukuyama.

His coolness is eternal.

If Masaharu Fukuyama declared “I love you” on a humanity-wide scale, anyone would surely fall for him.

Just listening will bring an involuntary smile to your face.

Cheer upTakeuchi Mariya

Cheer Up – Mariya Takeuchi

Mariya Takeuchi, known as an iconic figure from the golden era of city pop in the J-POP scene and still actively creating music today, is a singer-songwriter whose song “Genki wo Dashite” was originally written for Hiroko Yakushimaru.

Though later self-covered and released as her 17th single, it has become one of Takeuchi’s signature tracks.

Its lyrics gently comfort and encourage wounded hearts, offering solace—perhaps especially to men in their 40s who may often carry work-related stress.

With its relaxed tempo that makes it easy to sing, it’s a timeless classic that never loses its luster.

As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE

Again and Again – DREAMS COME TRUE (Full)

DREAMS COME TRUE is popular with both men and women across generations, and when it comes to uplifting songs, I think “Nando Demo” is the one.

The chorus is powerful, and it’s an incredibly energizing track that lifts your spirits whether you’re listening or singing along.

If you haven’t heard it yet, I highly recommend giving it a listen at least once.

Safarii is known for their popular love songs, but they also have many uplifting anthems—and this track is a great pick-me-up.

The lyrics carry a strong message, making it a wonderful song that blows away worries and feelings of discouragement.

It’s recommended for everyone—from students to working adults.
