There are times in life when we feel lost or anxious and come to a halt.

But facing difficulties can become a wonderful life experience.

With that sentiment, Mr.Children released a song in October 1998.

Over a grand structure exceeding seven minutes, it powerfully and energetically sings of the wonder of living and the courage to take on challenges.

The song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Naguru Onna,” selling 516,000 copies in its first week and achieving an astonishing hit with over 1.07 million copies in total single sales.

It is a masterpiece that resonates deeply with those about to take a new step in life, those striving toward their dreams and goals, and those searching for their own path.

Released in December 2024 as the theme song for the film Cells at Work, the piece was written and composed by Satoshi Fujihara of Official HIGE DANDism, based on his own experience of taking a hiatus due to health issues.

Boys & GirlsTHE FUSE

A single released in 1990.

They were a four-piece rock band that debuted in 1989.

While they were often seen as a looks-first band, they were solid performers as a rock group.

However, they disbanded about three years after their debut, so I think many people might not know them.

This song has a strong rock feel while skillfully incorporating a pop melody, making it an upbeat, mood-lifting track.

loadTHE toraburyū

This song is a popular, heartrending classic that exudes melancholy.

It looks especially cool when sung by men around their forties.

It was such a big hit that I don’t think anyone from that generation doesn’t know it.

Many people probably listened to it often during their youth.

It’s an easy song for men to sing, and the relaxed tempo makes it a great choice for karaoke, too.

If you can sing it solidly with a manly presence, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
