Happy! Fun! I love it!DREAMS COME TRUE
Even just from the title “Happy! Fun! I Love You!”, you can already feel the excitement—it’s one of DREAMS COME TRUE’s signature songs.
Released in 1989 as the B-side to their third single “Happy, Embarrassed, Going Home in the Morning,” it became a hit familiar from TV commercials and more.
From the intro, your energy starts to rise; it’s a track loved by people of all ages.
It’s a positive number that charges ahead on pure forward-looking feelings, letting emotions lead the way.
Loverssumika
Lovers is a number from sumika’s indie days that pumps you up right from the start with a dazzling band sound and bright piano tones.
At live shows, there are parts in the chorus where the band and fans become one, making it a track that really shines on stage.
The lyrics portray a slightly clingy man pledging eternal love to his girlfriend and wishing to stay by her side forever.
He shows all his weaknesses, yet insists it has to be her—an intensity of love that makes your heart flutter.
Even a nerve-wracking proposal might go well if you harness the song’s sense of excitement and sparkle as your secret weapon!
Happy Pre-Wedding SongYabai T-shatsu Yasan
The band Yabai T-Shirts Yasan, nicknamed “Yaba-T” and popular among young people, is highly regarded for its bright and fun musical style.
One of their signature songs, ‘Happy Wedding-mae Song,’ is a cheerful, goofy track themed around marriage.
The music video, which has a vibe like “Just get married on a whim,” is entertaining to watch all by itself.
Chocolate DiscoPerfume
A smash hit from Perfume produced by Yasutaka Nakata.
Alongside Sayuri Kokusho’s “Valentine Kiss,” it’s a song that livens up Valentine’s Day every year.
Surprisingly, this track wasn’t a single—it was included on the album “Fan Service (sweet).” Who could have predicted it would become this popular? Its sterile technopop sound has a light, addictive quality.
It’s performed at most of their concerts, and the chorus where the entire venue jumps in unison is truly breathtaking.
It’s a song that makes your heart flutter even when it isn’t Valentine’s Day.
Star MarkerKANA-BOON
From the intro alone it’s catchy and gets you hyped! It’s the 14th single released in 2020 by the rock band KANA-BOON, known for songs like “Full Drive” and “Naimononedari.” It was used as the opening theme for the anime My Hero Academia.
It’s a motivational song that lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.
The melody line is straightforward, making it an easy and pleasant listen.
By the way, Daisuke Kanazawa, the keyboardist of the rock band Fujifabric, also participated in the arrangement.
STARTING OVERLittle Glee Monster
This song’s uplifting melody and lyrics will make anyone who listens feel happy.
The positive words are so pleasant to hear.
Little Glee Monster is made up solely of strong vocalists, and their powerful singing is truly overwhelming—so easy on the ears.
I also recommend it for people pursuing their dreams or those who are parting ways with friends.
When you’re sad about being separated from friends, or when chasing your dreams feels tough, I hope you’ll listen to this song.
It will help you feel more positive.
Music HourPorunogurafiti
I could just say that any Porno Graffitti song gives me energy and end the review there—but no, even among them, this song “Music Hour” is one of the top contenders! The “weird dance” during the song, now a live-show staple, always sends the crowd into a frenzy.
If you’ve never seen it, you absolutely should! And of course, if you can make it to a concert, experience it live! The lyrics are written as if for a radio program, capturing exchanges between the host and listeners’ postcards.
If they can turn even a radio show into such a wonderful song, Porno Graffitti are amazing! If you’re feeling low, start by listening to this track.
