Listen and Get Excited! Happy Songs That Make You Feel Great (11–20)
Ca Va?Bikkeburanka
You might think it’s a piano-driven ballad song… but it actually unfolds into something you can dance to.
It’s a track by Vickeblanka, a singer-songwriter from Aichi Prefecture, released in 2019 as his third single.
The bouncy rhythm and melody, along with a sound that blends funkiness with a mature vibe, really stick in your ears.
The lyrics carry an encouraging message that supports you from behind.
Let this song blow away the anxiety and stress swirling in your chest! And hey, dancing along is definitely an option!
Summer Colorsyuzu
Yuzu are now practically a venerable presence in Japan’s music scene, but I feel their songs always reflect a boyish heart.
This track, released in 1998, still feels so fresh that you might think, “Wait, was it really that long ago?” I’m amazed all over again by the lasting power of a song that continues to be loved.
You could call it the vigor of youth—it’s a song that fills you with youthful energy.
And you just can’t help wanting to sing it when you’re riding a bike downhill, right?
my sweet darlin’Yaita Hitomi
The second single and biggest hit by singer-songwriter Hitomi Yaida, born and raised in Osaka.
Her charming, friendly way of talking sometimes makes her chats between songs run a bit long.
This full-on band-sound track has a great groove, and it makes you want to sing along regardless of the English lyrics.
If any song gives you energy, it’s this one! The lyric with a vibe like “I’m afraid of losing, but I want you” also showcases Yaida’s sharp knack for catchy phrasing.
New Treasure IslandSakanakushon
This song, Shin Takara-jima, famous for its music video that evokes Dorifu Daibakushō and the School Mates, is Sakanakution’s 11th single, released in 2015, and one of their most popular tracks.
Looking only at the lyrics, it’s a very short and simple song, but once set to the melody, it transforms so dramatically! It’s a number with an indescribable exhilaration—the way it surges toward the chorus lifts the listener’s excitement higher and higher.
B lovedFunk Discussion Brothers
It’s a song about type-B girls, with a cool bass line.
The lyrics make you think, “Yeah, I know girls like that,” and they’ll make you chuckle.
The last line in particular is really funny.
Ryoichi Yamada, the guitarist and vocalist, is also well known as the frontman of Hanuman and Buzzmothers.
Decisive Battle SpiritCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This is a work by the creator unit HoneyWorks and singer CHiCO.
It was released in 2020 as their 12th single.
It drew attention for being used as the ending theme for the anime Haikyu!! TO THE TOP.
It’s an aggressive rock number that drives forward relentlessly.
The straightforward vocals really hit home.
The lyrics encourage turning failure into a springboard toward higher goals, a message that perfectly matches the world of Haikyu!! TO THE TOP, which centers on high school volleyball.
It’s a motivational song we’d love people dedicated to sports to hear.
Listen and get excited! Happy songs that make you feel great (21–30)
IdeaHoshino Gen
When you listen to songs with a bright and gentle sound, your heart feels soothed and you start to feel happy, right? If you’re looking for songs like that, I recommend Gen Hoshino’s “Idea.” It begins with the gentle tones of a xylophone in the intro, and the warm sound of the violins is also pleasant.
Its rhythmic feel will definitely leave you in a good mood by the time you finish listening!
