Love so sweetarashi
A massive hit by Arashi, who went on hiatus in December 2020.
It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser at live shows and has broad support as a song that lifts your spirits even if you’re not an Arashi fan.
The call-and-response of “Woo woo” and “yeah yeah” from the intro instantly closes the distance between the performers and the fans.
More than just a love song, it lets you once again appreciate the magnitude of Arashi with its grand theme: “Encounters between people are never accidental, and those memories are eternal.” We can’t wait for Arashi to resume their activities!
MUSIC VIDEOOkazaki Taiiku
This song, “MUSIC VIDEO,” is what catapulted Okazaki Taiiku straight into stardom.
It’s packed with all the classic “music video clichés,” so even people who don’t usually pay much attention to MVs will find themselves thinking, “Oh yeah, I’ve seen a video like this!” It’s a fun track, but beyond that, the transitions and lyrics are brilliantly crafted, making you think, “Wow, you can express this much in a single song!” The fresh, expansive chorus will make you want to sing along.
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!
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.
peace signYonezu Kenshi
How about a fiery rock number that makes you want to raise your arm and sing along as you listen? It’s a song by Kenshi Yonezu, the singer-songwriter known for hits like “Lemon” and “Paprika.” It drew attention when it was chosen as a theme song for the anime My Hero Academia.
The driving tempo pairs perfectly with the powerful, uplifting lyrics that make you want to live positively.
While Kenshi Yonezu is known for his distinctive musical style, this track is especially accessible, making it a strong recommendation for anyone thinking of starting to explore his music now.
Over DriveJUDY AND MARY
“Over Drive,” one of the signature songs by JUDY AND MARY—the band that always tops the list of groups people want to see reunite.
Released in 1995, it was their seventh single.
You’ve probably heard it in commercials, too.
Just like the title suggests, it’s perfect for a drive—an ideal track to listen to under a clear blue sky on a sunny day.
Its poem-like lyrics and refreshing melody sink gently into a wounded heart.
On days when you’re not feeling it, let this song spark some excitement and lift your spirits.
