Whether you spent your youth like this or not, it’s a fun number that makes you want to burst with energy just by listening.

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!

“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.

This is a pop, stylish tune that’s sure to lift your spirits.
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.
Just kidding.RADWIMPS
A four-piece band formed in 2001.
They are an exceptionally skilled group that drew major attention for performing the soundtrack in the film Your Name.
“Nanchitte,” included on their second full-length album since their debut, is a beloved classic that’s hugely popular at live shows.
