JOYYU-KI
A light, upbeat dance track marked by a four-on-the-floor rhythm and distinctive synthesizers.
It’s a signature work from YUKI’s solo career, singing about the small joys of everyday life and the complexities of human relationships.
The song carries a unique, floating feel where optimism and a touch of wistfulness coexist.
Released in January 2005 and included on the album “joy” later that year, it also earned praise for its music video featuring YUKI delivering a striking dance performance alongside dancers in full-body black tights.
It’s a recommended listen when you want a spark in your daily routine or a boost of positivity.
SignalWANIMA
When you’re feeling down and need a boost, a lot of people probably choose WANIMA.
Their song “Signal” is perfect for times like that—and also when you simply want to get hyped.
It’s a staple at their live shows where the whole audience comes together and goes wild.
With its sense of speed, it makes you want to literally start running, giving you energy and bringing everyone together.
It’s a great pick for karaoke or a drive.
Invincible happiness!suzumiya haruhi (CV: hirano aya) nagato yuki (CV: chihara minori) asahina mikuru (CV: goto yuko)
It’s an irresistibly happy number that feels like a big “We’re back!” to fans who’ve been waiting for years.
Sung by Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yuko Goto, the track is set to release in July 2025.
It was born from the crowdfunding project launched in November 2024 to commemorate the release of “Theatrical Haruhi Suzumiya.” The colorful sound that gets your body moving without overthinking perfectly embodies the series’ energy.
The lyrics’ message—about charging ahead by your own rules with strong resolve, and how the meaning of encounters follows later—will make listeners’ hearts skip.
When you want to punch a hole through a dull routine, put this song on!
Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
A uniquely catchy pop-rock tune with an irresistibly memorable melody and a dash of irony about modern society.
This message song from UNISON SQUARE GARDEN vividly portrays contrasts between sweet and bitter, the subtle discomforts lurking in everyday life, and the tension between individuality and equality.
The more you listen, the more you discover, and its charm will have you humming along again and again.
Released from the album “Ninth Peel,” recorded in May 2015, it was used as the ending theme for the TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.
It’s a song we especially recommend to anyone trying to keep moving forward, even while feeling lost amid hectic days.
I can’t forget it.Sakanakushon
When you’re feeling down, many people prefer listening to relaxing, feel-good songs rather than ones that are too bright.
If you’re looking for that kind of track, I recommend Sakanaction’s “Wasurerarenaino” (“Forgettable”).
Its 80s-inspired sound and music video are perfect for unwinding.
The rhythmic melody and drums will lift your spirits and put you in a good mood.

Ultra Sodasōtaisei riron
It’s a song with mysterious lyrics whose meaning you’re never quite sure of, whisper-like vocals, and a gentle, pleasant melody—definitely something that’ll get stuck in your head.
The lyrics have wordplay-like parts that put you in a fun mood.
In particular, many listeners will find themselves captivated by Etsuko Yakushimaru’s languidly cute voice.
Let’s hold handsayaka
This song, sung by Ayaka, is the theme song for a Doraemon movie.
It’s the kind of song that helps you realize who you can turn to when you’re going through tough or sad times.
I especially want people who tend to carry everything on their own to listen to it.
Her voice is very soothing, and it really brings out Ayaka’s strengths.
