Released in January 2019 and included on the album “Daiku” (Ninth), this number reflects the commercial’s message that things are interesting precisely because they’re different—lyrics many listeners can likely relate to.
When you’re stepping into a new environment or want to cherish the bonds with your friends, listening to this track is sure to give you courage.
LuminousKagami Hayato
A lead single from Hayato Kagami of NIJISANJI’s first mini-album “ULTIMATE CITY,” released in November 2025.
It’s a grand rock number fully produced by Soujirou Oki of Novelbright.
Through the image of a protagonist clutching a blank map and cutting through the darkness, it portrays the strength of will to keep moving forward—believing in a light of hope even amid uncertainty.
Just listening to the soaring, sing-along-ready chorus and the dazzling hybrid sound is enough to set your heart ablaze.
Okie dokieAZKi
A track from AZKi of hololive production, released on her November 2025 EP “Re:Start.” Lyrics by Kisuke and composition/arrangement by Takuya Watanabe, it’s a breezy four-on-the-floor electropop tune.
The lyrics, brimming with excitement for the future, leave a strong impression.
With a danceable beat that makes you want to move, it’s a feel-good number.
Turn this song on and elevate your positive vibes!
Beatnik -Bird-sumika
This work, released in November 2025 by the Kanagawa-born rock band sumika, is an ambitious project that presents a single song in two different guises.
Centered on the theme of “liberation from oppression,” it portrays the concept from two angles: a dance track produced by TAKU INOUE, and a band-driven version featuring Tetsu Kinoshita of Raisan as a guest guitarist.
The former offers pleasing minimal beats and meticulous synth work, while the latter delivers an exhilarating surge with distorted guitars and a dramatic structure.
When you’re ready to break out of your shell, this song might just give you the push you need.

BLADEBLUE ENCOUNT
This track was produced as the opening theme for the TV anime “Shin Samuraden YAIBA.” Its exhilarating, fast-paced rock sound perfectly synchronizes with the theme of “cleaving through darkness with convictions as sharp as a blade.” When you’re feeling lost or anxious, listening to this piece will give you the strength to stay true to your beliefs and the courage to move forward.
It’s a song I want those who wish to hone their inner blade to hear.
DreamerJO1
This song, released in February 2022 as an anthem to support those chasing their dreams, was written as the theme for the omnibus drama Short Program, in which all JO1 members starred.
It’s a medium-tempo ballad filled with encouragement for everyone who refuses to stop moving forward, featuring a dramatic structure where stillness and motion intersect.
The lyrics portray a positive resolve to press on, carrying the light received from someone dear, and the image of continuing step by step despite uncertainty inspires courage.
For JO1, it is also a song that symbolizes the bonds among the members.
Bye by meVaundy
Vaundy, who draws attention for his genre-defying musicianship and unique sensibility.
The song released digitally in April 2020 was his first tie-in work, written as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 25 series “Throw It Away, Adachi-san.” Warm, country-tinged guitar tones pair with lyrics that trace the days of the week as time moves along, carrying a gentle message that affirms the self while singing of a break from the past.
Later included on the album “strobo” and certified Streaming Gold, this track softly nudges you forward when you want to mark an ending or take a new first step.
