Letter ~Dear Fifteen-Year-Old Me~Anjura Aki
It’s also a classic graduation song.
It’s one of singer-songwriter Angela Aki’s signature tracks, released in 2008 as her eighth single.
It was originally written as the set piece for the NHK National School Music Contest, junior high division.
The lyrics—an answer to a letter sent by her 15-year-old self—are truly beautiful.
It’s a heartwarming masterpiece ballad that feels like it stays by your side when you’re feeling down or going through tough times.
Light of Miracles ~Believing in Miracles~Dream
This is a song whose lyrics were written by EXILE’s ATSUSHI for Dream.
I believe it’s a song that only Dream—who struggled for many years without a breakthrough, yet persevered and climbed to the top—can truly sing.
If you have a dream you can’t give up or you’re working hard toward something, this will be the perfect anthem to cheer you on, so please give it a listen!
presentSEKAI NO OWARI
SEKAI NO OWARI’s “Present” conveys the message that no one is truly alone.
When you’re giving it your all, there are times you might feel lonely.
Listening to this song in those moments will surely lift that loneliness and help you keep going.
It’s a well-loved classic that’s even sung in middle school chorus competitions.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
When it comes to national cheer-up songs, Yuzu’s classic “Eikō no Kakehashi” stands out.
The more you listen, the more you’re captivated by the depth of its lyrics.
By considering it from different perspectives, you can feel many layers of meaning, making it a song that will support you time and again in difficult moments.
It would also be wonderful to gift this song from you to anyone striving day by day.
Hallelujahmosao.
From a breezy intro that feels like a fresh wind, this is a healing song for the heart.
Written and performed by the singer-songwriter Mosao., it’s a track from the 2022 album “Koi no Uta” and was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Piece of Cake.” This song feels like it takes the hand of someone who’s feeling lonely and leads them into the light, and just listening to it gives you energy.
It works great as your own personal fight song, and if you give it to a friend or family member who’s feeling down, they’ll surely appreciate it.
DoodleMrs. GREEN APPLE
Since kicking off Phase 2 in 2022, the three-piece rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE has released numerous buzzworthy hits.
“Doodle,” included on their fifth album ANTENNA, was chosen as the song for Kao’s ‘Merit’ commercial.
Its lyrics, which seem to affirm living life with all you’ve got, are filled with positive messages that ease worries in both work and private life.
With a brisk, summer-tinged ensemble that lifts your spirits, it’s a high-velocity rock tune brimming with a sense of speed.
LaughterOfisharu Higedan Dism
This song by the hugely popular band Official HIGE DANDism is sure to feel like a wonderful, empowering cheer song for anyone trying to take on a challenge! It’s a slow-tempo, ballad-style track brimming with their charm, paired with uplifting lyrics.
The words tell the story of a bird named Raughter who breaks out of the shell that once kept it from taking the first step and begins a new challenge.
Listening to this song will give you the courage to take that first step, just like Raughter, who faces any hardship head-on!
