Hilcrhyme’s “Hashire” is a song I want to send to every listener who’s setting off with a fresh start, delivering courage and hope.

Right after your environment changes, there may be times when nothing seems to go well.

That’s when I want you to listen to “Tabidachi no Mae ni” (Before the Departure).

This song was written by WANIMA as the theme for a disaster recovery support project.

They took on creating it out of a desire to help people in need.

The lyrics describe everyday life when things don’t go right, yet they still cheer you on.

Give it a listen when things aren’t going smoothly at your new school.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – StaRt

When you’re feeling down, some people boost their spirits by listening to high-energy songs.

One I’d like to recommend is “StaRt.” It’s a track released by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE in 2017.

Set to a fast, rock-leaning melody, the lyrics are powerful and uplifting.

However, the lyrics also weave in phrases that subtly hint at anxiety.

That contrast may be why so many listeners relate to the song.
