This is the song that gives me courage when I’m feeling down or low on energy.

Its powerful message—life only happens once, so let’s laugh, cry, and move forward with everything we’ve got; let’s walk our own path without being bound by rules made by someone else—rings in the heart over a bright rock sound.

Released in March 2012, it’s also well known as the theme song for the drama Lucky Seven starring Jun Matsumoto.

With first-week sales of 550,000 copies, it’s a classic that has energized many people.

It’s a song written specifically as the theme for the drama Orange Days.

It’s a gentle ballad, and at first listen it doesn’t really come across as a happy song.

It’s about the small “signs” you find in everyday life—easy to miss, but definitely there—quietly showing you that happiness exists.

A truly charming track.

Carrying HappinessMrs. GREEN APPLE

This song was newly written for the Disney Resort’s summer event.

Released in July 2025, it was also selected as the BGM for the in-park attraction “Baymax’s Happy Ride.” It’s reportedly the first time a Japanese artist’s song has been featured in a park attraction.

With its bright, open melody and poppy arrangement, this refreshing number sets the scene for a special summer.

It topped Billboard JAPAN’s Download Songs chart for the week.

Its hi-fi sound, brimming with happiness, is perfect for when you want to have fun or lift your mood.

It’s a track guaranteed to hype up summer drives and get-togethers with friends.

A pop tune packed with the sparkle of youth that sings of a fresh, hope-filled feeling.

Motoki Omori’s transparent, clear vocals gently embrace the small joys hidden in everyday life.

Released in April 2024 as the opening theme for the anime “Oblivion Battery,” this work won the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards and adopts the guitar-rock style that is the origin of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

While facing daily anxieties and loneliness, it sings of the strength to accept them and move forward.

It’s the perfect song for moments when you feel like you’re losing yourself or when you want to bask in memories with someone special.

Many famous artists have covered it, but the original is the cutest and most pop.

Since it’s a Kyu Sakamoto song, it might feel a bit old, but it’s uplifting and makes you happy.

I think it’s a song that conveys comfort in everything—the lyrics, the melody, and the voice.

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.
