everlasting lampPEOPLE 1
This song gently wraps the feelings of young people who live by the small light in their hearts.
Released by PEOPLE 1 in July 2020, it features a comfortable jazz- and funk-infused groove and lyrics brimming with vivid metaphors.
By skillfully weaving together contrasting motifs—heaven and school, God and convenience stores, talent and a swing—it portrays the struggles and hopes of youth living in the present day.
The pop-styled animated video by animator coalowl surpassed 1.4 million views within just two weeks of its release.
It’s a song that quietly gives a push to those who carry heavy burdens in their hearts yet still try to keep moving forward.
SpecialSUPER BEAVER
This song powerfully yet warmly expresses the importance of the “ordinary” and the “taken-for-granted” that we often overlook in everyday life.
With a unique sense of wording, it articulates the growing joy of acting for someone else, weaving together moving lines about the beauty of human connection that we come to appreciate more with age.
Included on the album “Tokyo,” the track pairs SUPER BEAVER’s signature passionate rock sound with lyrics that evoke deep empathy in listeners.
Released in February 2022, it continued to captivate audiences throughout that year’s live tour.
It’s a song to listen to when you want to feel the value of peaceful daily life or renew your gratitude for the people around you.
DiamondBUMP OF CHICKEN
Although it’s considered one of the less commercially successful songs released after their major-label debut, it has garnered steadfast support for its powerful message.
For those who are doing their best but not seeing results, I’d love for you to listen and reignite your inner strength.
The lyrics are excellent as well, likening one’s irreplaceable existence to a precious diamond.
If you struggle with self-affirmation and catch yourself thinking, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not,” this is a must-listen!
A Chronicle of Struggles with SortingBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song is a track included on the 2010 album COSMONAUT.
If you’re not the kind of BUMP fan who listens through entire albums, you might not be too familiar with it, but it’s a gem that really conveys Motoo Fujiwara’s distinctive touch! In the lyrics, a once-cherished dream is compared to trash, and the song depicts facing that dream again.
A dream that felt big to you might be ridiculed by others, and if you keep chasing it, people around you may say all sorts of things.
However, listening to this song will surely make you reaffirm: no matter what others say, keep chasing your own dream forever!
FanfareBentham
A warm yet powerful cheer song by Bentham, one of the rising young bands that made their major debut this year.
It’s a track that gives you a push when you’re feeling anxious about a new environment, like the start of a new school term.
The phrase “You’re not alone” resonates with an uneasy heart.

In 2007, MICRO established his own label, Primary Color Recordz, and fully embarked on his career as a solo artist.
This work is a song that instills deep courage in listeners and empowers them to move forward.
If you’re about to take on a challenge, lend an ear to this energetic anthem that will give you a powerful push.
