My future self is waving.Mayumura Chiaki
This is a song written by singer-songwriter Chiaki Mayumura, who works as a “singer-songwriter, track-making idol,” for an exam prep school’s motivational movie for test-takers.
The lyrics reflect the voices of students preparing for exams, and they weave in the kind of words Mayumura says she herself would want to hear when she’s feeling lost.
There are times when being compared to others or judged only by scores can feel devastating.
But what truly matters is growing stronger by surpassing who you are now.
Having entered a new environment, this might be your chance to face yourself.
The Beginningayaka
A ballad featured as the first track on the 2012 album “The beginning,” it voices a resolve that coincides with Ayaka’s return to music.
No matter what has happened in the past, a new ‘beginning’ comes to everyone.
I think those lyrics are a perfect match for starting high school with a fresh mindset.
Facing days without the familiar faces from elementary or junior high can be unsettling, right? Ayaka’s vocals will surely support you through moments of doubt and hardship.
Spring Dayaimyon
Created as the theme song for an animated film about a honeymoon, this piece delicately portrays a loving married couple.
The story of two people starting a new life together—recognizing each other’s strengths and weaknesses and deepening their love as a family—delivers a wonderful message that encourages a fresh step forward in life.
With this song released in April 2019, Aimyon gently captures the world of the anime film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane – The Lost Hiroshi.
Memories beginning on a train platform and the feeling of cherishing small everyday joys resonate warmly alongside the gentle melody.
It’s a song we especially recommend to anyone embarking on a new chapter of life.
Even while holding anxieties about the future, it gives you the courage to move forward one step at a time—why not listen to it together with someone special as an uplifting anthem?
DAY×DAYBLUE ENCOUNT
It’s one of BLUE ENCOUNT’s signature songs and served as an opening theme for the anime Gintama.
Especially popular among young people, its fast-paced rock sound cheers you on with the message: “Live today in your own way.” It’s a recommended entrance song for new students who may be feeling anxious or restless.
Yosutakyarī pamyu pamyu
This song was released in 2017 as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s 14th single.
Its title is a play on words combining “Easter” and “ii start” (a good start).
The lyrics are incredibly uplifting, so if you listen to it right before the entrance ceremony, it’s sure to fill you with hope for your new school life.
It was used as the CM song for AEON’s “Let’s start EASTER party!”
