good omenREOL
If you want to kick off your study session by cranking up the energy with a lively track, this song is for you! Reol’s music often blends an electro dance vibe with an uplifting feel, and this track is no exception.
While the sound gets you hyped, the lyrics—filled with hope for the future and the belief that your past efforts will shape who you become—are truly encouraging.
It’s a highly recommended song that boosts your motivation with its catchy groove and supportive message.
YELL ~Yell~Kobukuro
This is a perfectly synchronized cheer song by the duo who won the Japan Record Award.
The melody and lyrics, sprinkled with messages that move many hearts, are perfect for rekindling your motivation to study.
A masterpiece by Kobukuro, Japan’s leading acoustic duo!
FightNakajima Miyuki
This song, included on the 1983 album Yokan, was later released again as a single.
The lyrics of the first verse incorporate content from a submission to a radio program.
The song was created as an anthem to encourage those who fight against the absurdity and unfairness of the world, inspired by a letter sent in 1982 to All Night Nippon by a listener using the pen name “Watashi datte kōkō ikitakatta” (“I wanted to go to high school too”).
Sakura, Bloom!arashi
As a recommended song for high school students working hard every day to prepare for entrance exams, you can’t leave out this one by the hugely popular Johnny’s group Arashi.
Many exam-takers are studying diligently to achieve the paths they’ve set their sights on by the cherry blossom season in spring, and the lyrics of this song are packed with words that can really support your heart at times like that.
On top of that, the refreshing melody is memorable, and listening to this track might help you relax and focus on your studies.
Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s biggest hit song.
Its upbeat guitar rock is perfect for when you want to focus on something.
You can’t really study when you’re feeling down, right? So lift your spirits and give it a try.
Sense of Wondersumika
As a song to cheer on high school students studying, I recommend this track by sumika, which was also used in a Shinken Zemi commercial.
Especially when you’re preparing for entrance exams, your motivation can drop and you might lose confidence.
But when you listen to the lyrics of this song at times like that, it really helps you feel positive again! That’s because it carries the message that “the possibilities of the future are limitless, and whether you can expand those possibilities is up to you.” I think it’ll give you the strength to start running toward your goals once more!
Have a wonderful weekend!Kitanitatsuya
Tatsuya Kitani is a singer-songwriter who’s also active as a Vocaloid producer and bassist, and that multifaceted persona has contributed to his popularity.
The track “Have a Wonderful Weekend!” from his second EP, “Aono Sumika,” drew attention for its music video, which hints at the double meaning of the title.
Its ensemble—featuring crisp guitar cutting and a striking bassline—might just boost your energy before studying.
It’s a refreshing number marked by the contrast between its driving melody and mysterious lyrics.
