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.

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!

The song gently conveys how an individual’s happiness is built with the support of many people and the warmth created by a chain of smiles.
The album “Ongaku” also features several tie-in tracks, including the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers 2 and the anthem for the 103rd National High School Rugby Tournament.
It’s the perfect song for cheering on those practicing for sports days and field days, or for reminiscing about the memories of working up a sweat with your friends.

As a companion to help you focus on studying, I highly recommend Tota’s “Tsumugu.” Capturing listeners’ hearts right after its release, this track resonates with a range of emotions and sparks motivation.
