possibilitySambomasutā

This is a song packed with passionate encouragement for studying.
It’s a work by Sambomaster, included on the album “Sambomaster and You,” released in May 2015.
It was also used as the theme song for the film “Biri Gyaru” (also known as “Flying Colors”), which is based on a true story.
The song carries a powerful message: if you believe in your potential and work hard, your dreams will come true.
Takashi Yamaguchi’s fiery vocals and the intense rock sound are sure to move you—you might even find your body starting to groove.
It’s a must-listen not only for students gearing up to give it their all, but also for anyone feeling lost in life.
C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h.ONE OK ROCK

This is a powerful song that celebrates youthful passion and friendship, included on the album “Zankyō Reference,” released in October 2011.
Within its heavy sound that fuses metalcore and post-hardcore, ONE OK ROCK’s signature refreshing melodies shine through.
It portrays the earnest determination of young people who, carrying the bonds and memories shared with their friends, move forward into the future.
The track was also used as the ending theme for the TV program “To the Top of the Earth: Fumita Kuriki’s New Challenge.” It’s a perfect choice as BGM for school sports days and athletic festivals, resonating deeply with teammates who sweat together and encourage one another.
TelefonLAUSBUB

LAUSBUB is a two-person technopop band whose name, meaning “mischievous kid” in German, suits them perfectly.
Their third self-produced single, Telefon, blends a nostalgic 1980s vibe with a modern approach to striking effect.
Its ensemble, rich in depth and airy floatation, draws you into a surreal world that feels like it resets your mind before studying.
It’s an eccentric track whose inventive arrangement creates an addictive quality.
Philosophy[Alexandros]

Here’s a song I especially want high school students who feel like “Someone like me…” to listen to.
It was created in 2019 for a music event called “18-fes,” which brings together 18-year-olds from across the country.
The reason I recommend it is, plainly, the lyrics! I think many people feel weak or insecure about studying, but these lyrics acknowledge and accept those feelings—lack of confidence and negative emotions—and then tell you, “Go do it your way!!” When you’re having a hard time facing your studies, give this song a listen.
Your allykyarī pamyu pamyu

When you’re studying, it can sometimes feel lonely and tough, right? Many people probably wish they had someone on their side.
If that’s you, listen to this song.
Just feeling that someone is cheering for you can be enough to motivate you.
In conclusion
