Don’t die!kocchi no kento
Kocchino Kento’s “Don’t Die!” is infused with a wish to keep those who long for “death” tethered to this world, even if forcefully.
Kocchino Kento is said to be the real younger brother of actor Masaki Suda.
The sound and lyrics, crafted with his unique sensibility, radiate a one-of-a-kind presence.
The “Tea Jar Dance” that matches the chorus lyrics has also gained popularity.
Even if you’re going through something unbearably painful, I hope you encounter “Don’t Die!” before you do anything rash.
rays of lightB’z
When we were children, many of us thought adults sparkled and could do all sorts of things—how nice that must be.
But once you actually become an adult, the burdens often outweigh the fun, and you can even feel like there’s no light at all.
In this B’z song, there’s a message of hope: if you keep living and moving forward through the same kind of suffering you’re feeling, there will definitely be light somewhere.
The title, “Kōbō,” means a single ray of light.
Listen to this track from the album ACTION and keep chasing the light that’s yours.
dandelionBUMP OF CHICKEN
A country-style song from their first album released in 2002.
The title “Dandelion” refers to the flower.
The song depicts a lonely lion—despite being disliked—who meets a dandelion that resembles himself and, through that encounter, learns to have a gentle heart.
It teaches us about the happiness that can be found by living for someone else.
One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
Ato Hitotsu, the 14th single by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, was released in 2010.
Chosen as the cheer song for that summer’s high school baseball tournament, its lyrics are especially moving for those who play baseball and are giving it their all.
But it’s not just for baseball—this is a song that will resonate deeply with anyone whose heart feels like it’s about to break, or has already snapped.
It’s a cheer song that makes you think, “Maybe I can try a little harder,” or “Maybe I can lift my head and face forward just a bit more.”
far; distant; by farGReeeeN
This song, Haruka by GReeeeN, was the theme song for the hit drama ROOKIES’ movie adaptation, ROOKIES -Graduation-.
Released in 2009, it’s GReeeeN’s 11th single.
When you feel like your spirit is about to break, when you’ve lost confidence and think you can’t go on, why not go back to basics and remember the day you decided to give it your all? I believe this song will help you reconnect with that feeling and return to your original resolve.
Endless JourneyMr.Children
This is the 15th single by Mr.Children—affectionately known as “Misuchiru”—a band so massive in Japan that almost everyone knows them.
The song was used as the theme for the TV drama “Naguru Onna,” and it’s also known as the track that marked their full-fledged return after a year and a half hiatus.
The lyrics encourage listeners by acknowledging that the path toward dreams and goals can be painful and difficult, but assuring that there is always a future beyond what you overcome.
It’s a song that powerfully pushes the backs of those struggling with their current situation and on the verge of breaking.
It gives you the courage to charge ahead on your own terms, not by anyone else’s rules—a work we hope people who need just one more push of courage will listen to.
Beautiful daySUPER BEAVER
There are days when we can’t help but feel lonely, aren’t there? But when we look back, we realize that we’re walking through life supported by many people.
The song that captures this realization is “Beautiful Day.” It was created by the rock band SUPER BEAVER.
Their powerful, fast-paced performance is sure to lift your spirits.
By the way, the song is also featured in the film “The 100th Love with You.” If you check it out together with the movie, you’ll notice a different layer of meaning emerge.
