If ISekitori Hana
What sets this song apart is how it sings openly about envy and complaints, and chronicles life with unflinching realism.
Effort doesn’t pay off, the grass next door is always greener… When it’s stated this plainly, it almost feels refreshing, doesn’t it? Still, the song isn’t pushing a negative outlook; it feels like it teaches the strength to accept reality and how to come to terms with it so you can enjoy life.
It’s a track from the 2017 full album Someone Who Looks A Lot Like You.
Starting lineBaba Toshihide
Toshihide Baba, a singer respected by Kobukuro’s Kobuchi, shot to fame when Kobukuro covered “Boys on the Run.” His light, upbeat vocals—distinct from hip-hop rap—are easy to relate to, and from every lyric of “Start Line” you can feel positive energy.
Baba’s powerful yet gentle voice delivers those passionate words straight to our ears and hearts.
Even if you stumble or fail, that point is always a start line.
What you’ve built up is never wasted; failures become the nourishment for success.
It’s a wonderful classic that teaches us exactly that.
Highly recommended for anyone who feels like they’re about to lose heart.
I, weGuiano feat.Kaf
The digital-only single Guiano—active as a singer-songwriter and Vocaloid producer—released in 2023 is “I Am, We Are.” It was written specifically for the smartphone game “Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat.
Hatsune Miku.” Because Guiano began composing after experiencing school refusal, the lyrics about having confidence in oneself and living without fear carry real weight.
Even when school is tough, this song reminds you that the world is bigger than just school.
minimalistHalf time Old
The rock band Half time Old shot to fame and became widely known with the au commercial song “Minna Jiyū da.” Their track “Minimalist” is included on the 2018 album “Sage and Music for Midnight Getaways,” and it was also used as an ending theme on a variety show.
It’s a song we’d like people to hear if they’re feeling frustrated at school or work—like when someone forces their one-sided sense of justice on you, or pressures you to give an answer even though you’re not convinced.
Its fast-paced rock sound will leave you feeling refreshed!
A March for Youchesu maika
It’s a powerful yet warm anthem that delivers hope for the future.
It’s the perfect song for those moments when you want to encourage someone irreplaceable.
Filled with kindness that stands by people in tough situations and respects their own pace, its lyrics—expressing strong trust with lines like “You’ll definitely be okay”—resonate deeply.
The track is included on the album Incomplete, released in July 2019.
With over one million views on YouTube, it has captured many hearts.
When you’re feeling down or on the verge of losing confidence, give this song a listen.
It will surely become a supporter that stays close to your heart.

The Inter-High School Championships were canceled for the first time in history due to the coronavirus.
The song “Suiheisen” (Horizon) was created after receiving a letter from a student who had devoted themselves to the Inter-High.
The lyrics, colored by vocalist Iyori Shimizu’s distinctive words, surely supported students who suddenly lost their stage to shine and were left in uncertainty.
I believe it’s a song that offers support not only to students who couldn’t participate in the Inter-High, but to anyone who feels overwhelmed by a harsh reality.
In conclusion
When you feel life is hard or you’re lonely, music is a precious presence that stays close to your heart.
The songs introduced here carry the feelings of people who, like you, are struggling yet trying to move forward.
Even on difficult nights, these voices will gently support you.
