Rough MakerBUMP OF CHICKEN
This song, Rough Maker, was included as the B-side to BUMP OF CHICKEN’s major-label debut single Diamond, released in 2000.
“Rough Maker” refers to someone or something that creates smiles.
The song comically portrays an exchange in which a “rough maker” arrives to a downcast heart and, while toying with it, still gives it solid energy—making it smile in spite of itself.
It sounds like a dialogue between two people, but it’s all happening inside the heart.
May this song be the spark that lifts your spirits when you’re feeling low.
Don’t give upZARD
This is a classic hit by ZARD that has long been popular as a cheer song.
It’s also a staple BGM at school sports days.
I’m sure there are people who have lived their lives with this song in their hearts, giving it their all.
The warm vocals embrace those painful moments when you feel like you want to disappear.
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.
So, you are not alone.Little Glee Monster

After being selected as the ending theme for the anime “My Hero Academia,” it reached No.
3 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
The music video, filmed at Universal Studios Japan, has racked up 12 million views.
The lyrics, which sing about getting back up and overcoming challenges no matter how many times you fail, give courage to those who are struggling right now.
Keep trying again and again, and this time, let’s make your dream come true!
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.
Where the soul belongsmakaroni enpitsu
When you feel so overwhelmed you want to run away, even confiding in someone can become exhausting.
For anyone feeling that way, I recommend Macaroni Empitsu’s “Tama-shii no Ibasho” (“A Place for the Soul”).
Released as a single in 2022, it was also featured in a Nissan SAKURA commercial.
Being told to “hang in there” can be painful and even add pressure, right? This song gently offers full acceptance—at first it sounds like it’s presenting blunt, correct logic, but then it turns around and says, “That’s not it, is it?” and stands by your side.
