GREEN APPLE is the perfect companion for the complex emotions of moving day.
It blends a refreshing, wind-on-the-road feeling with a grand, expansive sound, giving you the sense that the view before you opens up the moment you listen.
Released in January 2026, the song was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.” As a track heralding a new phase for the band, its pre-release live stream drew about 200,000 viewers and generated major buzz.

Listen when you’re tired from preparing for a new life, or when you want to feel the excitement of meeting new friends in the days ahead.
You’ll find the courage to take that first step—and feel the fresh breeze of spring.
Spring DayNEW!aimyon
Rather than fiery cheers, I want a gentle warmth that quietly thinks about the future.
Here’s a classic by Aimyon that I recommend for you.
Released in April 2019, this song was written as the theme for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane – The Lost Hiroshi.” Set against the scene where Hiroshi Nohara is said to have proposed to Misae, the lyrics brimming with love for family are truly moving.
It’s the season of moving, when excitement and anxiety mix together.
Instead of simply telling you to look forward, this song offers a kindness that holds both the past and the future dear—and that’s a real comfort.
If you’re feeling a bit tense about life in a new place, relax your shoulders and let this song’s message reach you.
It’s okayNEW!wacci
When your heart is overwhelmed with worries about a new chapter in life, sometimes a single word can save you.
This work by wacci is a warm, gently seeping anthem of encouragement themed around those magical words.
The down-to-earth message woven by vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi softly stays close to those who push themselves too hard, loosening the taut strings of their hearts.
Released as a single in August 2015, it also became widely known as the theme song for the TBS drama “37.5°C no Namida” (37.5°C Tears).
On nights when you feel worn out from unpacking after a move or suddenly feel lonely, lend your ear to this gentle melody.
FanfareNEW!Tamaki Kōji
This is an empowering anthem that gives a strong push to the mixed feelings of hope and anxiety when leaving your hometown for a new place.
Koji Tamaki’s overwhelming vocals ride a driving, exhilarating melody that resonates in the heart.
Created by overlaying memories of his childhood in Hokkaido and the image of a horse growing up with the course of life, this work was released as a single in November 2025 and was written as the theme song for the TBS Sunday drama “The Royal Family.” Its message—striving to live for what’s precious, even while getting hurt at times—is perfect for the start of a new chapter.
It’s a song I want those about to leap into the unknown to hear.
ChangeNEW!ONE OK ROCK
Life in a new room is exciting, but it also comes with its share of anxiety, doesn’t it? That’s exactly when I want you to listen to this ONE OK ROCK track.
It’s packed with a strong will to push forward without staying put or fearing change, and it gives listeners a firm push on the back.
The arrangement is refreshingly fast-paced too, blending their signature intense rock sound with electronic elements.
Many of you probably remember it from TV as Honda’s commercial song “Go, Vantage Point.” released as a digital single in February 2018.
It’s a pep song that gives you courage when you feel like stopping, telling you that “change is evolution.”
At all times.NEW!Makihara Noriyuki
An anthem that reminds you of the importance of being yourself when you feel like you’re losing who you are.
The lyrics, which encourage you to walk the path you believe in without being trapped by others’ gazes, gently push you forward as you dive into a new environment.
