Horse and deerYonezu Kenshi
I don’t think anyone’s ever said, “Year-end cleaning just has to be Kenshi Yonezu,” but when you’re doing things like wiping floors or sweeping and your mouth feels idle, you kind of want songs you can belt out.
Here’s a perfect Kenshi Yonezu ballad for times like that.
The powerful chorus melody will really lift your spirits.

This is a 2014 single by the performance group AAA, chosen as the theme song for the classic shonen anime One Piece.

It even seems like it could boost your cleaning efficiency, and the sense of release when you finish is exactly what “Wake up!” is all about! It’s an upbeat tune that works perfectly as background music and will put you in a fun mood if you sing along.
Definitely try playing it as your cleaning companion.

The lyrics, which evoke memories of youthful romance, might make old memories resurface even during mindless moments like doing a big cleanup.
It’s a cute pop tune with a catchy, invigorating melody that leaves a strong impression.
