YAMABIKONakamura Emi
NakamuraEmi is a singer-songwriter whose appeal lies in her realistic lyrics—shaped by her past work experience and a distinctly female perspective—that resonate strongly with many women.
Musically, she draws from a wide range of influences, including hip-hop and reggae, and her tracks that incorporate rap, like this one, are especially compelling.
This song, one of her signature pieces, carries a powerful message: “Keep moving forward without comparing yourself to others!!” Coupled with lively, driving vocal work, it’s the kind of track that stirs your fighting spirit the more you listen.
Silent majorityKeyakizaka46
It’s one of Keyakizaka46’s signature songs, showcasing the cool vibe that characterizes much of their music.
The melody isn’t exactly easy to sing, but it’s oddly catchy and has an addictive quality that lingers in your head after just one listen.
The title “Silent Majority” refers to the large group that stays quiet, and the lyrics argue that simply going along with those around you isn’t a good thing.
I’d especially recommend it to anyone who’s striving toward a goal but finds themselves hesitating because they’re worried about what others think.
TalentSabasusutā
The Morinaga Seika “in Jelly” commercial tie-in song released in September 2025 is a cheer anthem for high school students dedicated to their club activities.
This track is an up-tempo tune that blends a sense of speed with freshness, and during the commercial shoot—where Sabishista actually visited high schools across Japan—it was powerful enough to move students to tears.
It captures the daily grind of persevering with hidden aspirations and the courage to take a step forward by believing in your own potential.
The lyrics convey an awakening to the talent that everyone possesses, and Nachi herself has said, “Everyone truly has it.” The song is a pre-release single from the album “Takaga Punk Rock!” coming out in October 2025.
It’s recommended as a song that stands by you in the days you strive toward club activities and goals, and as a track that gives you a push when you feel like giving up.
Just being alive is admirable.ReoNa
Sung by ReoNa, a singer who has worked on numerous anime songs, this track is one you’ll want to listen to when something bad happens and your spirits sink.
It was released in 2021 and is included on the single “Nai Nai.” The colloquial lyrics depict the unpleasant things happening around you and the current state of feeling so down that you’re at a loss over what to do.
Even if not entirely, many people will likely relate to these lyrics.
There isn’t a straightforward message of encouragement in the words, but by the time you listen to the end, you may feel as though your worries and dark feelings have been acknowledged and accepted.
At dawn again today, with cherry blossoms dancingCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This song, which was also chosen as the theme for the anime Gintama., is one of the more well-known tracks by CHiCO with HoneyWorks.
It’s an up-tempo, guitar-driven rock tune that feels uplifting as you listen.
In particular, CHiCO’s irresistibly bright vocals are likely to feel very pleasant to many listeners.
Reading the lyrics brings back feelings for friends who are far away and gives you the push to think, “I’ve got to do my best too!”
