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.
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!”

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.
Believe in yourselfAbe Mao
Speaking of cheering songs sung by Mao Abe, this is the one that also became the theme song for the anime Baby Steps.
It’s characterized by a light, anime-like feel and a straightforward melody, along with lyrics that really encourage the listener.
The lyrics convey the message: “Be honest with yourself, push forward, and live without regrets.” If you listen to it when you’re working hard toward a goal you set for yourself but feel like your heart is about to break because things aren’t going well, I think it will give you the strength to regroup and try again.

A soul-stirring song sung by Superfly, who masterfully performs a wide range of genres from pop to rock and soul.
Frequently used in J.League soccer broadcasts and sports news, this track energized many people.
Perhaps many listeners found solace in its powerful, message-driven lyrics.

It’s the signature song by singer-songwriter Mirei Toyama released in 2016, produced by Shota Shimizu.
The cool, R&B-style track pairs perfectly with Toyama’s glossy, supple vocals, creating a strikingly stylish vibe.
The lyrics, which express a firm resolve to “keep challenging myself for my own sake, not for anyone else,” are sure to resonate with anyone striving toward goals they’ve set for themselves.
When you feel like you’re about to stumble or can’t move forward as you hoped, give this song a listen and renew your determination.

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.
