Self-esteem skyrocketing, lovey-dovey songHatsuboshi Gakuen
At First Star Academy, an idol training school where students gather to become top idols, one of its characters, Kotone Fujita—voiced by Hikaru Iida—performs this song, whose high-energy sound leaves a powerful impact.
The way she keeps saying “I love it” to cheer herself up when her self-esteem dips is incredibly cute! Even listeners who are feeling down will find themselves perking up along with her.
It’s an adorably uplifting anthem you’ll want to hear when you’re trying to learn to love yourself.
Myself ROCKONE OK ROCK
It carries a soul-stirring, fiery message: don’t lie to yourself—charge down the path you believe in.
The lyrics, which plainly remind us that the protagonist of life is none other than ourselves, really resonate in the heart.
Energetic guitar riffs and driving drums seem to bolster that determination.
This work was released in April 2010 as a TSUTAYA-exclusive rental single, ahead of the acclaimed album “Niche Syndrome.” It’s a powerful rock tune that gives a strong push to anyone who needs courage to face a towering wall or feels on the verge of losing their sense of self.
Roller Coaster RomanceKinKi Kids
Have you ever wanted to relive that heart-pounding excitement from the very moment a romance begins? “Jet Coaster Romance” by KinKi Kids is a refreshing youth anthem that likens love’s ups and downs to a roller coaster.
Released in April 1998 as their third single, it was also featured in ANA’s Okinawa campaign commercial.
Its popularity was tremendous, achieving the remarkable feat of three consecutive million-selling singles since their debut.
Play it on a summer trip or drive, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!
Hourly Wage Up-Up SongYuuyami ni izanai shi shikkoku no tenshi-tachi
This is a song by Yuuyami ni Izayoi Shi Shikkoku no Tenshi-tachi, originally created as a campaign song for the job listing service “Baitoru.” It feels like those casual chats with coworkers—like, “If my hourly wage goes up, I could buy that!”—have been turned straight into music, and the humor-filled worldview is irresistible.
Channeling the honest hopes shared by everyone who works into a loud but somehow pop-tinged sound, this track grabs listeners by the heart.
First included on the mini-album “Shichiseikatsu” released in July 2022, it was later re-recorded for the best-of album “10th Anniversary: Yuuyami ni Izayoi Shi Shikkoku no Tenshi-tachi,” making it one of their signature songs.
Listen to it on your way home after a tiring shift, and you might just feel the energy to take on tomorrow!
Free Space Remix feat. FORK, Pochomkin & Machiura PinkGadoro
This powerful track from Miyazaki-born rapper GADORO is a reimagining of his own song with a star-studded lineup of guest features.
Included on the album “HOME,” released in July 2025, the track’s music video dropped the following August.
The unconventional collaboration—welcoming the esteemed FORK and Potchomkin, along with comedian Machiura Pink—became a major talking point.
Over a high-velocity beat, shape-shifting flows collide and spark, guaranteed to get your body moving.
Life’s journeyMisora Hibari
The songstress Hibari Misora, who left behind many masterpieces.
In addition to enka, she worked across a wide range of genres, from kayōkyoku to even jazz.
In this “Jinsei Ichiro,” while firmly retaining the essence of enka, the overall melody is crafted to be closer to a catchy kayōkyoku number.
Although it features many fine kobushi (melismatic turns), if you master the hiccup-style vocal technique, the kobushi remain within a range that can be reproduced without issue.
So if you have a certain understanding of enka, you should be able to sing it smoothly.
Jack In The BoxSnow Man
It’s a track packed with the same unpredictable thrill you get when opening a jack-in-the-box.
Performed by Snow Man, this dance number is included on the single “SERIOUS,” released in July 2025.
The sound is comical yet somehow tinged with a dark atmosphere—an irresistible balance that keeps you coming back.
Why not give it a listen when you want a little jolt in your day or when you’re getting together with friends and want to boost the mood?
