This song, which became NHK’s soccer theme in 2010, is a powerful track that feels like it pushes the players forward.

Work isn’t always easy, and sometimes we have to take on things no one has done before, but this is a song that gives you energy when you listen to it at times like that.

Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO

SHISHAMO “Tomorrow Too”

With lyrics that anyone can relate to—especially new employees who are bewildered by their fresh surroundings or office workers still early in their careers—and a bright, poppy melody that blows away fatigue, it feels like a song that will lift your spirits and make you want to try your best again.

Since it was used in commercials, I think most people have heard the chorus at least once.

Rather than slacking off because you’re worried about the future, it inspires you to give your all today, in every single moment.

Give it a listen when it’s time to push yourself.

Stay Dream

A powerful, gritty, and straightforward anthem that sings of the determination to keep moving forward without giving up.

It’s a song I want people to hear not only for the sake of dreams, but for anyone who has something they want to accomplish even when it’s tough.

It’s said to be an important song that became a turning point for Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi as well.

This is a pep song I want people to listen to when they feel like nothing goes right no matter how hard they try, or like they’re trudging through the mud.

Even when you feel you haven’t grown much since entering the working world, or when you’re in a dark mood, listening to this track seems like it would lift your spirits and help you look forward.

Miyuki Nakajima’s song powerfully sings about how things that once shone quietly fade away unnoticed, and how the spotlight never lands on those who keep working steadily in the background.

It’s a masterpiece every time you hear it.

I think it’s a song that office workers—the very “stars on earth”—can truly relate to.

For me to be myselfOzaki Yutaka

Yutaka Ozaki — For Me to Be Myself

A number that sings about the figure of someone who keeps fighting alone in a cold city.

The slightly edgy lyrics sung by Yutaka Ozaki make it a song that resonates with perfectionists and those who still can’t accept themselves.

There are also many points that people who broke up with a partner due to starting a job can relate to.
