Block B 「HER（Japanese Japanese）」MV Web Edit Version

It’s the Japanese version of a song by a famous Korean boy group.

It’s upbeat and catchy, so it’s easy to remember.

On the way to work I often feel sleepy, tired, and down, but listening to this song blows all those blues away at once!

Selected as the official support song for the Japanese national team at the Sochi Olympics.

It’s a refreshing track with lyrics that boldly declare, “If you had talent, you wouldn’t work hard—so don’t assume you do.” Even so, it makes you feel that no one can replace you, which motivates you to keep going without running away.

The NHK broadcast theme song for the London Olympics and Paralympics.

It’s a bright song that inspires the feeling that, in the place we’re living now, we’re going to build our society from here on out.

I think it’s a masterpiece that naturally makes you feel like trying your best again.

I think everyone tends to lose confidence at some point while working, but Ayaka Hirahara’s vocals, which seem to sing about the importance of believing in yourself, are sure to touch your heart.

The gentle yet empowering lyrics that wrap you up and tell you you’re not alone resonate with everyone, don’t they? In the drama Rikuoh, the song Jupiter was performed by Little Glee Monster.

A track that makes your body start dancing before you know it when you’re feeling like every day at work is the same and there’s nothing to look forward to.

It sings to you that it’s okay to cut loose at least for today, so playing it when you want to indulge yourself a little now and then is sure to lift your spirits.

This is the seventh theme song for the romance variety show “Ainori.” As the title suggests, it’s a refreshing, fast-paced track that sticks in your head after just one listen.

If you play it during your morning commute, you’ll arrive at work feeling refreshed.

In the chorus, each day from Monday to Sunday appears in the lyrics, which makes it very relatable.

Especially when I listen to this song on Monday—the least motivating start of the week—it feels like the week goes by faster.

The song is also up-tempo, so it really lifts my spirits.
