Future ProjectionDREAMS COME TRUE
A classic love song.
It might be quite old, but both the lyrics and the melody are easy for middle schoolers to understand, and it makes your heart ache—in a way that feels just right for this age.
It’s a masterpiece I especially want middle schoolers, who are in that phase of wanting to act more grown-up, to listen to.
broom star (comet)Mr.Children
It’s a gentle love song about the patience and effort needed for two people to spend their everyday lives peacefully, while supporting each other.
By the time you’re in middle school, you probably listen to Mr.
Children quite a bit, don’t you? It’s easy to listen to, so I recommend it.
Head-over-heels in loveKis-my-ft2
Among Kis-My-Ft2’s songs, I think this one is quite a masterpiece—a love song.
It’s a somewhat bittersweet love song, and it’s interesting how even middle schoolers can get completely absorbed in it.
It’s one of those Kis-My-Ft2 tracks that makes you want to keep listening, and it’s popular with middle schoolers too.

Needless to say, when you think of Kobukuro, it’s this song.
Every word carries conviction—beautiful, and somehow tinged with sadness.
Yet by the time you finish listening, you’re left feeling remarkably refreshed.
Perhaps this song possesses a kind of magic like that.
Winter fallL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
It’s a beautiful song, no matter what.
Just listening to it makes me feel as if snow might fall onto my palm at any moment.
Each line of the lyrics is delicate, yet somehow brimming with vitality and strength.
If you think of winter as nothing more than a cold season, please give this song a listen.
I’m sure it will change the way you see winter.

A hidden gem by Ayumi Hamasaki! You can feel the freshness of her early debut days, yet her diva presence still shines through in this song.
