Here’s a song I especially want high school students who feel like “Someone like me…” to listen to.
It was created in 2019 for a music event called “18-fes,” which brings together 18-year-olds from across the country.
The reason I recommend it is, plainly, the lyrics! I think many people feel weak or insecure about studying, but these lyrics acknowledge and accept those feelings—lack of confidence and negative emotions—and then tell you, “Go do it your way!!” When you’re having a hard time facing your studies, give this song a listen.
spin; weave; compose (e.g., a story)tota
As a boost to help you focus on studying, I highly recommend Tota’s “Tsumugu.” This song captured people’s hearts right after its release, and it resonates with a range of emotions while inspiring motivation.
Immersing yourself in the musical world Tota creates can give you a fresh perspective and foster a positive attitude toward studying.
The emotionally rich melody and clear, translucent vocals will help ease your tension.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
Originally chosen as the theme song for NHK’s coverage of the Athens Olympics, this track has accompanied countless iconic moments by athletes.
Because it celebrates steady, accumulated effort, I think it’s also perfect for boosting your motivation to study.
After all, studying is ultimately a battle with yourself—something you quietly build up little by little, out of the spotlight.
Listening to a song that affirms that unseen effort will lift your spirits and make you think, “I’m going to give it my all again today!”
Go for it!!Urufuruzu
Recommended for those who want to push themselves just a little further.
This is a classic by Ulfuls that continues to give people courage no matter how many years pass.
Even when you’re worn out from studying, listening to this song will definitely make you feel like giving it another go.
The powerful vocals and distinctive singing style will lift your spirits.

Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
If we’re talking about pep songs for high schoolers sprinting through their youth, this one is a must.
It’s a track that has secured its place as a classic cheer song from Sukima Switch.
As the title suggests, it’s all about giving it your all, and when you listen to the lyrics, you can’t help but feel, “I can’t stay still—I’ve got to keep running!” The song itself is also up-tempo and bursting with a refreshing energy, so I think it’s perfect for a quick reset between study sessions!
trigger; impetus; the start; what prompted itNogizaka 46
When you find yourself thinking, “Why do I have to study…?” listening to this song might make you feel a little better.
I’d love for you to take your time reading the lyrics of this song by Nogizaka46 when you’re stuck with your studies.
Maybe the reason you study is simply because everyone around you is studying.
But if you take a good look within yourself, you’ll find your own spark—like moving toward the path you hope to take or expanding your possibilities for the future.
Once you’ve found even one solid reason like that, all that’s left is to move straight ahead without hesitation!
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
This is a famous song by Noriyuki Makihara.
I imagine many people sing it at karaoke, too.
He reportedly came up with the idea for the song on the side of the road while he was in his third year of retaking the university entrance exams.
No matter how tough things get, if you think it’s all so that you can be the one smiling in the end, you’ll feel like you can keep going.
It’s a song I especially want exam-takers to listen to.
