Fragments of a DreamMerofuroto
I thought the lyrics about recklessly chasing your dreams were really great.
When you’re struggling with your path, listening to this song gives you a push to follow the road you believe in, no matter what others say.
Its bright, energetic melody can clear away a clouded heart and make you feel refreshed.
Billion Beatschōtokkyū
I thought it was a refreshing song whose lyrics slip right into your heart.
My younger sister used to listen to it a lot when she was feeling down, and because of that I started listening to it too.
When I listen to this song, my heart feels lighter and I feel like I can keep going.
It’s hard to talk about my worries at school, but listening to this song makes me feel brighter.
Always with youshino
I think this song lets you once again appreciate the friends who have always been by your side and helped you through things.
In junior high, there are so many worries and uncertainties about the future.
At times like that, just having a friend next to you can be a lifesaver.
When you listen to this song, I think it will remind you of those friends and make your heart swell.
A fight song to cheer you onTHE FRANK VOX
A heart-stirring cheer song dedicated to students pouring their hearts into club activities! Sung by THE FRANK VOX, this track gives a powerful push to those facing challenges.
The encouraging words in the lyrics are sure to give listeners courage and hope.
Released as a digital single in August 2024, it was also included on the EP “VOX GIFT 2,” released in September of the same year.
It’s featured as the ending theme for ABC TV’s show “Bukatsu People: Full Power Support! Bukapi!” Give it a listen when you’re on the verge of a setback in your club, or to fire yourself up before a match!
SCHOOL DAYSshiritsu ebisu chūgaku
It’s a song that feels like a springtime gift.
It’s a March 2025 single by Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, with lyrics and composition by Katsuhiko Sugiyama.
The beautiful melody portrays the expectations and anxieties of starting a new chapter, warm friendship, and a resolve toward the future.
The music video—featuring the members in pure white uniforms deepening their bonds in a forest—also leaves a strong impression.
I think it will resonate not only with students, but with anyone who needs the courage to leap into a new environment!
NO MORE CRYD-51
It’s the theme song for the TV drama “Gokusen.” The song “Niji” is also used in this drama, but I think some people feel this one is more strongly associated with Gokusen.
Back then, my friends and I often talked about how we wished there were a teacher like Yankumi!
LIFEkimaguren
“LIFE” is Kimaguren’s signature song.
In the music video, seeing them perform joyfully on a summer beach made me think, “That’s youth.” It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped at karaoke.
It’s a real shame that Kimaguren disbanded in 2015, but “LIFE” will surely continue to be a classic summer song.
