GREEN APPLE is a three-piece rock band that has won overwhelming support from younger generations with their androgynous high-tone vocals and hook-laden rock sound.

Their seventh digital-only single, “Que Sera Sera,” written as the theme song for the TV drama “Even Just on Sunday Night…,” has a title derived from Spanish meaning “what will be, will be,” which gives it a positive vibe.

If you’ve been putting in the effort, the message of “now let’s enjoy it” is likely to lift the spirits of students pouring their youth into club activities.

It’s a gem of a pop tune whose dazzling ensemble will boost your energy.

Have you ever wondered what you’d be thinking and doing as an adult? When I graduated from junior high, I wrote a letter to my 20-year-old self and put it in a time capsule.

I haven’t become the person I imagined as a child, but I’m enjoying life every day.

Listening to this song makes it fun to imagine and think about the future.

Of course, fans of Johnny’s will love it, but Hey! Say! JUMP’s “Yell for Tomorrow” is also recommended for middle schoolers who aren’t into Johnny’s.

It’s a fight song that helps you face forward with a smile even in tough times.

How about listening to it before a club match, when you want to ace your exams, or when you want to take a positive step in love? Pay attention to the straightforward lyrics that will especially resonate with middle schoolers who have a lot on their minds!
