IdeaHoshino Gen
A singer-songwriter who has earned high acclaim not only as a musician but also as an actor, Gen Hoshino’s first digital single.
Written specifically as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Half, Blue,” the track weaves together multiple styles—band arrangement, dance number driven by programming, and even solo acoustic—yet stands cohesively as a single song.
Carrying a message of pressing on without flinching in the face of trials or obstacles that life may bring, it’s a song that inspires courage—one you’d want children to hear when they’re feeling stuck in their studies or club activities.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
Yuzu are big stars now, but in the beginning they performed live on the streets.
Their 21st single, “Eikou no Kakehashi” (“Bridge of Glory”), is a song I want you to listen to when you feel like your heart is about to break.
When things are painful no matter how hard you try, this song cheers you on, telling you that there’s light beyond the suffering.
That’s why it’s great to play before a club match or any time you want everyone to overcome a hurdle together—it turns past hardships into strength and boosts your motivation.
If you ever need the strength to keep going, please give it a listen.
ultramarineYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s fifth single “Gunjou,” which shot them to fame after they formed in 2019.
Every YOASOBI song hits the heart right on target, but this one in particular feels straightforward and saving.
I work hard at studying and club activities because I have to, of course.
But when life is full of things I’m supposed to do, I don’t have the courage or confidence to do what I love and want to do.
In those moments, this song lifts my motivation from the soul, telling me from the bottom of my heart to go do what I love and want to do.
It’s a highly recommended track.
Hello SignalsAdo
This is a hope-filled song woven by Ado’s vocals.
Released in December 2023, it drew attention as a tie-in track for a SoftBank commercial.
Through the “window” of a smartphone, it conveys the anticipation and joy of discovering a new world, expressed with an exhilarating sound.
The refreshing band arrangement is truly uplifting.
It’s the perfect song for anyone taking a new step forward—and it’s sure to energize the hearts of children.
One moreFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
This is the 14th single by the music duo FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, who announced their return as a two-member unit in March 2021.
The song was used as the support anthem for the 92nd National High School Baseball Championship and has been featured as the theme song in many baseball-related contexts.
Its catchy melody and gentle tone make it a number that really touches the heart.
With a message that if you keep working hard, the day will come when your efforts are rewarded, it’s a song you’d want children who are giving their all in club activities to hear.
Let’s give it a tryWANIMA
WANIMA is a band from Kumamoto with lots of songs that instantly fill you with motivation as you listen.
Their song “Yatte Miyou” is, as expected, super positive, and it really makes you feel like giving things a try.
Sometimes, without overthinking and without fearing failure, it cheers you on to challenge yourself and try—so much so that you realize there’s no point in letting anxiety drag you into negative thoughts.
That’s why it’s a song I want you to listen to when you’re scared of the future and can’t push yourself.
It’s an inspiring recommendation that gives you the courage to move forward and shows you the view that awaits beyond overcoming your fear of failure.
