Close your eyesHirai Ken

To keep thinking about someone for a long time—that strength becomes the will to live.
The answer to “what am I living for?” may not be within ourselves, but held by someone other than us.
Cherishing people—might that also be a meaning of life?
era; age; time; periodNakajima Miyuki

This is a famous single by Miyuki Nakajima, released in 1975, known to all.
Life has its ups and downs, but this folk ballad sings of the hope that one day our efforts will be rewarded, and it will surely be passed down across generations.
I especially hope anyone who’s stumbled or is feeling stuck will give it a listen.
Tomorrow will surely be a good day.Takahashi Yuu

Released in 2015, this is Yu Takahashi’s 12th single.
Life has its stumbles and times when things don’t go well, but this song fills you with the courage to believe things will work out.
It’s a classic folk-rock track that shines a light into your heart, teaching you that moving forward with hope is what life is about.
Takahashi’s exceptionally bright vocals and the up-tempo beat resonate deeply.

When communication with others doesn’t go well, don’t overthink it.
Living isn’t about focusing only on yourself; its value is determined by how much you can help the other person be happy.
That’s the message you can take from this.
by the wayyuzu

An early Yuzu song, before Natsuiro.
Included on the mini-album Yuzuman.
Lately I haven’t been sleeping well because there’s someone I’m interested in.
If you feel like you’ve lost the meaning of life, it might be because you’re shutting yourself inside your own shell.
Look around you.
There are many people reaching out a hand.
Love, oh loveNatsukawa Rimi

A song that won the Best Vocal Performance at the 46th Japan Record Awards.
It’s for those who keep pushing themselves every day, shoulders squared, carrying many burdens, unable to move forward or back.
I believe there are many such people, and this is a song I’d especially like them to hear.
Unwavering WishTamura Naomi

The opening theme of the anime Magic Knight Rayearth.
I think everyone has a wish they simply can’t compromise on.
Even if you steadily clear each hurdle one by one, there are still times when you get scared and lose your nerve.
Even so, this is a song that makes you want to never lose sight of the map you hold in your heart.
