Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
There are people who charge straight ahead and others who still can’t take the leap—many kinds of people—but I think this could be a song that cheers them all on.
In this chaotic, overflowing world, we sometimes stumble and fall, yet we keep sprinting toward the goals we once raised.
There’s no room for hesitation! This will be a song that gives you a powerful push forward.
He was alive, wasn’t he?aimyon
The rawness of the words jolts you.
It was the debut single by singer-songwriter Aimyon, released in 2016, and it was used as the opening theme for the drama “Is Kichijoji the Only Place You Want to Live?”.
The song begins with spoken lines that are practically a monologue.
It feels as if overflowing emotions have been turned directly into music.
As you listen, you can’t help but wonder, “What kind of person am I?”—a message song that pierces the heart.
homeKiyama Yusaku
While thriving as a singer, vocalist Yusaku Kiyama—who has the unusual profile of being a full-time company employee as his main profession—performed this song on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
His deep, sweet voice matches the refrain in the chorus, making it a tear-jerker.
His background as someone who battles daily as a salaryman surely serves as an encouraging message to others in similar circumstances.
It’s a song we hope will be listened to quietly by all those who fight for someone else every day.
In the Sun and the DustCHAGE and ASKA
Life is often compared to a journey.
Even if you don’t know what lies ahead, you still have to keep moving forward.
There’s no guarantee you’ll gain anything.
This song carries that message.
Its tone is also bright for a Chage and Aska track.
Galaxy Express 999EXILE
This is EXILE’s 2014 cover of a single originally released by Godiego in 1979.
It became a million-selling hit.
The song teaches us that we can’t just remain in ordinary days—living means setting out on a journey to new places.
It’s a track I especially want people who are hesitating to take a new step to hear.
Godiego’s band sound is fantastic, and EXILE’s fresh, electronic sound is great too.
An irreplaceable masterpiece that conveys the meaning of life and the preciousness of existence. A deeply moving cheer song (111–120)
Thank you…KOKIA
Some of you might recognize it because it was used as the BGM for “Nakery 2channel.” In a world where the present rushes by at a dizzying pace, we sometimes get so caught up that we overlook something truly important.
By the time we notice, it might already be out of reach—but there are still things that remain close by.
This is a warm song that helps you rediscover what really matters.
FlowerNaka Kousuke
Singer Kousuke Atari, who began learning shima-uta on his own and won the Effort Award at the Amami Folk Song Grand Prize, has earned high praise for his vocals.
His third single, Hana—selected as the theme song for Satsuma Shuzo’s “Satsuma Shiranami” commercial—was newly written by the duo of Naotaro Moriyama and Omodaka Takashi.
Its message, which tells us that simply being alive is wonderful, is likely to soothe the hearts of those struggling with how others judge them in the world beyond school.
A lyrical number, it wraps the listener in a gentle voice that stays close to the heart.
