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.

Aimyon – I Was Alive [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

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.

Relay of LifeNakajima Miyuki

Relay of Life <'04 Yakai Version>

This is a work that deeply stirs the listener’s heart, themed around the grand chain of life.

After being performed in the 2004 stage production Yakai, the song was included on the acclaimed 2005 November release Tensei TEN-SEI.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the New Year’s special on Friday Prestige, A Woman’s Lifetime: Chiaki Mukai—The Woman Who Chased Her Dream into Space.

Even dreams that cannot be fulfilled in a single lifetime are passed on like a baton to the next generation.

That gentle yet stern message really sets the heart aflame.

It’s a profound masterpiece that feels like a quiet push on your back when you reach a crossroads in life.

CHAGE and ASKA – In the Sun and Dust

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.

EXILE / Galaxy Express 999 (Short Ver.)

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.

If I were to die tomorrowKitanitatsuya

If I Die Tomorrow / Tatsuya Kitani – Promise Me / Tatsuya Kitani

It’s a striking song marked by poignant lyrics that capture the emotions and thoughts of someone facing death.

Featured as the first track on the album “ROUNDABOUT,” it showcases Tatsuya Kitani’s delicate sensibilities.

Beginning with the premise “If I were to die tomorrow,” the lyrics gradually shift toward a message of “Let’s cherish today,” a development that deeply moves listeners.

First unveiled on “Tatsuya Kitani’s All Night Nippon 0” on January 3, 2024, the song resonated with many listeners and sparked widespread discussion.

It’s a track I especially recommend to those who, while feeling the fragility of life, want to value each and every day.
