My NoteSukima Suichi
It’s the theme song for the 2006 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Dinosaur 2006.
The theme centers on a notebook filled with many thoughts from one’s childhood.
We realize that making childhood dreams come true becomes difficult once we grow up.
Even so, the notebook where you honestly wrote down your feelings will give the adult you a gentle push forward.
That’s what the song says!

loveHoshino Gen
It’s a popular song known as the theme for the hugely successful drama “We Married as a Job!” (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).
The singer, Gen Hoshino, is active not only as an artist but also widely as an actor and more.
It’s a very upbeat ballad, so it’s a song that lifts your spirits when you’re feeling down.
Youth Woooahhh!!Janīzu WEST
It’s an incredibly, incredibly upbeat song that makes you feel energized without even trying.
Johnny’s WEST really does lift everyone’s spirits—I truly believe that.
The Paripipo tour that kicked off with this song was super exciting, wasn’t it?!
Rolling starYUI
This is YUI’s seventh single, promoted with the tagline: “An absolutely upbeat rock ’n’ roll number!! YUI’s first cheer song!!” Just like the tagline says, it’s an up-tempo, encouraging anthem that gives you a powerful push forward.
tear(s)Ketsumeishi
As we grow up, we show our emotions less and less, and we tend to forget how to cry.
In fact, being an adult often makes us believe that shedding tears is somehow a bad thing.
But tears heal and embrace our wounded hearts—this song tells us it’s okay to cry.
Listen to this track by Ketsumeishi, or other music, watch a movie or a drama, and when things are tough, let your tears flow and cleanse yourself.
I’ll walk home.Saitō Kazuyoshi
This is Kazuyoshi Saito’s fourth single, released in 1994.
Since it was used as the opening theme for Ponkikies, many people have probably heard it.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it casually sings, “Why not relax your shoulders a bit more?”—a feel-good, uplifting song.
My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS
It’s the theme song from the film ‘Your Name.’ The way RADWIMPS vocalist Yojiro Noda sings and the rhythm of the song are very distinctive, and before you know it, you find yourself listening to it on repeat.
If you listen to it after watching the movie, you’ll likely come away with impressions that are a bit different from those you had before seeing it.
