It’s an encouraging anthem for those who are striving, likening passion for what you love to a flame.
I want to be kinder.Saitō Kazuyoshi
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, born in 1966, has produced numerous hit songs since his debut in 1993.
His single “Yasashiku Naritai,” released on November 2, 2011, was also used as the theme song for the Nippon TV drama “I’m Mita, Your Housekeeper,” and is regarded as one of his most highly acclaimed works.
Beautifully voicing the balance between the strength and kindness the heart seeks, the song speaks of deep love for oneself and others, as well as a positive outlook on life.
Filled with a message that resonates at any time, it is especially uplifting when you feel close to breaking or want to do your best for someone else, giving you extra courage and energy.
Saito’s warm vocals gently accompany the listener and empower them to live strongly.
crowShonan no Kaze
This is “Karasu,” a life-affirming song full of Shonan no Kaze’s trademark masculinity, friendship, and bonds.
That slightly over-the-top heat is exactly what makes Shonan no Kaze great.
In the public eye, crows are generally seen as pests—shunned birds—and the song overlays that image onto oneself within society, portraying an outlaw of a man.
If you had a friend who thought of you like this, it’d be incredibly reassuring—and that alone would keep you going.
About meMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a song that lets you accept painful events and troubled days and keep looking forward.
Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s warm cheer song, “Boku no Koto.” While their music ranges from crisp guitar rock to stylish, upbeat tracks that make full use of electronic sounds, this one is a slow-tempo ballad.
As the title suggests, every good and bad event is part of you.
When you look back someday, you’ll surely feel that it’s precisely because of those experiences that you are where you are now.
It gives you the courage to accept even adversity and push straight ahead.
Go for it!Nakajima Miyuki
A signature anthem by Miyuki Nakajima.
It was released in 1983 and then re-released ten years later along with “Between the Sky and You.” The song shines a light on the hardship of living in an unkind society.
It sings of the struggle and frustration that everyone is likely to experience.
There have always been people who look down from the top, but it gives you a push to keep going without being defeated by the eyes of others.
Believe in yourselfAbe Mao
This is “Believe In Yourself,” released in 2014 by the powerful singer-songwriter Mao Abe.
It was used as the theme song for the anime Baby Steps.
Mao Abe’s bright singing voice is uplifting no matter when you listen to it! It’s a song that can be both strict and scolding, yet also gently encouraging.
New EraAdo
This is a song written by Yasutaka Nakata as the theme for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED.
Unlike the provocative vibe of “Usseewa,” the track that put Ado on the map, its calmer sound—through which a sense of hope for the future shines—gives you the courage to take a step forward.
“Throw away what you don’t need and repaint the future!” Empowered by Ado’s strong vocals, the message will give a hearty push to your back if you’re feeling anxious or troubled about what lies ahead.
