If you’re feeling anxious or irritated about your current situation and don’t know what to do, I recommend “Bokurada” by imase.
New employees who’ve just joined a company and anyone still early in their career will especially relate.
The lyrics portray a strong determination to seize a future true to oneself by overcoming things one by one, even though every day feels stifling under so many rules.
If things aren’t going well and every day feels boring, let this song give you hope.
beautiful-nessBiSH
Despite enjoying immense popularity with the catchphrase “a punk band without instruments,” the six-member girl group BiSH has announced they will disband as of June 2023.
Their song “beautiful-sa,” included on their indie second album FAKE METAL JACKET, was chosen as the opening theme for the variety show Tuesday Is Full Throttle! Hanadai-san to Chidori-kun.
Its message—that if time passes whether you’re doing something or not, you might as well move forward—has the power to blow away negative feelings.
With a driving, pop-leaning arrangement and emotive vocals that shake the heart, it’s an emotional upper-tune.

There’s always tomorrowSakamoto Kyu
An immortal classic by Kyu Sakamoto, released in 1963.
The covers by Re:Japan—made up of comedy entertainers—and by Ulfuls are famous too.
It comically portrays someone trying to stay positive day by day, even though they can’t confess their feelings to the person they like.
As vague anxieties about the future deepen and the path ahead remains unclear, the song also carries a wish to brighten and energize Japan, making you want to believe, even just a little, in possibility and hope.
It’s a song whose charm you come to appreciate more with age, with a vibe that makes you want to sing it together—and it’s incredibly uplifting.
