For those whose spirits are broken and who are feeling down, I recommend “Don’t Die!” This is a work by Kentsu, the singer and younger brother of Masaki Suda.
The lyrics are crafted to encourage people who are on the verge of losing the will to live, using powerful words.
At the same time, the sound has a jazzy, pop vibe, which keeps it from feeling too heavy—that’s part of its charm.
Pay attention to the words thrown at you at the end as you listen.
It’s sure to help you feel more positive.
I look up as I walkSakamoto Kyu
It’s one of the defining songs of the Showa-era pop genre, and it became a huge hit not only in Japan but also in the United States.
The famous story goes that, for some reason, its overseas title was “Sukiyaki” (lol).
I’ve heard it’s still often covered and impersonated abroad.
The reason for walking with one’s head held high is truly wonderful, and when you listen, it simply fills you with the feeling that you’ve got to do your best—a masterpiece among masterpieces.

We set off on distant journeys to grow, and at times return to where we began.

In the English lyrics, it carries the message that setting out isn’t the end and that someday we’ll meet again.
