[Cheering Songs for Life] Encouraging Anthems to Send Support to You Who Are Doing Your Best (41–50)
Kitearashi
A song filled with the wish that your dreams will soar ever upward like a kite.
It became a hot topic as the ultimate collaboration: Kenshi Yonezu created it as NHK’s 2020 song, and Arashi performed it! True to its title, “Kite,” the string arrangement has a refreshing feel, like the wind carrying a kite high into the sky.
In the lyrics, rather than cheering you on with a forceful “Do your best!!,” the key point is that it offers gentle encouragement—more like “We’re wishing for our dreams to come true”—tenderly standing by your determination.
Happinessarashi
Arashi’s signature song “Happiness” gives you the courage to move forward.
It’s one of their representative tracks and a fan favorite! Its bright, lively groove and catchy melody make you feel positive just by listening.
What I especially want you to notice this time are the chorus lyrics.
When you hit a wall while working toward your goals or go through something tough, they remind you that it’s important to keep running while picturing the moment you reach your goal.
Listening to this song makes you feel confident to keep moving ahead!
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
A gem of a rock ballad that sings of overcoming everyday nihilism and loneliness, and of hope for the future.
The protagonist, walking alone through the darkness, reexamines their path under the moonlight and prepares to take a new step forward—a quietly moving scene.
The lyrics, infused with feelings of alienation in the city and longing for someone dear, resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in July 1997 as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Night is Bright with the Moon,” this work became one of Elephant Kashimashi’s signature songs.
When you feel lost in life, when someone comes to mind, when you need the courage to move forward—Hiroji Miyamoto’s soulful voice will stay close to your heart and gently give you strength.
rootKing Gnu
This gem of a mid-tempo ballad sings of the resolve and kindness to live like a “root”—a modest presence that supports someone dear.
Carried by beautiful harmonies of piano and strings, King Gnu’s signature modern rhythmic feel intertwines with choral lines reminiscent of a children’s song, resulting in a track that resonates deeply.
Written as the theme song for the TBS Sunday drama “Diamond Sleeping in the Sea,” airing from October 2024, the piece brims with profound understanding and empathy for those who steadily persevere.
When you feel on the verge of losing your way, or when you wish to be someone’s support, this song will gently stay by your side.
Ukiyo CrossingUVERworld
This is UVERworld’s ninth single, which was used as the theme song for the drama “Hataraki Man.” Its highly motivational lyrics, encouraging self-acceptance just as you are, and its catchy melody energize listeners.
It’s a cheer-up song I’d recommend when you’re feeling unsure of yourself.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
It’s Noriyuki Makihara’s third single and his biggest hit.
This song made him suddenly famous.
When you’ve lost sight of yourself in relationships or everyday life, listening to it is encouraging.
It’s a masterpiece among masterpieces that makes you feel like living true to yourself no matter how old you are.
FlowerNaka Kousuke
It’s a song that quietly stays close to the hearts of those who are hurt and gently tells them that simply being alive is wonderful.
The grand sound incorporating strings and Takashi Nakagawa’s uniquely resonant voice create a compelling sense that speaks directly to the heart.
The focus isn’t only on the beauty of flowers; it also clearly portrays the strength of rooting yourself in the earth and living with resilience.
While tenderly accompanying the heart, it straightforwardly delivers the power to stay true to yourself and take a step forward.
