A classic Japanese song about life. A track that gives you energy.

I think anyone who’s alive carries worries and anxieties at times.

When you find yourself standing still like that, I’d like to introduce songs that give you hope and energy to live.

Many artists sing their own thoughts on what “life” is through their music.

I’d be happy if you can find even one song that feels right for you and helps you see life in a positive light.

Music and songs can become a source of support for your heart, so please read through to the end!
