Daphne (winter daphne)DISH//
A song by DISH//, co-written by vocalist Takumi Kitamura and Hattori, the singer-guitarist of Macaroni Empitsu.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “The Winner in February: The Classroom of Guaranteed Success,” it carries a marching motif that evokes moving forward toward a brilliant future.
While depicting a message to oneself to push on through hardship, it also conveys a veiled gratitude toward the singer’s mother, who has always been a source of support in such times.
RealizeMelody.
It’s a bright, uplifting song.
While it carries the softness and lightness of a woman’s touch, the lyrics firmly give you a push forward.
It’s a song that not only moves you, but also lifts your spirits when you’re stuck and helps you take that first step.
Map of the FutureMi
It’s a song I suddenly feel like listening to in early spring (around May).
Originally, it was popular during graduation season, but I find myself remembering it amid the scent of spring and the warmth as we head from spring into summer.
Despite its bright melody, it’s a mysterious song that moves me to tears when I listen to it.
Reasonless new daysSOPHIA
It’s a song that became the theme for the High School Soccer Championship.
With its powerful push and strong vocals, it’s not only moving but also a song that gives you the courage to take a step forward.
It might be nice to shed some tears as you remember your youth.
A bouquet of flowers with loveSuperfly
This song, often heard in various scenes like weddings and graduations, is a must as a moving, heartfelt track.
Just like its title, “A Bouquet with All My Love,” it’s perfect for expressing gratitude, and it lets you feel many kinds of love—romantic, friendship, family—big, encompassing love.
It’s the kind of song that, when you’re feeling a bit worn out by everything, gently warms you from the bottom of your heart.
It’s also a song you’d quietly gift to someone growing tired of their new life.
Everything will become my strengthkuzu
Kuzu is a song duo by Hiroyuki Miyasako and Tomomitsu Yamaguchi, a parody of the group Yuzu.
Though they were born out of a comedy show, both members have such strong vocals that it was hard to believe comedy was their main profession, and every song they released at the time became a hit—even an album was released.
Their song “Subete ga Boku no Chikara ni Naru” (“Everything Becomes My Strength”) was, of course, a major hit as well.
It’s an empowering track with bold, straightforward lyrics, and each line sinks deeply into your heart—an inspiring, moving song.

Their song “At the End of Sorrow,” released as a single in 1996, is one of their signature tracks and is beloved not only by fans but by many listeners.
It’s a classic that brings the audience together and gets everyone fired up at concerts and festivals.
When you take a close look at the lyrics, it’s actually a very simple song.
That very simplicity, however, hits you hard—it’s a moving, passionate song.
It feels like an anthem for life, a track that can truly support your heart.
