In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
As one of Aqua Timez’s signature songs, this is a track I recommend to anyone feeling worn out by the new school and fiscal year that starts in April.
It’s arranged as a gentle ballad, with vocalist Futoshi’s clear, pure voice resonating softly—so much so that it seeps into your heart even when you’re emotionally drained.
The lyrics convey the message, “It’s okay to be yourself just as you are,” making it perfect for a season when we tend to tense up and get tired.
Listening to this song will remind you to relax and just be your true, down-to-earth self.
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.
At the End of SorrowElefanto Kashimashi
Elephant Kashimashi is highly popular with both men and women.
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.
to MotherYUI
This is a song by YUI, a singer-songwriter from Fukuoka Prefecture.
It was released in 2016 as her 10th single.
The piano has a gentle tone that softly embraces YUI’s clear, straightforward vocals and melody.
The lyrics convey feelings from a child’s perspective—“I’m at odds with my mother, but she’s someone precious to me”—that make you want to say, “I know exactly how that feels.” If you’re going through days filled with constant arguments with your mom, this will surely resonate.
It’s a perfect number for May, when Mother’s Day comes around.
