Kibun Jojo↑↑ is perfect for anyone who “just can’t get their energy up no matter what.” It’s a track by the music duo mihimaru GT from 2006.
As the title suggests, it carries a message of “let’s raise the energy.” With disco-style sounds that make heavy use of scratching and an intense rap section, the song is built to get anyone hyped.
It also has easy call-and-response parts, so it’s a great fit when you want to liven things up at karaoke!

It’s very Yuzu-like, with lyrics that gently give you a push and a song overflowing with freshness.
It lifts you up and wraps you in warmth when you’re feeling down or lonely in a new chapter of life.
The slightly faster tempo adds a sense of drive, making it a very easy song to listen to.

This is a song that simply helps us.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to when things aren’t going well or when you’re having a hard time, to lift your spirits.
There are many relatable lyrics, and I think it’s a perfect song for anyone feeling anxious about the future.
Idiots everywhere.wasureranneeyo
It’s a song I want people to hear who have stumbled in their new lives or couldn’t get off to a good start—one that helps you “reset” your mindset.
I think that the anguished cry that the world isn’t paying attention to you can actually make you open up, turn things around, and give you energy instead.
I don’t want to work.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai
A three-piece rock band, Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, who call their style “lifestyle-centered loud rock,” fusing laid-back lyrics about everyday happenings with a modern loud rock sound.
This track appears on their 8th album, “Sorosoro Chuken,” and its lyrics—pure cries from the heart—and the rapidly shifting arrangement are seriously addictive.
When we’re feeling negative, we tend to gravitate toward songs that fire us up, but having your feelings voiced this directly can actually be a great stress reliever for many people.
It’s a rock tune guaranteed to resonate—one we want people suffering from the May blues and feeling unmotivated to hear.
This is insane—the hype is skyrocketing!Dangaryu
As the title suggests, this track from rapper Dengaryu is purely, simply a hype anthem.
The exhilarating rap and lyrics about forgetting your worries and turning up will lift your spirits.
If you’re feeling stuck in a new phase of life, I really want you to hear it—use this song to raise your energy and blow your troubles away.
peace signYonezu Kenshi
A track by Kenshi Yonezu that instantly fires you up from the very beginning! It was used as the opening theme for the anime My Hero Academia, which depicts characters striving to become the greatest heroes.
Even in May, when you tend to feel sluggish and lazy, listening to this song makes you want to pull yourself together and try again, as if you too could become someone’s hero.
Not only the lyrics, but also the driving melody will give you a push forward.
