When you’re dieting alone in your room, it can get tough and make you feel like giving up, right? This is the song that will cheer you on with all its might in those moments.

When you feel like, “I want to quit, I can’t take this anymore,” give it a listen.

It’s intense rock, but the lyrics are so gentle that you can’t help but respond, “Yeah, I’ll keep going!”

TOKIO’s powerful vocals shine against a weighty song that’s so characteristic of Miyuki Nakajima.

I’d love for you to listen to this track while doing some solid, power-style stretching.

Even when it’s painful and tough, the more you work for it, the closer you can get to the self you want to be… A surge of strength rises—You’ll never lose!

Just like the title says, it really lifts your spirits.

Move your body to the cute, fun vocals, and you’re sure to enjoy exercising like doing aerobics.

Joyfulikimonogakari

One of Ikimono-gakari’s signature songs, it’s an explosively upbeat pop track.

Its tempo makes it easy to groove to—so much so that it’s featured in many rhythm games.

When you’re starting to feel tired but want to pump yourself up with an “Alright, one more round!”, listening to it will keep you moving and having fun.

Trash—everything will become my strength!

A duo formed on the comedy show Wannai R&R, consisting of comedian Tomomitsu Yamaguchi and Hiroyuki Miyasako of the duo Ameagari Kesshitai.

That said, it’s a very earnest and excellent song.

Even when you face unpleasant or painful experiences, depending on your own mindset they’ll never be meaningless… I think it helps you stay positive even when you feel like giving up.

Give it some guts!!Urufuruzu

When you’re running low on energy and thinking, “Maybe that’s enough for today,” sing this song and give it one more push.

It’s a feel-good, disco-inspired, up-tempo yet straightforward cheer song that makes you grit your teeth and move on to what’s next.
