For Dream Chasers! Songs About Dreams and Anthems to Help You Achieve Them (61–70)
dreamHikakin & Seikin
This is the fourth single by Hikakin, the most famous Japanese YouTuber, and his older brother Seikin, who is also a YouTuber.
The lyrics and composition are by Seikin, and both the words and the tone of the song convey a positive outlook on pursuing dreams—something only these two, who have achieved success by staying true to what they love, can express.
It’s a masterpiece that lets you rediscover a different side of them from their playful on-screen personas: their identities as musicians and their multifaceted talents.
Far, far awayMakihara Noriyuki
This song, one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature tracks, is popular not only as a cheer-up anthem but also as a graduation and farewell song.
If you take time to read the lyrics, you’ll see that the protagonist appears to be someone who has left their hometown and is working hard in Tokyo to pursue their dreams.
I’m sure many working adults can relate to that situation.
For those people, when work gets tough, listening to this song will bring to mind the faces of loved ones back home—friends and family—and help them reset with a “One more push!” It’s a highly recommended track to keep you going.
Call My Namechōtokkyū
Bullet Train is a boys group made up of actors and TV personalities.
Their song Call My Name is the theme for the drama We Inherited a Host Club.
It’s a catchy pop dance track that sings about the passion and excitement of chasing your dreams.
With a dynamic rap section where the mic is passed from member to member, it’s a compelling listen.
Their sharp choreography is another highlight, so be sure to check out the music video.
At The LastSKY-HI
An anthem that dares to affirm often-scoffed-at “dreams” and “ideals” head-on, stirring the hearts of its listeners.
Released by SKY-HI in June 2025, it’s a lead single from the album “Success Is The Best Revenge” set for release the same year.
It was chosen as the theme song for the audition program “THE LAST PIECE,” produced by BMSG and TBS.
A pep song for young people chasing their dreams, it rides an aggressive sound to sing of laughing off any adversity and holding fast to one’s convictions.
It’s perfect to listen to when you’re facing a big challenge or need to believe in yourself!
DepartureGReeeeN
GReeeeN has a lot of uplifting songs that give you a push, right? This track, “Tabidachi” (Departure), was released in 2008 as their sixth single.
For those striving toward their dreams and goals, I’m sure “now” feels important—and for many, it might be the only thing they can see.
How about taking a little breather to remember your old friends, someone you used to love, or the version of yourself from when you first found that dream? If you listen to this song, I’m sure some faces will come to mind.
And then, keep moving forward—good luck!
