It’s a brand-new track, just released in June 2024! Packed with Sasanomarii’s childhood memories, it’s a deeply nostalgic piece.
In a way, it’s autobiographical—expressing a longing to draw through music.
With a rich sound that incorporates elements of electronica and club music, just listening to it warms your heart.
It’s a song I especially want people who cherish their own dreams and aspirations to hear.
It’s sure to resonate with you.
OneSnow Man
An emotional ballad that resonates with those who chase their dreams.
Within its gentle melody lies fierce determination and a deep yearning for those dreams, offering the courage to keep moving forward in the face of setbacks and hardships.
Included on Snow Man’s fourth album, “RAYS,” this song was released in October 2024 and also serves as the ending theme for the popular anime “BLUE LOCK VS.
U-20 JAPAN.” The format in which the nine members sing in succession is striking, and the track perfectly matches the anime’s world.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to keep fighting toward their goals.
At any timeMakihara Noriyuki
This is the third single by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara, who has produced numerous hit songs not only with his own works but also with songs he’s written for others.
Chosen as the theme song for the film “No Problem at All on the Employment Front,” it’s an uplifting number with a bright, refreshing tone carried by a lively piano sound and optimistic lyrics.
Its message—be yourself and stay true to your feelings in every stage of life—has the power to sweep away doubt and anxiety.
It’s a song that gives strength to pursue your dreams and goals, and one that dream-chasers in particular should hear.

Released on March 7, 2007.
A perfect song for the graduation season, reminiscent of Angela Aki’s signature choral style.
According to her, it’s a song that entrusts her feelings about the days spent chasing her dream of becoming a musician—while experiencing repeated setbacks—to the cherry blossoms along the Potomac River.
Dream Deliverynaniwa danshi
Before their CD debut, Naniwa Danshi performed this support song as both the “Summer High School Baseball Support Song” for the 103rd National High School Baseball Championship and the theme song for “Nettou Koshien.” Its uplifting lyrics, which convey a powerful message—You’re not alone; we’re always cheering for you—are truly comforting.
We are where we are now because we had teammates striving alongside us.
And even when we’re apart, we can keep doing our best.
It would be wonderful if we could all share those feelings and take a new step forward with a smile.
No.1UVERworld
This is the 17th single by UVERworld, a six-member rock band that has won a loyal following with lyrics that shake the heart and a sound that’s complex yet catchy.
Its intricate structure—shifting from a heavy shuffle beat in the first verse to a suddenly exhilarating, fast-paced beat in the chorus—evokes the twists, turns, and ups and downs of the path toward one’s dreams.
The message that “being able to say what you want to do and to voice your dreams without embarrassment is No.
1,” delivered with absolute confidence and conviction in their own path, is sure to give unparalleled courage to anyone chasing a dream.
It’s a powerful rock tune that makes you feel your convictions aren’t wrong.
