Helloyama × bocchiboromaru
This heartwarming collaborative piece by yama and Bocchi Boromaru is filled with courage and hope for taking a step toward the future.
It carries a message of strong determination to move forward and of valuing one’s true self, gently encouraging those heading into new environments.
It has been aired as the opening theme for the TV anime Pokémon since October 2023, and a CD single was released in December 2023.
Its transparent vocals and warm tones blend beautifully, resulting in a song that truly resonates with listeners.
It’s a highly recommended track for anyone feeling anxious about a new life or changing circumstances, or for those striving toward their dreams.
Step and a stepNiziU
The girl group NiziU, whose song “Make you happy” became a worldwide hit, released “Step and a step” in 2020.
When you start a new chapter in life and go to a new school or workplace, doesn’t it sometimes feel like everyone around you is amazing? When you lack confidence, you tend to just go along with others or worry about how people see you.
There may even be moments when you think, “This isn’t how it was supposed to be.” But this song tells you, especially at times like that, “It’s okay to be just the way you are!”
PUSHMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
A single from the era before the “Z” was added to their name.
It’s one of the tracks that supported early Momoiro Clover in their five-member lineup, of course including Ariyasu Momoka.
Perhaps to build momentum, it was often performed near the beginning of their live shows.
Another selling point is the curious sensation that the key seems to change between the A-melody, B-melody, and chorus.
With lyrics evoking national team matches at the Olympics or the World Cup, the song is sure to PUSH your new life forward! Draw power from this Momoclo tune and kick off a great spring.
Time travelsupittsu
This is a cover of Shinji Harada’s song, originally released in April 1978, performed by Spitz and used as the theme song for the drama “My 99 Days with a Star.” The intro features gentle piano tones that transition into a full band sound.
Masamune Kusano’s clear vocals and the overall atmosphere of the track help lift your spirits.
weeeekNEWS
“weeeek,” provided by GReeeeN and released in 2007, is a pep song that continues to be loved by a wide range of people even as time goes by.
The chorus is so catchy that I can’t help but hum along every time I hear it! The harmony between Tegoshi and Masuda is also absolutely fantastic.
When the break ends and the weekdays start up again, this number eases that gloomy, anxious feeling and gets your heart excited with NEWS’s bright vibe.
It’s highly recommended as a power boost for the start of a new chapter in life!
PopNishino Kana
Kana Nishino, who sings many love songs—ranging from achingly bittersweet tunes that squeeze your heart to tracks that make you giddy—enjoys overwhelming support from women of her generation.
Her song “Pa!” is her 30th single, released in 2017.
Even if you don’t fully grasp the meaning, people say things like “Let’s do it with a bang!” or “Let’s just go all out!” It’s often used to pump up the energy—like, “Let’s get hyped!” When you start to feel unsure in a new chapter of life, try listening to it without overthinking.
It’ll give you a boost!
MomentLeina
This is a song written specifically as the CM theme for CalorieMate, depicting high school students devoted to their club activities.
The creator, Leina, is a singer-songwriter who debuted at 14.
Her smoky vocals, which you can hear on this track Moment, are absolutely wonderful! The lyrics portray someone facing themselves while striving toward their goals, and—as the title suggests—cherishing the present moment.
It’s sure to be a source of support not only for high schoolers like in the commercial, but for anyone working hard toward a goal.
