Support your new life and new school term! Our top recommended cheer songs that connect to the future (61–70)
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.
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
In 2018, Aqua Timez disbanded to much regret, and their courage-inspiring song “Ketsui no Asa ni” stands out.
Its lyrics—“Even if your dream looks uncool, move forward the way you believe.
Even if you’re clumsy, even if people laugh at you, as long as you stay true to yourself, you’ll be fine”—are perfect for spring, a season often filled with anxiety.
It’s a song I recommend because just listening to it gives you courage.
This track marked Aqua Timez’s major-label debut, was performed at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and, I believe, has the power to bring listeners’ memories flooding back.
Definitely give it a listen!
AnchorMiura Daichi
Daichi Miura, with his exceptional singing and dancing, is so captivating you can’t help but be drawn in.
His song “Anchor,” released in 2014, was written as the theme song for the drama “Yoru no Sensei.” When starting fresh in a new life or environment, it’s easy to hit walls and feel discouraged.
In those moments, this song doesn’t forcefully cheer you up; instead, it gently stays by your side, listening kindly to your complaints and worries with a reassuring “mm-hmm.” It’s that kind of song.
The BeginningMs. OOJA
Ms.OOJA, whose powerful vocals captivate many, named her first Budokan live concert “Hajimari no Toki” (“A Time of Beginnings”).
The song portrays the courage to face difficulties head-on.
Its empowering lyrics, combined with her voice, will fill you with energy as you listen.
It works perfectly as a cheer song, and also as a tune to celebrate your everyday efforts.
Be sure to also check out the special website where she shares behind-the-scenes stories about creating this song.
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.
Our Starting LineHIPPY
An encouraging song to give you a push toward your new life has arrived from HIPPY.
Co-created with high school students in Hiroshima Prefecture, this piece portrays the passion of youth, the bonds with friends, and the drive to take on new challenges.
With its lively rhythm and powerful melody, it’s sure to resonate with listeners.
Released digitally in August 2024, the song has also been chosen as the official cheer song for the 2025 National High School Comprehensive Athletic Meet.
It’s perfect not only for young people devoted to sports, but also for anyone about to take a new step forward.
Let HIPPY’s warm vocals encourage you, and try enjoying your new life at your own pace.
made-to-orderOmoinotake
This is a warmhearted anthem born from “letters to myself 10 years from now” sent by young people in Shimane Prefecture.
Released in March 2023, Omoinotake’s song was produced to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the NHK Matsue Broadcasting Station.
Its lyrics gently convey that there isn’t only one right answer in life and that it’s important to follow your own path, paired with a catchy, soothing piano melody that leaves a strong impression.
The work is an ambitious creation by the members—who are themselves from Matsue City—made in deep empathy with the feelings of local youth.
A lyric video by Haruka Ibuki has also been released, further enriching the song’s worldview.
It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone feeling anxious about a new environment or preparing to take a step toward the future.
