We’ve gotta do what seems impossible.Sambomasutā
Sambomaster is a band beloved across generations for their powerful message songs that hit you right in the heart.
Their 14th single, “Dekikkonai wo Yaranakucha,” released in 2010, could be called one of their signature tracks, couldn’t it? It was featured in a car commercial, so I heard it often, and in 2018 it was also used as the theme song for the drama Cheer☆Dan.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling anxious, flustered, or on the verge of giving up.
It’s the kind of song where Sambomaster comes to shake you out of your doubts.

A song I’d highly recommend for this time of year, when you can feel spring arriving, is SCANDAL’s “Masterpiece.” Its powerful rock sound is sure to give a strong push to anyone about to take on challenges in a new environment.
It feels like it’s directly throwing a message to listeners—“Let’s carve out our own path!!”—making it perfect for spring, when new lives begin.
Be sure to listen to “Masterpiece,” which radiates SCANDAL’s momentum and positive energy, and kick off your fresh start!

Official HIGE DANDism is a rock band known for their solid musicianship and vocal prowess.
Their 2020 release Parabola is a song you’ll want to hear if you’re starting to live on your own for school or work.
The snappy rhythm laid down by the bright lead synth is addictive, and the lyrics—depicting someone struggling earnestly despite their anxieties—are moving.
Vocalist Satoshi Fujihara’s clear, crystalline voice adds even more conviction.
How about adding this medium-tempo track to your playlist to support your new life?
Be kind to othersTHE BLUE HEARTS
On the night THE BLUE HEARTS appeared for the first time on Fuji TV’s music show “Yoru no Hit Studio,” fans sat upright, poised in front of their TVs.
I was one of them.
The nervous excitement of not knowing what kind of performance they’d give, and the youthful energy of The Blue Hearts—it all comes back to me like it was yesterday when I close my eyes.
One of their signature songs, “Be Kind to People,” is such a divine track that trying to pigeonhole it as punk or rock feels ridiculous.
This anthem to a wonderful life is something I want everyone who feels crushed by the anxieties of a new beginning to hear.
