Give it some guts!!Urufuruzu
When it comes to power songs, this is the one: the national cheer anthem “Guts da ze!!”.
Released in 1995 as Ulfuls’ ninth single, it’s been loved by people of all ages for many years.
Its danceable beat alone lifts your spirits just by listening! Even when you’re weighed down by work or love troubles, the repeated “Guts da ze!!” gives you a huge boost of courage.

Our TomorrowElefanto Kashimashi
The 34th single by The Elephant Kashimashi, released in 2007.
“Oretachi no Ashita” marked their first release after moving from Toshiba-EMI to Universal Music.
The band themselves were taking a new step forward, and that background comes through in the song’s powerful energy.
The thick, fiery tone of vocalist Hiroji Miyamoto’s opening lines—an impression that defines the track—hits you straight in the heart.
With lyrics that feel like a source of strength to live through tomorrow, the song seems to say, “Let’s keep going together!!,” staying close to your feelings, and by the end you’ll strangely find yourself filled with new strength.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
I especially recommend Yuzu’s song “Eikou no Kakehashi” (“Bridge of Glory”) to people striving toward their dreams or working hard in sports.
Released in 2004 as Yuzu’s 21st single, it’s well known for being NHK’s official theme song for the Athens Olympics.
You hear it in many settings, but I hope you’ll take the time to really listen to it again.
It’s a number that gently resonates not only with athletes but also with hearts that are feeling down, and it inspires you to start giving your best again tomorrow.

Flash GirlToukyou Jihen
Sparkling Girl is a song that fills you with heart-pounding excitement from the very first line.
It’s a single by Tokyo Incidents (Tokyo Jihen) released in 2007.
Many people may have heard it back then when it was used in a commercial.
The shimmering electronic elements, as if expressing light through sound, make it a joy to listen to.
Lyrics like “give everything you’ve got in this very moment” really resonate with anyone giving their all.
It’s a song that makes you think, “Forget about tomorrow—let’s pour everything into today, into this very moment!”
You can do it!Nakajima Miyuki
With a powerful voice and distinctive singing style that you can recognize at first listen, singer-songwriter Miyuki Nakajima has garnered support from a wide range of listeners.
This song was released as a double A-side single together with “Between the Sky and You,” which became a huge hit as a TV drama theme.
It’s a number that conjures images of struggling against unreasonable customs and the grind of everyday life.
The message—don’t worry about others’ gazes or treatment; just follow the path you believe in—carries both strength and gentleness that stand by you when you feel close to breaking.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear when you need a boost, one that gives you the energy to try again.
SUNHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino’s eighth single, “SUN,” released in 2015.
From the very first notes, it evokes waking up to a bright, sunny morning.
It’s a song I hope you’ll listen to when you just can’t get motivated or feel unable to look on the bright side.
Everyone feels good on a clear, sunny day, right? Of course it’s perfect for days like that, but it might be just as nice to play when the weather’s not great and your spirits are low.
Give it a listen on your commute to work or school, or on mornings when you need a boost.
full swingNEWS
Released in 2012, “Chankapāna” is NEWS’s 14th single and one of their signature songs.
Its coupling track is this song, “Full Swing.” “Full swing” refers to swinging a bat with all your might in sports like baseball.
The song embodies the desire to go all in and give your absolute best toward your goals and efforts.
It’s a track we hope you’ll listen to when you’re on the verge of giving up or feeling broken by someone’s ridicule—one that can give you the strength to face forward again.
