Rouge's Message – Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) (Full)

This song regained attention after being used in the Miyazaki anime Kiki’s Delivery Service.

Set to a slightly nostalgic melody, it portrays a woman’s heart and a cute little comeback.

The moderately up-tempo rhythm really lifts your spirits!

This is a famous song by Kyu Sakamoto covered by Re:Japan.

It’s included on the album “look up to the sky ~Asu ga Aru Sa~.” The song, which unfolds to a boogie rhythm with the refrain “Today might be a bust, but there’s always tomorrow,” is sure to lift your spirits.

TRAIN-TRAINTHE BLUE HEARTS

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS 'TRAIN-TRAIN' [3rd Single (1988/11/23)] THE BLUE HEARTS / TRAIN-TRAIN

TRIN-TRIN starts abruptly with no intro, charging in and filling you with energy! Many people have surely been encouraged by vocalist Hiroto Kōmoto’s powerful voice.

Sing along—TRIN TRIN! And let’s give it our all today, and tomorrow too.

Morning Musume 12th: There Is Love in the Vast Universe

It’s a somewhat calm song, but it’s a track by Morning Musume that lifts your spirits.

I hear the recording uses live instruments.

From Morning Musume’s vocals, together with the positive lyrics, you can feel a strong, empowering energy in the song.

My happiness is mine to decide!kohanaramu

Kohanarun “I decide my own happiness!” Drama Paravi ‘Mentaru Tsuyome Bijou Shirakawa-san’ Opening Theme

Kohanaramu, a singer who made her major debut in 2021 and is also popular as a YouTuber.

Her sixth digital-only single, “Watashi no Shiawase wa Watashi ga Kimeru no!” (“I Decide My Own Happiness!”), used as the opening theme for the TV drama Miss Shirokawa with the Strong Mind, also drew attention for being produced by the creator unit HoneyWorks.

Rather than comparing oneself to others, the style of mutually acknowledging each other while not abandoning one’s individuality conveys the strength and composure of an independent woman.

It’s a positive pop tune with a breezy beat and an adorable vocal that feels delightful.

[Momoiro Clover Z MV] Farewell, My Beloved Sorrows / Momoiro Clover Z (MOMOIRO CLOVER Z / Saraba Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachiyo)

Uncharacteristic of Momoclo? No—very Momoclo: the rock number “Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimitachi yo.” It was released as a TV drama theme song, and since guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei provided the composition, both the intro and the interlude make for a truly compelling listen!

These days, Yasuhira Otomo’s face as an actor has become familiar in living rooms across the country.

I fondly remember how powerfully he used to sing “ff.” Many people in their 40s and 50s probably pumped their fists and sang along to the chorus, and were encouraged by this song.
