[Alexandros] – Wataridori (MV)

A signature number by [Alexandros], with a driving melody and piercing high-register vocals that stir the listener’s heart.

It was included on a single released in March 2015 and is also known as the theme song for the film “Ake Garasu (Akegarasu).” The lyrics, which depict striving single-mindedly toward dreams and goals like a bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, really resonate.

When your mock exam results aren’t great or you feel anxious because you can’t see what lies ahead, the song’s positive energy will give you a push forward.

It’s a track I want exam takers to keep as a good-luck charm—something to listen to when you want to believe in yourself and sprint all the way to the finish.

[Alexandros] – Tomorrow, Again (MV)

While their signature song “Wataridori” also carries a message that really hits home, the track “Ashita, Mata” seeps in gently—and it might just let all those pent-up feelings burst out and make you cry.

Released in 2017, it was also featured in a Clorets commercial.

Its appeal lies in lyrics that resonate deeply with people carrying various struggles or emotional wounds—those feeling defeated by their current situation, heartbroken, or troubled by relationships.

It’s a song that slowly spreads through your heart, offering a sense of comfort and reassurance.

[Alexandros] – Philosophy (MV)

Here’s a song I especially want high school students who feel like “Someone like me…” to listen to.

It was created in 2019 for a music event called “18-fes,” which brings together 18-year-olds from across the country.

The reason I recommend it is, plainly, the lyrics! I think many people feel weak or insecure about studying, but these lyrics acknowledge and accept those feelings—lack of confidence and negative emotions—and then tell you, “Go do it your way!!” When you’re having a hard time facing your studies, give this song a listen.

[Alexandros] – Transcend (MV) (Anime “Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray” Season 1 Opening Theme)

It’s a track brimming with powerful energy that feels like breaking through your own limits.

Crafted by [Alexandros], who have delivered countless rock anthems, this song pairs tension and liberation to match the anime’s world, which follows the protagonist’s growth into a “monster,” and it really hits you in the chest.

If you’re feeling anxious in a new environment or need to fire yourself up, listening to it is sure to give you courage.

Why not let this song spark that springtime urge to dash forward?

The lyrics, rich with deep messages—ranging from past pain to hope for the future and dialogues with one’s inner voice—are also perfect for moments like stoking competitive spirit during a tug-of-war at a school sports day! Its driving sound and empowering message strengthen team unity and will surely become a reliable ally when you’re fighting for victory.

[ALEXANDROS] – Pray (MV)

It’s a beautiful song by the rock band [ALEXANDROS], who have won wide popularity not only in live houses and the rock scene but also in living rooms across the country.

You might wonder, “Is this song a cheer song?” But aren’t the families, friends, and managers supporting high school baseball all watching the games with a prayerful heart? I hope our cheers reach the players.

[Alexandros] – Philosophy (18 Sai Mix) (Official Audio)

This is the fourth digital-only single by the four-piece rock band [Alexandros], created for “18-sai,” an event organized by NHK that began in 2016.

Its ensemble—where the delicate tones of the acoustic guitar merge with the fresh chorus of eighteen-year-olds—evokes the vivid scenes of an event charged with passion.

The message that any emotion is part of your true self recalls the struggles of youth, when it’s easy to feel down by comparing yourself to others.

It’s an emotional number that transforms even backward-looking feelings into power.

I tried singing [Alexandros] – Leaving Grapefruits (Cover)

Although it’s a song about parting, it’s not just filled with the loneliness of looking back; it’s a song that makes you want to keep those times as beautiful memories.

Many of [Alexandros]’s songs mix English and Japanese in their lyrics.

The Japanese lines convey the message directly, while the English lines gently wrap around you.
