AdventureYOASOBI99rank/position
Set off on an adventure filled with extraordinary excitement and joy! This song overflows with a fresh smile and a sense of anticipation.
It portrays a special day spent with friends at an amusement park, etched into the heart as a happy memory.
Released in February 2023 as the theme song for USJ’s “Uni Haru!” campaign, the track captures, with YOASOBI’s uniquely vibrant sensibility, the image of young people breaking free from the constraints of daily life and reveling in new experiences.
It’s a perfect song for cultural and school festivals—those precious days that leave a lasting mark on many students’ hearts.
My First KissHi-STANDARD100rank/position
Hi-STANDARD is a rock band that can arguably be credited with shaping Japan’s melodic hardcore scene.
“My First Kiss,” included on their second single “Love Is A Battlefield,” is an English-lyric cover of “Hajimete no Chuu,” known as the opening theme of the TV anime Kiteretsu Daihyakka.
While each part is generally played in a standard style, the intro guitar riff may be a bit challenging for beginners, so keep practicing.
Since it’s a famous song that almost everyone has heard at least once, it’s also a great pick for school festivals.
