This is “Kore Dake wa,” a 2017 song by WANIMA, a three-piece rock band from Kumamoto.
The lyrics were written by the vocalist, KENTA.
It can be described as a pep song for friends striving toward their goals.
School festivals and cultural festivals, and working together to create something as a group, aren’t always just fun—there can be worries and tough moments too.
But you can feel how wonderful it is to tackle something by joining forces with everyone.
It’s a highly recommended track that encourages you to keep going.

WANIMA’s nationally distributed debut release captivates with an energetic sound and heartfelt lyrics centered on themes of gratitude and farewell! Included on the album “Are You Coming?” released in November 2015, this track powerfully expresses the courage to move forward after parting and the feeling of gratitude toward loved ones, carried by a driving, exhilarating melody.
Its outdoor live-style music video—featuring motocross bikes soaring through the air—also drew attention, and the song has grown into an indispensable staple at WANIMA’s concerts.
It’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that will capture hearts at cultural and school festivals alike.

This is a song by Yuuri featuring an exhilarating, up-tempo rock melody and lyrics filled with hope as two people strive to understand each other.
It powerfully and directly sings of the protagonist’s strong resolve to keep pursuing the path they believe in, while showing empathy toward those they stand opposed to.
A rousing cheer song that gives you a push to chase dreams together with teammates at sports days and athletic festivals, it was released in July 2024 and chosen as the opening theme for Season 7, Cour 2 of the popular anime My Hero Academia.
It’s a track we especially recommend to everyone competing with friends, helping one another, and giving their all toward their goals.
DittoNewJeans68rank/position
NewJeans’ “Ditto” is one of their signature songs, released digitally in December 2022.
The choreography incorporates hip-hop elements and focuses on counts rather than lyrics, so maintaining rhythm that matches the song’s fast counts is crucial.
Every 1×8, movements using downs and isolations to keep the rhythm are repeated, making the choreography easy to memorize.
It’s a recommended track even for beginners, as you can work on it while learning the fundamentals!
