Stand by Methe peggies51rank/position

When it’s tough to keep pushing on your own, I recommend “Stand by Me” by the peggies! Released in 2019, this song was written as the ending theme for the anime Sarazanmai.

Even in individual sports, as long as you’re part of a club, you’re not alone—it’s as if everyone in the club is fighting alongside you.

This track makes you feel that it’s okay not to shoulder everything by yourself, to open up about your struggles sometimes, and to keep going while encouraging one another.

This is a song by the peggies, released in August 2020, that expresses a bittersweet crush and a slight sense of distance as if in an equation.

The intertwining of longing and anxiety for a destined person is brilliantly conveyed through an upbeat pop-rock sound and clear, airy vocals.

The track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rent-A-Girlfriend” and reached No.

34 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

This love song, which celebrates the wonder of falling for someone, is a comforting tune not only for those in love but also for anyone hoping for a wonderful encounter ahead.

to shake; to sway; to waverHump Back54rank/position

You just can’t get enough of those solid, punchy drums, the weighty bassline, and the strummed guitar.

It’s a track by Hump Back, a rock band from Osaka Prefecture, included on their second mini-album “hanamuke,” released in 2017.

The lyrics, themed around the end of summer, mesh perfectly with the alternative vibe, creating a heady sense of intoxication.

Maybe it’s the title, but it makes you want to gently sway your body from side to side.

Like magicSHISHAMO55rank/position

A gentle pop cheer song by SHISHAMO that sings about a girl who polishes herself up every morning and tries to face forward.

It captures an exquisite balance between a positive mindset and a faint touch of wistfulness, riding on a bright, buoyant melody and rhythm to portray those true-to-life feelings—wanting to be recognized by someone while still valuing your own uniqueness.

Featured on the album “SHISHAMO 4,” released in February 2017, and also known as the theme song for the Townwork commercial, this track prompts us to reflect anew on femininity and self-affirmation.

It’s a song we hope you’ll listen to if you’ve been pushing yourself too hard on your own.

I thought about killing myselfamazarashi

“I Thought About Dying” is a song created for Mika Nakashima by Hiromu Akita, the vocalist of the rock band amazarashi.

It was released as a single by Nakashima in 2013, and in 2016 amazarashi included a self-cover version on their mini-album “Kyomubyo” (Nihilism).

Although the title and parts of the lyrics use striking, intense words, the song conveys not only negative meanings but also a sense of hope.

If you’re at rock bottom and find it hard to listen to overly cheerful motivational songs, please give “I Thought About Dying” a listen.

A heart-pounding SHISHAMO track that kicks off with a thrilling, fast-paced intro.

Released in January 2024, it was featured as the theme song for BOAT RACE 2024 commercials.

The song carries a message that anyone can shine.

Asako Miyazaki’s powerful vocals and the irresistibly catchy melody will have your body moving before you know it! It gives you the courage to believe in yourself and charge forward.

Perfect for running or jogging, and if you play it on your morning commute to work or school, it’ll help you start the day on a positive note.

Packed with everything that makes SHISHAMO great, it’s highly recommended not only for longtime fans but also for first-time listeners!

The new song released in July 2024 is a powerful track that captures the hearts of heavy metal fans.

With English lyrics themed around freedom and liberation, it resonates with listeners both in Japan and abroad.

Since their major debut in 2017, LOVEBITES have released numerous albums and singles, earning high acclaim overseas as well.

Their win at the UK’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in 2018, in particular, proved their prowess.

This release takes a step toward new territory while preserving the essence of heavy metal.

Featuring dynamic performances and commanding vocals, it’s highly recommended not only for metal enthusiasts but also for anyone seeking fresh sounds.

ColorfulSHISHAMO59rank/position

SHISHAMO is a girls’ band that continues to draw popularity with their catchy musical style.

Their bright tunes always energize the scene.

Among their works, the one I especially recommend is Colorful.

While it stands out for its brightness, it’s not a song with an especially wide vocal range.

On top of that, the pitch movement is relatively gentle, so if you can hold pitch normally, aiming for a high score at karaoke isn’t just a dream.

Be sure to check it out.

I’ll call your name.rakkuraifu60rank/position

I'll call your name.rakkuraifu

This is a heartwarming song that gently sings about the importance of human connection.

Crafted in May 2016 by Luck Life, a four-piece rock band from Osaka, the story brims with the comfort found in calling someone by name and the joy of mutually recognizing each other’s presence.

With a melodious sound and carefully chosen words, the piece reaches out to accompany our everyday lives.

It was also selected as the ending theme for the anime “Bungo Stray Dogs,” resonating with many listeners.

A gem of a medium-tempo ballad, it’s the kind of song you’ll want to hear while thinking of someone dear.
