There are times when, upon noticing our own weakness and fragility, we can’t help but avert our eyes.

Centered on that kind of soul-searching that comes with a pang in the chest, this piece was written and composed by singer-songwriter Chippoke Ohashi.

It was released in January 2026 in conjunction with the scenario of the game “Gakuen Idolmaster.” The development—shedding your past self, taking the hand of someone precious, and sprinting toward the future—captures a true page of youth.

Temari Tsukimura’s emotional vocals are sure to ignite the heart that longs to change.

A CD release is scheduled for April 2026, so taking the time to savor it is highly recommended.

If you listen when you want to change your current situation and take a step forward, it’s guaranteed to fill you with courage!

It’s a tie-in track for the game “Gakuen Idolmaster,” set at an idol training school, released in November 2024 and sung by Minami Juo-boshi.

“Aurora” was released in March 2025 as a song performed by Liliya Katsuragi of Hatsuboshi Academy.

Written and composed by Ryosuke Shigenaga, the track pairs an up-tempo rock sound with a clear, airy vocal that really hits home.

The lyrics, which convey a strong resolve to “reach out and grasp the hope shining in the night sky,” are another highlight.

This song will give a push to anyone striving toward their dreams—be sure to add it to your playlist!

If you’re looking for a rush that makes you want to burst into a sprint and a melody you just can’t get out of your head, we recommend this track written and composed by Nayutan Seijin! It’s a hugely popular number released in May 2024 as the solo song for Ririya Katsuragi from the game “Gakuen Idolmaster.” The lyrics, which shoot straight toward the sky even while carrying anxiety, and the catchy, bouncy beat are guaranteed to have you humming along after just one listen.

Another charm point is the production that lets you feel an idol’s real growth—such as including a deliberately unpolished vocal version in the game.

It also made waves when it was released as a single CD in August 2024.

I believe it’s a song that gives courage to everyone taking their first step toward their dreams.
