MAN WITH A MISSION “Emotions” [Theme song for the film “Hentai Kamen”]

A song by MAN WITH A MISSION that I highly recommend when you want to boost your study motivation all at once.

Released as a single in February 2013, it also drew attention as the theme song for the film “HK: Hentai Kamen.” The shift from the majestic strings in the intro to a full-throttle rock sound is powerful enough to blast away any drowsiness.

Its fiery message—urging you to charge forward with your emotions burning even in the darkness—will give a strong push to your back as you sit at your desk.

Especially when you feel like your heart is about to break before an exam, feel the wolves’ emotion and seize the glory of passing!

NICO Touches the Walls - “Clap Your Hands”

NICO Touches the Walls’ irresistibly catchy and upbeat signature song “Te o Tatake.” Even people who don’t know the band might be familiar with this track, right? With its soaring high-tone vocals and bright, exhilarating sound, it’s perfect for scenes like school sports festivals.

The uplifting lyrics are sure to move you, so it’s also highly recommended as background music for competitions.

Chainsaw Man Episode 3 Non-Credit Ending / CHAINSAW MAN #3 Ending | Maximum the Hormone “2-Hundred-Million-Centimeter Blade Length”

Featured as the ending theme and an insert song for episode 3 of Chainsaw Man, this track delivers an intense, tightly packed experience—despite its brief length of roughly 90 seconds—where ferocious shouts collide with exhilarating melodies.

Released as a digital single in October 2022, it was later reused as an insert song in a new version, including previously unreleased sections, for the theatrical film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, which premiered in September 2025.

Why not lend an ear to their uniquely blended sound, marked by a striking contrast between stillness and motion?

Daijiman Brothers - “That’s Important” [High Quality Audio]

There aren’t many songs as positive and pure as Daiji MAN Brothers’ “Sore ga Daiji.” When it was released, it became a huge hit and was loved by people of all ages, from children to the elderly.

The lyrics are so straightforward they’re almost embarrassing, but that’s also the song’s greatest charm.

Kankaku Piero “Dear You, Someday” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO (Theme song for the drama ‘We’re Millennials. Got a Problem?’)

A perfect song for middle school days when friendships deepen has arrived from Kankaku Piero.

Its familiar melody and heartfelt lyrics resonate with listeners and evoke a sense of nostalgia.

Released in May 2016, this track was chosen as the theme song for the NTV Sunday drama “We’re Millennials.

Got a problem?” Centered on the themes of self-actualization and a commitment to justice, it carries a message to one’s future self.

It’s a song that stays close to moments spent with cherished friends and times when you want to express your gratitude.

Why not add it to your playlist and spend some heartwarming time? Through music, you’re sure to feel those moments when irreplaceable friendships grow even deeper.

Ultramarine DaysToukyou Jihen98rank/position

Tokyo Incidents – Ultramarine Weather

This song by Tokyo Jihen, led by Ringo Sheena, is from a band famous for featuring top-tier artists, but it’s actually a perfect piece to cover.

Of course, it’s a challenging song that won’t be mastered easily, but I believe aiming high brings greater impact.

There are plenty of spotlight moments for the vocalist, so practice thoroughly and let’s make an unforgettable, amazing day!
