Ikimono-gakari “Aruite Ikō” Music Video

“Let’s cherish this moment right now.” The feelings woven into the lyrics come through so clearly that my eyes well up.

Released in 2011 as their 21st single, “Aruite Ikou” was featured as the theme song for the drama “Runaway: For the Sake of the One I Love,” among others.

It’s a richly layered ballad; the way the sound arrangement expands, Yoshioka’s vocal work, and their harmony are truly wonderful.

Try singing along, savoring the gentle melody.

Ikimonogakari “Super Thank You” Music Video

A beloved classic that has long served as a national song of gratitude received a surprising update in January 2026, just ahead of the group’s 20th debut anniversary.

This new release reimagines the original track “Arigatou”—familiar as the theme song of the NHK morning drama Gegege no Nyobo—with a cheerful, reggae-inspired sound.

The original production team has reunited, and even the jacket photo has been faithfully recreated—a playful touch that’s hard to resist.

Keeping the warmth of the original intact while adding the light, contemporary groove that only they can bring, the message feels even brighter and more uplifting.

It’s perfect for a New Year’s greeting or for casually expressing gratitude to someone special—give it a listen.

A brisk, refreshing uptempo tune.

It portrays a coming-of-age story about a young person who, while cherishing encounters and bonds with friends, discovers their true self—imbued with the down-to-earth message characteristic of Ikimonogakari.

From March 2024, it has also been used in commercials as the theme song commemorating the 140th anniversary of Asahi Soft Drinks’ Mitsuya Cider, and it was released as a double A-side single together with Harubaru!, the opening theme for the TV anime Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.

It’s the perfect track for karaoke with friends under the summer blue sky, or whenever you want a refreshing change of pace.

It was released in 2013 as Ikimonogakari’s 25th single.

The song was used in a commercial for Calpis “Calpis Water.” It’s a love song that portrays the moment when love begins, the feelings of unrequited love, and the instant two people fall for each other.

The music video depicts, in a musical style, scenes of a high school boy and girl who meet by chance and the development of their romance.

It was released in 2007 as Ikimono-gakari’s sixth single.

The song was used in a commercial for Coca-Cola’s Aquarius Vitamin Guard and was created with the theme of “summer, the sea, and the sun,” aiming to establish a standard summer anthem.

It’s an upbeat track with a summery vibe.

Ikimono-gakari “Nostalgia” Music Video

This is a single by Ikimonogakari released in 2010.

It was a song from their indie days, and although it was re-recorded, some parts like the lyrics have been slightly changed.

I heard Yoshioka said she didn’t want to sing it because she disliked the female protagonist, who’s so wishy-washy and hung up on her ex (lol).
