Ikimono-gakari’s songs are popular among athletes, and many of them listen before competitions.

One track I recommend from Ikimono-gakari is “Ashita no Sora.” It’s upbeat and overwhelmingly positive, so I think it can help calm pre-game nerves and keep excessive excitement in check.

Listening to this song makes it feel like you can play just as you always do.

This is Ikimono-gakari’s 34th single, released in September 2023.

Produced as the 20th-anniversary song for the Pretty Cure series, it is used as the opening theme for NHK E-TV’s “Kibou no Chikara: Otona Precure ’23.” It’s an up-tempo number filled with a refreshing energy throughout, and the vocal melody is very pop, easy to sing, and easy to remember.

With this song, aiming for a high score at karaoke might not be just a dream.

Since it’s such a bright track, try singing by resonating your voice against the roof of your mouth.

You’ll likely be able to sing with a bright and breezy tone like the original.

Apparently the member isn’t good with hot milk, but this song has a warmth that feels just like it.

It has an energy and catchy vibe that totally explains why the crowd breaks into a big sing-along at live shows, and it gives you a comforting, embracing sense of security.

It was selected as the theme song for U-Can’s 2015 campaign commercial.

This up-tempo pop tune features a colorful sound incorporating brass and strings, driven by brisk guitar cutting.

The lyrics, which focus solely on charging straight ahead, make it a perfect track for anyone eager to take on a challenge.

It was selected as the theme song for the original video production “Wanko THE MOVIE 2.” This is the first song for which Kiyoe Yoshioka single-handedly handled both the lyrics and composition.

It’s a piece that reminds us that connecting with others and interacting with people is a truly wonderful and happy thing.

Now featured in music textbooks and known as a graduation song, this track from Yumi Arai’s era is covered by Ikimono-gakari in a tender yet passionate style.

It has a wonderful melody, and one of its charms is how different performers can bring out distinct qualities in it.

This is Ikimono-gakari’s “Until It Turns Into a Whistle.” It sings of the bittersweet feeling of being unable to forget memories of someone you once loved—at least until those memories turn into a mere whistle.

The expressive power is truly convincing and so wonderful, isn’t it? It’s also a song that’s played on Fuji TV’s show “It’s Refreshing! TV: Sukkiri Japan,” so many of you may have heard it.

Songs written and composed by the vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka are reputed to really touch the heart.
