If you prefer a gentle song for your alarm, I recommend Miki Imai’s “May It Be a Wonderful Day…”.

It’s a mid-tempo number that sings of a peaceful day and honest feelings, released in 2005 as the B-side to the single “Ai no Uta”.

With a pleasant brass sound and a calm rhythm, it has a charm that makes you naturally want to get moving.

It was also used as the theme song for “Mezanew” (aired from 2003 to 2014), so it’s perfect for alarms! Not only is the song itself—crafted by Tomoyasu Hotei—excellent, but Miki Imai’s gentle vocals are also lovely, making it a morning song that makes you feel like something good might happen.
