NTT West Japan “CM” × Ichiro “Declaration” × Kobukuro “Honeybee”

It’s a song that completely changes my worldview.

No matter how small you are, you have a mission, and you have to carry it out.

Kobukuro “Wadachi — Ruts —”

It’s a motivational song that lifts you up when you’re troubled or feeling down.

Released in 2001 as the second single by the musical duo Kobukuro, it’s irresistibly catchy with its light rhythm and satisfying chorus.

The chorus itself doesn’t require excessively high notes, so it’s a great pick.

Since it’s a fast-paced track, be sure to keep a steady tempo and pay attention to your articulation.

Wadachi (Ruts) - Kobukuro

Because it’s the path I chose, I should walk it on my own.

But if I ever struggle, they’ll help me anytime.

It feels like that’s what they’re telling me, and it gives me courage.

Having friends who say things like this is really reassuring, isn’t it? I want to become the kind of person who can say things like that, too.
