Elephant Kashimashi – “Our Tomorrow”

This is a masterpiece imbued with a powerful, emotionally resonant rock sound and a vision of walking toward the future alongside friends.

The friendship and bonds portrayed in the music video, along with the courage to step into a new tomorrow, gently support anyone seeking strength for their heart.

Released in November 2007 by Elephant Kashimashi, led by Hiroji Miyamoto, the song was used in a commercial for House Foods’ Ukon no Chikara and came to be loved by a wide audience.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when standing at a crossroads in life, when renewing your resolve, or when you need hope for the future.

With its robust melody, it fills you with the courage to move forward—an uplifting song that warms the heart.

Hi-STANDARD – Stay Gold [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Known by the nickname “Hai-Suta,” Hi-STANDARD is the legendary rock band that cemented the genre of melodic hardcore in the J-pop scene.

“Stay Gold,” from their third album MAKING THE ROAD—which became a million-seller both in Japan and abroad—amps you up with its catchy melodies and harmonies despite being sung entirely in English.

It’s a pretty fast-tempo track, so it’s not easy, but it’s guaranteed to hype up the room at karaoke.

This is a rock tune I want you to sing when you just need to blow off steam—highly recommended for those in their 30s who likely experienced the heyday of the melodic hardcore scene.
