WANIMA 'Before the Departure' OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This is a rousing cheer song written for the project “Fight! Kyushu,” which aims to energize Kyushu.

Released by WANIMA as a digital-only single in April 2021, it also drew attention when it was unveiled as a surprise at the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks’ season opener ceremony.

Riding on a brisk, fast-paced sound, it powerfully pushes forward those who strive ahead despite anxiety and doubt.

Its fiery message urging listeners to “hang in there” is sure to resonate especially in spring, a season of big changes.

It’s a high-energy track you’ll want to play to rally yourself when you feel like faltering in a new life phase or challenge.

Young Skinny – Even If The World Comes to Hate Me (2023 ver.) [Official Music Video]

Young Skinny is a four-piece rock band active since 2020.

Their signature sound embodies classic Japanese rock, and their heartfelt melodies and lyrics consistently resonate with young listeners.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend to teenage boys for scoring high is “Even If the World Comes to Hate Me.” Despite its bright tone, it doesn’t simply ramp up in intensity; in fact, the key drops a step when the chorus hits.

Even if you can’t sing very high, it’s still very manageable, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

A refreshing melody that seems to reflect the brilliance of summer makes this song especially memorable.

The clear, transparent sound crafted by Ryokuoushoku Shakai resonates as comfortably as a summer blue sky.

Haruko Nagaya’s vocals beautifully capture the ache of fleeting love and moments of sparkle.

Released digitally in August 2023 and on CD in September, the track was written as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Midsummer Cinderella,” and, boosted by the show’s synergy, it captured the hearts of many.

It’s the perfect song for looking back on summer memories or deepening your feelings for someone special.

A glittering, magical tune that colors a page of youth.

The third digital-only single by Ryokuoushoku Shakai, a four-piece rock band drawing attention for their impactful name and refreshing pop sensibility.

Chosen as the theme song for tvk’s “RIDE OF KANAGAWA 2020 High School Baseball,” the track charms from its lyrical guitar-and-piano intro through to its exhilarating, fast-paced chorus.

The memories of pouring everything into the limited window of youth—and the even shorter summers within it—will shine in your heart as treasures no matter how old you get.

It’s a pop tune recommended for teenagers, carrying the message to live those dazzling days without regrets.
