SPYAIR “Orange” Music Video (Theme Song for Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle: The Movie)

A bittersweet anthem of youth by SPYAIR, released in February 2024 as the theme song for the film Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle, which poignantly portrays sweet-and-sour coming-of-age moments.

With fresh, vibrant vocals and an energetic band sound, the song captures the hearts of young people where hope and anxiety intertwine, conveying a strong resolve to keep moving forward even as they reluctantly part from friends.

Its refreshing yet heartrending melody and empowering message that points toward the future make it perfect for spring—the season of new beginnings like moving up a grade or graduation.

It’s a song that gently gives a push to everyone setting out on a new path with memories of cherished friends close to their hearts.

SUPER BEAVER “Ketsubou” MV

SUPER BEAVER’s deeply moving masterpiece that sings about the importance of human connections is included on their album “Ongaku,” released in February 2024.

The song gently conveys how an individual’s happiness is built with the support of many people and the warmth created by a chain of smiles.

The album “Ongaku” also features several tie-in tracks, including the theme song for the film Tokyo Revengers 2 and the anthem for the 103rd National High School Rugby Tournament.

It’s the perfect song for cheering on those practicing for sports days and field days, or for reminiscing about the memories of working up a sweat with your friends.

I want to become the wind.

Set to a samba rhythm, this classic sings of freedom and joy.

Released by THE BOOM in 1995, it uses simple words to convey the importance of everyday happiness and encounters with loved ones.

The lively sound woven by diverse percussion enhances the joy of singing together.

The unique fervor generated by the large chorus and samba rhythm makes listeners feel the pulse of life.

It’s easy to incorporate as a choral piece for school events or a dance at sports festivals, making it a perfect song for moments when you want to share a bright, uplifting feeling.

The ROOTLESS / One day

This is a song that was used as an opening theme for the anime One Piece.

It’s a track that’s quite popular among elementary school students, and it evokes memories of some of the most beloved characters.

Since it’s a moving song, I think it’s one that children with rich sensitivity should get to know while they’re still in elementary school.

UVERworld　『D-tecnoLife』

It was used as a song in the anime BLEACH.

It’s performed by UVERworld, who are popular with both men and women, and I think it’s a very popular track.

Its exhilarating sense of speed makes it a particularly great recommendation for elementary school boys.
