BTS (방탄소년단) ‘Dynamite’ Official MV (Choreography ver.)

If you’re looking for a summer song that parents and kids can enjoy together, I recommend Dynamite.

The crisp flow over a light beat reminiscent of soul and funk is cool, and the dramatically unfolding melody will heighten the excitement for the arrival of summer vacation.

Sukima Switch / Full-Power Boy from SUKIMASWITCH 15th Anniversary Special at YOKOHAMA ARENA ~Reversible~ THE MOVIE

Zensoku Shonen, a famous song by Sukima Switch released in 2005.

It’s still often heard at children’s events like sports days.

No matter how many times you fall, you can get back up and keep going—only you can grasp your own future.

That’s the message contained in this song.

In 2020, it was selected as the Japanese end song for the film Onward, bringing it back into the spotlight.

Some elementary school students may not have heard it, but it’s a motivational anthem that transcends time.

When things aren’t going well, let this song be your BGM and keep pushing forward!
