Although this song—one of T.M.Revolution’s signature tracks—doesn’t quite fit the conditions for a good wake-up song introduced at the beginning of the article, its powerful, high-energy vibe makes it a track that can snap you out of grogginess and wake you up refreshed.

Of the three conditions, the only one it meets is the structure of the intro.

The iconic synth intro that defines the song, followed by the entrance of the bass drum, then a sudden surge into the chorus—it’s a real hype track that makes you want to start dancing.

Listen to it and you’re guaranteed to wake up in an instant!

Mrs. GREEN APPLE "Darling" Official Music Video

This is a heart-stirring cheer song themed around being yourself and love.

Released in January 2025 as the theme song for NHK General’s special program “Mrs.

GREEN APPLE 18-Fes,” the track marks the first release in the band’s 10th anniversary year.

Performed together with 1,000 18-year-olds, the live rendition showcases an energetic side that resonates with young people.

With a catchy melody quintessential of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE and a pop-rock sound, the song brims with the anxiety, confusion, and hope felt during youth.

It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to high school students preparing for higher education or a new life, and getting ready to take their first step forward.
