The Beginningayaka
It’s a gentle cheer song by Ayaka that wraps your heart in her warm vocals.
Included on the album “The beginning,” it was released in February 2012.
As Ayaka herself said, she aimed to create songs that “stay close,” and this track carries a message of encouragement for those taking a new step forward.
The lyrics also share the importance of human connection, with lines like “When hands are joined, a new strength is born.” It’s a reassuring song that will softly push job-seeking students from behind.
If you’re feeling anxious about a new environment, this is a track you should definitely listen to.
Lost ManBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a song by BUMP OF CHICKEN that gives you the courage to believe in the path you’ve chosen and keep moving forward! The lyrics, crafted over a long period of nine months, depict someone progressing despite their doubts.
Released in March 2003, this hit track was also included on BUMP OF CHICKEN’s best-of album.
It’s perfect for those struggling with job hunting or standing at a crossroads in life.
As you listen, you’ll feel the strength to trust your own choices welling up inside.
Even when you face difficulties, believe that those experiences will lead to your future, and keep moving forward one step at a time!

It’s a powerful cheer song that gives you the strength to keep facing forward and moving on.

It features Remioromen’s warm vocals and a melody that resonates deeply.
Its message—“Accept your weakness and fear, and still keep moving forward”—gently pushes listeners from behind.
To everyone taking on the job-hunting challenge, why not listen to this song and take a step forward believing in your own potential? Surely, it will open the door to a new future.
To tomorrowMISIA
It’s included on MISIA’s original album “SOUL QUEST,” released in July 2011.
Although it was created as a support song for the recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, I think it can also give you strength and courage when you’re struggling with a job search that isn’t going well.

It’s a heartwarming piece filled with gratitude and a desire to cheer on that first step toward a hope-filled future.

WANIMA’s energetic sound will surely give you the push you need.
In the Morning of DeterminationAqua Timez
Aqua Timez, which unfortunately disbanded in 2018, released their major-label debut single “Ketsui no Asa ni” in 2006.
It’s a song I want people to hear if they’re feeling miserable and overwhelmed by their job or workplace.
It’s not about pushing you to move forward toward changing jobs; rather, it resonates with the pain and worries you’re feeling—pure empathy.
How about calming and centering your heart with this song, then looking ahead and taking a step forward? By the time it ends, you’ll probably feel like you can take that first step.
