It’s a song especially for those who don’t feel okay as they face a new life or changes in their environment.

An uplifting song has been born, warmly and gently portraying people who walk on with all their might, even while feeling how hard life can be.
Alongside the friendly melodies woven by the five members of wacci, the courage to face one’s own weaknesses and flaws, and the determination to move forward step by step, are vividly expressed.
Written and composed by Yohei Hashiguchi, the piece speaks to you even in those moments when you feel you’re losing your sense of self, telling you that your efforts have meaning.
It was written as the theme song for the NTV drama “After-School Carte” in October 2024 and is also included on the album “Dressing,” released in January 2025.
It is sure to be cherished as a song that stays close to your heart when you lose your way on the path you chose and come to a halt.
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.

I believe you need stamina to keep up a job search.
This is the debut single released in December 1997 by Black Biscuits, a unit born from the popular variety show “Ucchan Nanchan no Urinari!!.”
A Tiny Bit of CourageFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
It was released in 2007 as FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ fifth single.
The song was used as an insert track in the film “Bokutachi to Chūzaisan no 700 Nichi Sensō” (The 700 Days’ War: Our Youth).

GReeeeN’s 15th single, “Misenai Namida wa, Kitto Itsuka,” released in 2012.

Rising HopeLiSA
For those who are unsure about changing jobs and keep going around in circles thinking, “What should I do?” without finding an answer—this happens, and I get it.
For anyone in that spot, I recommend LiSA’s song “Rising Hope,” a track that cleanly cuts through the negativity and helps you move forward.
Released as a single in 2014, it was also the opening theme for the anime The Irregular at Magic High School.
Its direct, hard-hitting message—and LiSA’s vocals—will surely give you the strength to take the next step.
