The calling voiceVaundy
Written by singer-songwriter Vaundy as the theme song for NHK General’s “Vaundy 18-sai Matsuri,” this piece was released digitally in December 2025.
It was created on the premise of being sung together with “1,000 18-year-olds gathered from across the country.” It brilliantly fuses introspective personal emotions and a forward-looking stance toward the future with the anthemic exhilaration of voices raised in unison.
It’s a track brimming with overwhelming energy that powerfully pushes the backs of those who are earnestly taking on a challenge.
Thunderous applauseLiSA
Known for her powerful vocals and energetic sound, LiSA’s song was selected as the official theme for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 broadcast.
It’s a pre-release single from her album LANDER, which was released in November 2022.
The lyrics, themed around courage to take on challenges and self-belief, serve as a passionate cheer for the athletes competing in the tournament.
Imbued with LiSA’s own artistic passion, the track is sure to encourage anyone facing difficulties.
Its robust rock sound and strong message are perfect for those ready to take a new step forward.
Starting Oversumika
The song, which carries a positive message themed around new beginnings, encourages listeners to step forward toward a new future while embracing all past joys and sorrows.
It calls out to “dreamers” who chase their dreams and portrays a stance of striving toward future glory.
Released as a single in June 2023, it was also used as the opening theme for the TV anime MIX MEISEI STORY: The Second Summer, Beyond the Sky.
While addressing universal themes such as the strength to never give up and the bonds among friends, it also frankly depicts individual emotions and inner conflicts, making it deeply relatable for many listeners.
With its brisk melody and powerful message, it’s a track that fills listeners with positive energy.
Soldier, run.B’z
Released in May 2019, this B’z track was written as a support song for Japan’s national rugby team.
It was also featured in Taisho Pharmaceutical’s Lipovitan D commercials.
With its exhilarating sense of speed and lyrics depicting the drive to keep running toward a goal, just listening to it might put you in the perfect fighting mode for any competition.
The melody that soars from low tones to high notes lifts your spirits—making it a number I highly recommend for everyone working hard in their club activities.
Poem of the StarsGRe4N BOYZ
This song by GRe4N BOYZ was newly written as the ending theme for the 5th National High School Light Music Club Tournament, “we are SNEAKER AGES.” Released in December 2025 as a cheer song for light music clubs at 2,400 schools nationwide, its exhilarating sound and irresistibly bright melody affirm the youthful days devoted to club activities.
A key highlight is that TERU from GLAY participates on vocals.
The piece embodies the shared sentiment between GRe4N BOYZ—formed with friends from their school days and still active—and GLAY: the value of the “view shared with your friends.” It’s a must-listen for anyone striving toward a goal.
