An uplifting song for adults who, overwhelmed by the busyness of daily life, have forgotten how to laugh from the heart.

With his warm vocals, Takaya Kawasaki helps you recall the sparkle of your younger days.

The melodic style and the refreshing sound of the acoustic guitar leave a strong impression.

Included on the album “Calendar,” it was also used as the commercial song for the National Federation of Mini Vehicle Associations in October 2021.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when starting a new chapter in life, standing at a crossroads, or feeling worn out by the everyday.

Wrapped in Takaya Kawasaki’s gentle voice, you’ll be able to reset your heart.

It’s a song that feels like a springtime gift.

It’s a March 2025 single by Shiritsu Ebisu Chugaku, with lyrics and composition by Katsuhiko Sugiyama.

The beautiful melody portrays the expectations and anxieties of starting a new chapter, warm friendship, and a resolve toward the future.

The music video—featuring the members in pure white uniforms deepening their bonds in a forest—also leaves a strong impression.

I think it will resonate not only with students, but with anyone who needs the courage to leap into a new environment!

This new release from &TEAM features a soothing melody that evokes an autumn night sky.

Dropped as a digital single on October 23, 2024, it’s the third installment in a series themed around the four seasons.

Its Britpop-inspired sound is a major draw, and the lyrics—overlaying feelings of friendship and dreams with the scene of the harvest moon—really resonate.

It’s a great listen when you want to strive toward your dreams or feel a bond with someone important.

The animated music video has also generated buzz, making it a visually engaging track as well.
