YesterdayOfisharu Higedan Dism

Official HIGE DANDism – Yesterday [Official Video]

This song became the theme for the film HELLO WORLD.

With “don’t give up” and “believe in yourself” as its key phrases, it’s a track that can lift you up even when you’re feeling down after a setback! Looking at the lyrics, you can tell it’s a love song, but if you replace “love” with a place you long for, it feels like it’ll push you forward when you want to work hard at studying or sports.

If you’re hurt by heartless words around you like “You can’t do it” or “Why don’t you just give up?”, try listening to this song!

About meMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – About Me

A masterful song by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE that captivates with its grand rock ballad sound and heartfelt lyrics.

It gently asks what it means to live true to yourself, and how your own existence becomes visible through differences with others.

Its warm perspective resonates deeply, standing by those who, despite anxiety and loneliness, strive to move forward step by step.

Released in January 2019, it stirred the hearts of many as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.

From November 2022, an orchestral arrangement was also featured in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s CalorieMate “Support for Exam Takers” commercial series, showcasing a new charm.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you stand at a crossroads in life, when you feel you might lose your way, or when you want to encourage someone dear to you.

MiracleGReeeeN

GReeeeN – Kiseki

In elementary school, students change classes over six years and interact with many friends.

Through that, they deepen their bonds with their peers, and the presence of those friends gives them strength.

A popular song that celebrates such bonds is GReeeeN’s “Kizuna.” It was the theme song for the TV drama ROOKIES, which is about high school baseball, and the song is popular along with the show.

Because it sings about the joy of meeting friends whose mere presence makes you feel happy, it’s a perfect song for students from elementary through high school.

IdeaHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino – Idea (Official Video)

A classic feel-good song for elementary school kids: Gen Hoshino’s “Idea”! This track was the theme song for the 2018 NHK morning drama series “Half, Blue.” Like Hoshino’s hit “Koi,” it has a bright, light rhythm that feels great and makes you want to start dancing.

It may be almost too standard for elementary schoolers, but it’s perfect when you want to boost your energy! It’s an uplifting anthem that makes you feel like you can handle even difficult things, so it’s highly recommended when you want to face challenges!

That gentle girlsupittsu

Spitz / That Gentle Girl

“Yasashii Ano Ko” is Spitz’s 42nd single, released in 2019.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Natsuzora, set in Hokkaido.

The lyrics include Ainu words, the language of the indigenous Ainu people of Hokkaido.

The song blends the expansiveness of the open sky with the warmth of sunshine, creating a very gentle impression.

Coupled with Masamune Kusano’s vocals, its tenderness is further enhanced.

It’s a song I especially recommend to elementary school children, who often find themselves playing in the great outdoors.
