A bouquet with loveSuperfly
Sometimes, you should just throw away all your shyness and everything else, and express your feelings with your whole body—even if it feels over-the-top or anything.
Precisely because many Japanese people aren’t good at this, and because we tend to suppress our true feelings in daily life, I think it’s important to have moments where you put it out there—no matter what others might think—and declare, “This is how I feel!” Released in 2008, this work is one of Superfly’s signature songs, showcasing vocalist Shiho Ochi’s overwhelming vocal prowess.

No matter how hurt your heart may be, you are never alone—your beloved family will always be on your side.
This song portrays the strong bond with family, expressing messages from them throughout the track.
When times are tough, it might be good to lean on your family.
Night fishing is good.Sakanakushon
Speaking of Sakanaction, they have many more famous songs, but I’m intentionally introducing this one here.
This relatively long track consists of three parts—slow tempo, up-tempo, and slow tempo—and is musically of a very high caliber.
If you’re not the type who likes straightforward, feel-good cheer-up songs, you might find this one appealing.
Joyfulikimonogakari
This is the song that became famous for the “Pocky Dance.” It really makes your body start jumping naturally, doesn’t it? I think Yoshioka Kiyoe’s energetic vocals are one reason for the song’s sense of dynamism.
It’s also a perfect number for karaoke.
fanfareMr.Children
From this straightforward cheering song sung by one of Japan’s leading vocalists, Kazutoshi Sakurai, countless positive words are fired off, piercing straight into the heart.
The switch from the slow intro into the ringing guitar riff stirs excitement whether you like it or not.
It was also the theme song for the film ONE PIECE FILM STRONG WORLD.
Flower of HappinessWEST.
A heartwarming piece I’d like to introduce is “Shiawase no Hana.” It’s a track by the idol group WEST.
The lyrics and composition were done by Takashi Yamaguchi of Sambomaster, giving it a classic rock sound.
The lyrics convey the message: “Precisely because everyday life can be tough, let’s keep smiling and live joyfully.” The arrangement showcases each member’s vocal qualities, so it might even help you discover new charms of the group.
Full-Power BoySukima Suichi
A refreshing, fast-paced track.
But it’s not simply refreshing—in fact, if you read the lyrics closely, you’ll see it sends a strong message to people who are overthinking: “If you want to break out of your current situation, you’ve just got to throw yourself into action!” It’s a song that feels like it’ll blow away the status quo with a fresh breeze and open up a path forward.
