weak insectBaba Toshihiko
Some of you may have just gone through a change in your environment this spring and are feeling lonely or anxious.
For you, I recommend listening to Toshihide Baba’s “Yowai Mushi” (“Weak Bug”).
Its lyrics depict the frailty of people who look down on those weaker than themselves, as well as one’s own negativity.
As you listen, pay attention to what kind of mindset the narrator reaches after confronting these feelings.
By the way, the music video is also known for being created by the comedian Tekken.
Be sure to watch it alongside the song.
excessively earnest; overly serious to a fault; straight-lacedCreepy Nuts×Ayase×Ikuta Rira
Ayase, the composer of YOASOBI, and ikura, the vocalist—known for hit songs like “Racing into the Night” and “Monster”—have teamed up with Creepy Nuts, a leading force in Japan’s hip-hop scene, for the collaboration track “Bakamajime.” It’s a perfect song for a fresh start.
Its message—if you don’t give up on earnestly doing your best, even if you’re clumsy, the path will open—will surely ease the anxieties of those struggling on a new stage in life.
Morning of the BeginningOfisharu Higedan Dism
A breezy up-tempo track by Hige Dandism, with such vivid imagery you’ll want to dash through a lane of cherry blossoms.
It’s included on their 2017 mini-album “Report.” This song, “Hajimari no Asa” (Morning of Beginnings), was created around a scene from when Fujihara entered high school.
April brings the start of a new term and new lives, along with that restless flutter in your heart—feelings this song surely captures.
Its glittering sound feels like it’s celebrating a fresh start, and it’s exciting, isn’t it? It’s perfect for commuting to school or work, as if you’re running alongside Hige Dandism! Make it your companion for a new beginning.

I’ll keep going.Jonagōrudo
When it comes to uplifting songs to listen to in spring, Jonagold’s new track is a perfect fit! It captures the mix of excitement and anxiety, making it an ideal song for anyone starting a new chapter.
Released in January 2024, it delivers a heartfelt message alongside visuals inspired by a discontinued railway line in Aomori Prefecture.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of the days that connect the past to the future, giving you the courage to look ahead just by listening.
It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone diving into a new environment or striving toward their dreams!
spring stormSangatsu no Phantasia
It’s a song that gives a gentle push to anyone starting a new chapter.
Sangatsu no Phantasia’s vocals softly wrap around the anxieties and confusion that come with a new environment.
The lyrics carry a desire for self-discovery and connection with others, offering comfort to anyone who listens.
Released in February 2024, the track was also chosen as the theme song for the anime “A World Seen Through the Viewfinder.” Its driving melody and moving message blend beautifully, making it a song that gives you the courage to dive into something new.
I especially recommend it to those who, with the arrival of spring, feel themselves beginning to change.
TOMORROWMayo Okamoto
Singer-songwriter Mayo Okamoto has written hits for other artists as well, and in 2016, to mark the 20th anniversary of her debut, she also began performing as a pianist.
Her first single, “TOMORROW,” which was used as the theme song for the TV drama Second Chance, became a double-million seller and, despite being her debut track, made her name widely known.
The lyrics, which remind us that there’s always someone on our side even in the toughest times, give us motivation to push forward into new fields.
With its upbeat, driving ensemble and catchy melody that lifts your spirits, it’s a quintessential hit tune of the 1990s.
Young SongKawasaki Takaya
Singer-songwriter Takaya Kawasaki’s album Calendar was released in 2021.
The track Young Song included on the album is, as its title suggests, an encouraging anthem that gives a push to young people.
The bright tone of the acoustic guitar blends with his gentle voice, and before you know it, listening makes you feel positive and ready to move forward.
The harmonica solo in the middle also instantly kicks the energy up a notch.
