Fight! SalarymanKetsumeishi
This is a powerful song that cheers on the daily struggles of office workers.
Released by Ketsumeishi in November 2010, it was used as a commercial song for Gurunavi.
While vividly portraying the realities salarymen face—salaries, allowances, and harsh working conditions—it carries a message that encourages them to keep fighting with a positive attitude.
Its memorable phrases strikingly express both the pride and hardships of those who support society.
When you’re exhausted from work or want to do your best for your family, why not listen to this song and recharge?
SunKobukuro
The upbeat, refreshing summer song “Taiyo” (The Sun) was released in 2002 as a double A-side single together with “Negai no Uta” (Song of Wishes).
While the overall tempo is on the faster side, the spacing between words—except in the A verse—is relaxed enough that you won’t feel rushed singing it.
The rhythmic section in the A verse is built on similar melodic patterns, so once you get the hang of it, it becomes easy to sing.
Riding the groove and having fun is the key to performing this song well.
Give it a try not only at karaoke but also in the car or during leisure activities—it’s great for all kinds of situations.
Defeat Galactor!Koromubia Yurikago-kai
Set to a powerful, fast-paced melody, this work portrays the heroic exploits of the Science Ninja Team protecting the peace of Earth.
The clear voices of the Columbia Yurikago-kai further enhance the energetic feel of the piece.
Celebrating the brave figures who fight using the power of science and ninja techniques, the song brings dreams and hope to children.
Used as the ending theme for Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, which began airing in 1972, it captured the hearts of many viewers throughout its 105-episode run.
The lyrics were written by the Tatsunoko Production Literary Department, and the music was composed by Asei Kobayashi.
Evoking empathy for protagonists with a pure sense of justice, this is a perfect track for anyone seeking an inspiring anthem that resonates.
It’s recommended listening when you want to feel uplifted.
Maybe the wind.Sakanakushon
One of Sakanaction’s signature songs, “Tabun, Kaze,” continues to capture the hearts of many even now, long after its release.
Issued in 2016, the single gained attention when it was featured in Shiseido’s ANESSA commercial.
Its up-tempo rhythm naturally gets your body moving, and the refreshing melody that evokes the feeling of wind helps set your mind free.
For those immersed in studying for exams, this is the power of Sakanaction’s music: delivering fresh courage and motivation.
Why not listen to this song during a relaxing moment before you start studying?
The sun is a sinful guy.Sazan Ōrusutāzu
The exhilarating summer song “Taiyo wa Tsumi na Yatsu” is also recommended.
It’s a track about summer love and that bubbly, excited feeling.
Fittingly, the melody is arranged in an up-tempo style.
Another hallmark of this song is that it incorporates a lot of English.
So be sure to check the pronunciation carefully as you sing.
By the way, the Japanese parts are set just a little higher in key, so it should suit both those who struggle with low notes and those who struggle with high notes.
