GREEN APPLE’s “Boku no Koto.” It was also chosen as the theme song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament and is one of their signature tracks.
Life isn’t filled only with good things.
There are times when we stumble and go through tough experiences.
But this song, embracing all of that, reminds us of the existence of “ourselves.” With lyrics imbued with a “philosophy of life” and vocalist Ōmori’s straightforward, transparent voice, it’s a track that truly grips the heart.

One of singer-songwriter meiyo’s signature songs is “Nothing I Do Goes Right.” Just from the title, you can almost feel all kinds of emotions coming through, and it makes you want to give it a listen, doesn’t it? (lol) This track is also known for going viral on TikTok, so some of you may have discovered it there.
If you’ve gotten into a fight with a friend or messed something up, the lyrics might hit a little close to home, but I’d still recommend it as an uplifting number whose indescribable sense of humor gives you energy.

Highly recommended for fans of Vocaloid and anime songs! Be sure to listen to it during those youthful days when you’re overwhelmed by tender, inescapable emotions.
