ReawakeR (feat.Felix of Stray Kids)LiSA
This is a collaborative piece by LiSA, known for her powerful vocals and energetic melodies, and Stray Kids’ Felix.
The lyrics, expressing the resolve to carve out one’s destiny and the determination of someone reborn, carry a message of challenge and growth.
Created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Solo Leveling Season 2 – Arise from the Shadow,” airing from January 2025, the song is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, a leading figure in the industry.
With a masterful fusion of rock sounds and electronic elements, this track will strongly encourage middle school students who want to forge their own path.
VertigoMAN WITH A MISSION
This is a powerful track whose sharp, incisive message captures the turmoil of modern society and the feelings of its people.
The lyrics, which warn against a society that blindly charges forward in pursuit of something “better” and portray the emotional instability of hearts swayed within it, speak to a universal theme anyone can relate to.
Included on the EP “XV e.p.” released in March 2025, it was also used as the promotional song for the near-futuristic sci-fi mecha game Mecha BREAK.
Perfectly linked to the game’s worldview, the song features MAN WITH A MISSION’s signature energetic sound.
It’s an ideal choice for school festivals or cultural festival performances as an anthem cheering on friends taking their next step.
ThunderRIZE
RIZE’s major-label debut crashed into the music scene with roaring guitars and an explosive sound.
Capturing a thunderbolt-like impact in musical form, the track pairs deftly interwoven English and Japanese lyrics with an ambitious message: to spread their music from Asia across the entire Eurasian continent.
Since its release in August 2000, it’s become a live staple, igniting venues with audience-inclusive performances.
Featured in Sony’s “RED HOT 2000 Campaign” commercial, the song further accelerated RIZE’s momentum.
With its powerful sound and Jesse’s commanding vocals, this track is perfect for moments when you want to unleash the fire inside or push forward believing in your own potential.
racyA-ko
Singer-songwriter Ako, hailed as the next-generation dark pop icon, holds the belief: “Because music saved me, I want to save others through music.” The lead single Racy, released ahead of her 3rd EP Steal your heart, features an ensemble with a distinctly oriental atmosphere.
Its sentimental lyrics, spun in a whispery voice, paired with a danceable beat, give it a uniquely addictive quality.
It’s an urban pop tune you’ll want to check out alongside its fully animated music video.
Flowing voicemei-chan
A high-energy, fast-paced uptempo track sung by Mei-chan, a singer who’s also active as a member of the YouTuber group Niku Chomolungma.
As the theme song for the drama “Our School Broadcast,” it’s a sparkling tune that perfectly captures youth.
The androgynous high-tone vocals are pleasant to the ear and are sure to bring a refreshing breeze even on slightly gloomy mornings.
Also pay attention to the delightful instrumental break that fizzes like sparkling soda.
It’s a song that blows away the haze and makes you want to take off running.
mixMarushii
“Mix” by Marcy, a band from Fukuoka, is a track where a robust rock sound blends with breezy, poppy melodies and lyrics that gently resonate.
Despite its fast tempo and sense of drive, the mellow vocals and sweet, cute lyrics make it perfect even for sluggish mornings.
Packed with down-to-earth euphoria that feels like savoring the happy moments spent with someone you love, it’s the kind of song that, if you hum it on your way to school, seems like it could kickstart a happy day.
Everyday, KachushaAKB48
A signature AKB48 song released during the group’s true golden era, when stars like Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, and Mayu Watanabe were active.
The Akimoto Yasushi (lyrics) and Inoue Masayoshi (music) duo should practically be called a platinum combo! The lyrics, which capture the bittersweetness of youthful unrequited love—“When you wear a headband, you’re an angel to me, but…”—are exquisite.
This timeless template of innocent love is something today’s teens in the Reiwa era can relate to 100%.
It’s a song I highly recommend when you need a boost!
