There are times when nothing goes right and you lose your sense of where you belong.
When your heart feels tired like that, I recommend “Soranji.” It’s a powerful, message-driven ballad from Mrs.

Please don’t forget that you are someone precious to someone.

This track, included in THE BOOK 2, was chosen as the 2021 theme song for Fuji TV’s Mezamashi TV.
Centered on small acts of kindness and hope in everyday life, the lyrics portray the importance of mustering just a little more courage—“just a bit more”—to take a step forward, brightening up those sluggish morning moods.
For anyone wishing to face forward and take that first step, YOASOBI’s music will gently give you a push from behind.

Released in September 2023 as the theme song for the news program “news zero,” this track features lyrics that lay bare the fragile feelings in everyday life—something everyone can relate to—woven with vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara’s own experiences as a working adult.
The down-to-earth, melodious sound, tinged with a touch of nostalgia, gently loosens the tension you’ve been carrying.
It’s a song that lightens your heart and makes you feel like you can face tomorrow just as you are.

Yuuri’s songs resonate with the doubts and regrets everyone carries.
The message in “Billimillion” is: “Decide your own life for yourself.” A decision made after deep soul-searching is one you won’t regret.
It’s an empowering anthem that gives you the courage to believe in yourself and take a step forward, especially when times are tough.
Soothed by Yuuri’s warm voice, why not take the plunge and try a new challenge when you’re at a crossroads in life? You’ll surely find a new world waiting for you.
