Just being alive is admirable.ReoNa
Characterized by heartfelt lyrics and a delicate singing voice, this song portrays the loneliness, helplessness, and small moments of salvation we feel in everyday life.
Through ordinary scenes—nearly getting hit by a bicycle, holding back tears on the train—it captures the sense of difficulty in living that everyone experiences.
Included on ReoNa’s single “Nai Nai,” released in May 2021, the track resonated with many listeners despite having no tie-in.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those who feel tired of living or who wish someone would stay close by.
Its gentle words are sure to soothe your heart.
UniqueAARON
This song is also the main theme of the drama “Isn’t That Plagiarism?” which I always look forward to for Kyoko Yoshine’s slightly spacey, good-natured character.
It’s also the debut track of the artist AARON.
Even when unexpected rain falls or your IC card won’t work and you get a bit down, the song embraces a positive mindset that sees those moments as “unique.” The lyrics are bursting with energy to keep moving forward every day, and there are so many parts I really relate to.
As you listen, elements of a love song subtly blend in—and that understated touch is great, too.
It’s a track that brings you to a happy ending, and I definitely recommend it for when you’re feeling low.
Flower SongGReeeeN
GreeeeN’s classic “Hana Uta” sets your heart dancing with its driving, high-speed 8-beat and a powerful rock sound that almost chants, “You can do it! Keep going!” The lyrics are irresistibly encouraging too, urging you to bloom with dignity toward the open sky, true to yourself no matter what happens.
There will be times you get hurt and days you struggle, but let’s listen to this song today and keep smiling!

Released in 2024, this song by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE was chosen as the theme for the film “Saint Young Men THE MOVIE: Holy Men VS the Demon Army.” Set to a gentle melody, its message about the importance of resting well is filled with warmth that quietly supports everyone.
Motoki Omori, the band’s vocalist, has been a fan of the original work since junior high school, and he approached the songwriting with deep affection for and understanding of the piece.
For those who tend to overwork themselves in their busy daily lives, or who wish to find a bit more calm in their hearts, this song will surely offer a lovely moment of healing.

Mrs.

As the song approaches its finale, more instruments join in, lifting the listener’s spirits along with the music.
By the way, the title is Spanish for something like “It’ll work out somehow.”

“Maybe I should just quit.” It’s precisely when you feel that way that I want you to listen to sumika’s songs.
