March Toward TomorrowKuwata Keisuke

Keisuke Kuwata – March Toward Tomorrow (Full ver.)

Written by Keisuke Kuwata in 2011, at a time when many people were anxious about tomorrow, this is a marching song of hope.

Its unadorned, simple sound centered on acoustic guitar seeps all the more deeply into the heart.

The lyrics carry a strong message to the disaster-stricken areas, and there is a verse that sounds as if it sings “in Tohoku,” a characteristically modest form of encouragement from Kuwata that is profoundly moving.

This warm number was released in August 2011 as part of a triple A-side single and was also used in an NTT Docomo commercial.

It’s a talisman-like song, perfect for those moments when you want just a little boost of energy or a gentle push on the back.

JUJU “See You Tomorrow”

This is the theme song for the Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama “Good Life: Thank You, Dad.

Goodbye.” The lyrics evoke family love that perfectly matches the drama’s image.

Many of JUJU’s songs have been used as theme songs, and each one complements the dramas well.

Bridge of Gloryyuzu

Eikou no Kakehashi – Yuzu (Full)

This is a signature song by the folk duo Yuzu, known for its moving melodies that linger in the heart and lyrics that paint the radiant moments of life.

It’s a warm piece that gently embraces everyone’s dreams and the joy and hardship felt along the journey.

Released in July 2004, it was chosen as the theme song for NHK’s broadcast of the Athens Olympics.

It is deeply etched in many people’s memories alongside the moment when Japan’s men’s gymnastics team won gold for the first time in 28 years in Athens.

We recommend this work as an encouraging anthem for those who are putting in the effort or about to take a new step, filled with kindness like words of support.
