A Tiny Bit of CourageFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
Released in 2007 as FUNKY MONKEY BABYS’ fifth single.
The song was used as the May opening theme for Nippon TV’s “Music Fighter” and as an insert song in the film “Bokutachi to Chūzai-san no 700-nichi Sensō” (The 700 Days’ War with Mr.
Police Officer).
It carries the message that, although we may still be small and insignificant, by moving forward without giving up, we can create opportunities to expand our possibilities.
HANABIMr.Children
This is one of the signature songs by the hugely popular rock band Mr.Children.
It also drew attention as the theme song for the drama “Code Blue.” Don’t we all live with various problems? This song serves as an anthem of encouragement for everyone.
It’s also recommended for times when you want to give your best.
Soul RevolutionSuperfly
It was chosen as NHK’s soccer theme song for fiscal year 2010 and became a big hit.
2010 was the year the FIFA World Cup was held, and many people likely learned, through soccer, the importance of not giving up and the spirit of challenging the strong.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you need to fire yourself up through sports.
PoisonSorimachi Takashi
It was used as the theme song for the drama GTO, and it conveys the message that it doesn’t matter what others think—what’s important is living true to yourself.
I recommend it to those who are tired of worrying about others’ opinions or who are struggling to live as their authentic selves.
The Wind, the Clouds, and MeKumagai Sachiko
Released in 1994 as Sachiko Kumagai’s fifth single.
The song became a hit after it was chosen as the theme for the TV drama “Natsuko no Sake.” With its refreshing, pleasant melody and clear, translucent vocals, it’s a deeply soothing track.
The lyrics, which boldly declare a love for “tomorrow,” a day when you can meet a different version of yourself even after hardships or unpleasant experiences, give you the strength to keep going.
