Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

To those who were in casual clothes, my apologies.

This time, I’ve gathered songs with the theme of “uniforms.”

They’re all pieces that bring back memories of youth—graduation, teenage love, and more.

From hit songs from decades ago to recent rock bands, it seems “uniforms” have been a long-standing theme.

Swaying, swayingShin-yama Shiori

While worrying about how others see her and forcing a polite smile, she sings about the questions she has regarding the fixed rules of life within a school uniform.

Shiori Niiyama is a multi-talented singer-songwriter, writer, and actress, but she also has the grit of someone who started honing her craft at 15 by performing street gigs in bustling downtown areas.

When half a year had flown by since I moved into a shabby apartment in the city, I finished unpacking the last box and found a photo of myself in my school uniform, smiling.

Maybe I was a bit of a troublemaker back then, but with just this one photo, I resolved to take on my dreams again.

It’s a song that captures that decision, and the fluttering cherry blossom petals make the strength of that feeling all the more palpable.

It’s one of those moving youth anthems.

When the theme is school uniforms, scenes that everyone has experienced naturally come to mind, and Miwa’s sense in adding color to those moments and turning them into song is outstanding.

Miwa, who usually sings while playing the guitar, pours her heart into this performance.

Thank you Kazuya Kamenashi and Tatsuya Ueda

A Kamenashi–Ueda duo track that competes not with dance, but—perhaps?—with vocal prowess.

Have they reached the age where they sing about those precious, treasure-like memories of their youth? In any case, it invites you to really listen and relive the time when we wore school uniforms, everything sparkled, and we were dreaming.
