A catchy pop number that blows away the Monday blues at the start of the week.
It’s a solo track by Kanade Otonose from the VTuber group ReGLOSS, and just as the creators describe it as a “cheer song that sends you off every morning with a bright smile,” it’s filled with warmth.
The lyrics, which affirm that “the direction you’re facing is what’s ahead,” are like a sunflower turning toward the sun.
Listen to it on mornings when you’re starting something new or whenever you need a boost, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!

With an entirely new, relentless ‘Diggy-style’ rap that had never existed before, SOLDOUT made a shocking, hard-hitting debut with ‘Wekapipo.’ Combining machine-like rapid-fire, conversational delivery with a beautiful singing voice that shines in melodic moments, they sparked both praise and criticism yet secured their position as a rising star in the hip-hop scene.
SONS OF THE SUNAsanami 25
A refreshing midsummer rap tune with a flamenco-inspired theme ringing throughout the track.
It’s also one of their signature songs.
The title, “Sons of the Sun,” overlays the image of themselves gazing up at the blazing, radiant sun with sunflowers blooming boldly toward it.
GOOD DAYMrs. GREEN APPLE
Released in September 2025, this song is brimming with positivity, boldly declaring everything to be “wonderful” as it rides through life’s ups and downs.
Its lyrics—so fresh they prompted Omori to say his mindset as a songwriter had changed—resonate deeply.
As the finale of the band’s first-ever six-month consecutive release run, it was featured in a commercial for Kirin Beer’s “Kirin Good Ale.” A rock tune like a protective charm, it gives you the energy to face tomorrow.

The single “weekly,” released in April 2025, is a gem of a pop tune that showcases Nishina’s musical talent.
Its soothing melody line and addictive vocals blend in exquisite balance to paint a gentle sonic world.
The bright tones of the horn section are downright exhilarating.
I think it’s perfect for a calm, leisurely afternoon on a day off.
Karu-Garu Everyday!!hanabie
An uplifting anthem where powerful shouts collide with cute vocals—just one listen will instantly put you in a positive mood! Formed in Tokyo in 2015, Hanabie., who have been drawing intense attention both at home and abroad with their unique “Harajuku-core” style, released this track in July 2025.
It was written as the theme song for the TV anime “Raccoon Karukaru Squad,” broadcast on Yomiuri TV and BS Nippon TV, perfectly bridging the show’s comedic world and the band’s ferocity.
It’s an encouraging message for everyday life—when you want to dash lightly from morning to night—delivered at a blistering tempo that feels like a push on your back just by listening.
A perfect song for anyone who wants to power through the day or give a little pep talk to a tired heart!
