SUNHoshino Gen
When you need a boost, there are songs that make both your heart and body want to dance, right? That’s exactly when I want you to listen to Gen Hoshino’s “SUN.” Released as a single in May 2015, it was written as the theme song for the drama “Kokoro ga Pokitto ne.” With a sound inspired by ’70s dance classics, it’s so comfortable that your body starts moving before you know it.
There’s also a playful touch: the intro and the B-melody hide a motif gifted to Banana Man’s Yūki Himura.
Also included on the album “YELLOW DANCER,” this track is brimming with bright, positive energy.
On days when you’re not quite feeling it, or as a companion for your walk, give it a listen and enjoy a healthier, happier day.
one thing or anotherFujii Takashi
A relentlessly upbeat dance tune produced by Daisuke Asakura.
As Takashi Fujii’s debut single, this gem blends GAKU-MC’s forward-looking lyrics with effervescent synth sounds.
Just listening makes your body move on its own, brimming with the kind of energy that blows your worries away.
Released as a single in 2000, it went on to secure a spot at the 51st NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and in 2025 it was featured as the song for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Oronamin C commercial—proof that it continues to be loved across generations.
Highly recommended when you need a boost or want to shake off a sedentary slump! Move your body to the up-tempo beat, and you’re guaranteed to feel refreshed in both mind and body.
