Heralding springyama
A song by yama, a singer of undisclosed age and gender who is also active as a member of the rock band BIN.
The composer Kujira, who wrote both the lyrics and music, and yama reportedly completed the track entirely through online communication without ever meeting in person—a thoroughly modern production method.
With its catchy melody and a vocal that is powerful yet delicate and androgynous, it’s a track that lingers in the ear—no wonder it has surpassed 100 million streams.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
When it comes to songs that give a push to those working hard at school or work, “Ashita mo” comes to mind.
The rock band SHISHAMO included it on their 2017 album SHISHAMO 4.
It features the kind of straightforward, passionate rock sound unique to a three-piece band.
The lyrics, which depict people who keep going even on days when nothing goes right, are especially memorable.
Coupled with Asako Miyazaki’s girlish vocals, it’s a track that gives you the courage to step into an unseen future.
Let yourself be soothed by its warm message that embraces loneliness and anxiety.
sixth senseREOL
This is a song by singer-songwriter Reol, whose popularity ignited through her online activities.
It was released as a digital single in 2020.
The track is produced by the popular Vocaloid producer Giga.
It’s an electric music piece characterized by its heavy, high-impact sound that lifts your mood just by following the beat.
The lyrics, carrying the message “Let’s move forward as we please!”, are inspiring.
It’s an upbeat tune that makes you want to keep time with your body and sing along, rather than sit and listen closely.
GlitteringREOL
Reol is a female artist who started out as an utaite singer.
She shot to fame with “The Sixth Sense” in 2020.
After that, she seemed to release more pop-leaning tracks, but the key point with 2023’s “Kirakira” is that it revives the beautiful yet fleeting tone found in her pre-“Sixth Sense” songs.
Specifically, it evokes that uniquely exotic atmosphere you can only feel in her music—akin to tracks like “YoiYoi Kokon” and “Utena”—and it’s absolutely irresistible!
Love Revolution 21Mōningu Musume.
It’s a smash hit released in 2000, during Morning Musume’s peak.
The choreography where you rotate both hands during the “WoWo…” part is distinctive, and it’s so impactful that many people know it and can imitate it.
As one of Morning Musume’s signature songs, I’m sure it gets a lot of people pumped up when they hear it.
to the STAGEGENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE are wonderful with their catchy musical style, memorable choreography, and friendly charm.
Their uplifting, hope-filled cheer song “to the stage” is included on their first album, “GENERATIONS,” released in 2013.
It’s full of that GENERATIONS-like brightness and warmth, brimming with dreams as they’ve climbed up step by step.
The pleasant sense of speed gives you a boost and makes you want to dash off! Waving towels together at live shows is so much fun too—this is truly a song that lifts your spirits.
Feeling great!!mihimaru GT
Released in 2006, mihimaru GT’s 9th single “Kibun Jōjō ↑↑” is their signature song.
Its fresh, light, upbeat tune pairs perfectly with the vocalist’s cute voice.
Listening to this track makes you forget your worries and just want to dance!
