If you’re looking for a refreshing rock song for your alarm, I recommend ‘She’ by 04 Limited Sazabys.
This track was created in collaboration with Kirin Lemon, so the freshness is guaranteed! It’s a piece that feels as fresh as a lemon, making it perfect for high schoolers in the midst of their youth who want to wake up feeling clear and energized.
AM11:00HY
This song, one of HY’s signature tracks, is also highly recommended as something to listen to when you wake up! The BPM is around 100, on the relaxed side, but still within the tempo range considered good for waking up.
The biggest reason I recommend this track is the beginning of the song.
It starts with a soft synth intro, followed by a clean, refreshing riff, and then Hideyuki Shinzato’s wonderfully fresh vocals in the first verse—perfect for the morning! Just like the title suggests, it’s ideal for those days off when you want to get up a little more slowly.
breakfastMrs. GREEN APPLE
A buoyant pop number that’s perfect for starting your day.
This track by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE rides on a refreshing melody, singing about the small shifts of the heart and forward-looking energy in everyday life.
Motoki Omori’s clear vocals and the vivid sound will give listeners courage.
Released in June 2025, it was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s morning information program “Sun! Shine” starting in March 2025.
If you listen when you’re ready to take on a challenge, it’s sure to give you a boost—and it’s great for a change of pace, too.

B’z’s absolutely exhilarating masterpiece “ultra soul.” Making this song your alarm is a no-brainer.
A top-tier rock tune brings peak hype—your sleeping heart will leap awake, and your blood will surge vibrantly through your body! If you listen to it in the morning, start from the intro; build the anticipation, and when you hit the chorus, at that shining part right after it, throw your fist in the air with that iconic shout and kick off your day with the most rockin’ wake-up ever!
Grab the airmilet
This highly recommended song to listen to when you wake up is by the talented singer milet.
With a BPM around 100—ideal for waking up—the arrangement layers in order: arpeggiated guitar in the intro, a restrained drum beat, and then the vocals.
The A verse progresses relatively quietly, and the chorus opens up into an expansive development that evokes a grand vista.
While the lyrics are mostly in English, the message is uplifting—something that can encourage you when you’re feeling down.
With its refreshing tone, it’s truly a perfect pick for the morning, packed with all the right elements!
