FateOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official Hige Dandism’s song “Shukumei” is addicting with its soaring high-toned vocals and beautiful melody.
Released after their smash hit “Pretender,” it was also the theme song for the summer high school baseball support program “Netto Koshien.” The track starts gently, as if speaking softly, then gradually builds and bursts into an energetic, exhilarating chorus.
Waking up to this song, with its tender piano lines and refreshing vibe, seems like the perfect way to start a pleasant day.

BirdmanSEKAI NO OWARI
From fantastical melodies to messages that capture everyday moments, the co-ed four-piece band SEKAI NO OWARI continues to release one-of-a-kind music shaped by their expansive worldview.
This song, included on their fifth major album “scent of memory,” was chosen as the theme for the TV information program “Mezamashi 8.” Its upbeat melody that evokes a brand-new morning and its message that tomorrow will come no matter what make it perfect for listening first thing in the day.
It’s a recommended wake-up song that will add a refreshing touch to your usual morning.
Dance Dance DanceMr.Children
When you think of Mr.
Children, their fresh, pleasant, and catchy tunes and richly nuanced ballads are popular, but this song is a bit different from their usual style! The funky, cool guitar riff and the groovy drum phrases that make it stand out are insanely cool! It’s a high-energy track that’s unlike their usual vibe, and it feels like it could snap you awake even on the sleepiest morning!
sparkleFuji Kaze
This is the eighth digital single by singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, who’s taking the J-POP scene by storm with hooks in Okayama dialect used effectively within standard Japanese and songs that reflect a wide-ranging musical background.
Written specifically as the CM song for Honda’s VEZEL, its four-on-the-floor beat and exhilarating chorus conjure a sense of driving.
With its refreshing, poppy vibe, it could serve as the perfect BGM to help those who struggle to get up in the morning start their day feeling good.
A dance number that brightly colors the beginning of your day—ideal as an alarm.
It’s nothing at all.Fuji Kaze
Don’t you feel that this song by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze has an intro that’s perfect for waking up, almost like the start of a stage play? What’s more, the way it develops from the intro—with the accompaniment gradually layering in—fits the condition of a “song that builds up gradually.” People often imagine something fresh and breezy for morning listening, but with its powerful sound and lyrics, this is a track that can boost your spirits from the morning with an “All right, let’s do this!” mindset.
It’s okayRADWIMPS
The anime film Weathering with You was a huge hit.
RADWIMPS handled the main theme and all the songs featured in the film.
Their song “Daijoubu” (“It’s All Right”) also plays in the movie and plays an important role.
The word in the title, “daijoubu,” is like a magic word—people use it in all kinds of situations.
It’s a song filled tightly with kindness, a great love song that feels right to anyone who listens.
Instead of waking up and dwelling on gloomy thoughts, this track refreshes you and makes you feel like it’d be nice to spend the day being kind to someone.
Love Words IVDECO*27
Who’s the first person you think of when you wake up in the morning? Start your day refreshed with a love-tinged Vocaloid track! This song by DECO*27, a popular Vocaloid producer who also writes for famous artists, was released in 2022.
It’s a colorful, poppy number with dazzling sound work.
I just introduced it as a love song, but in reality it’s a thank-you song from DECO*27 to his fans.
That said, the lyrics’ world and the cuteness of the vocals have a sweet-and-sour feel—like when you’re thinking about someone you like! Make this song the soundtrack to your perfect morning!
