We all want to spend every day happily, right? This is a song by TWICE, the K-pop idol group.

The lyrics celebrate the joy of being with someone special.
From the intro it’s bursting with energy, blowing away any trace of sleepiness.

nano-secondUVERworld
This is the 25th single by UVERworld, a six-member rock band whose name means “to go beyond our own world,” known for their overwhelming live performances with a modern rock sound.
Released with the tagline, “A dream that comes true easily is the second saddest thing after a dream that doesn’t,” the song delivers a powerful message carried by a heavy band sound and emotional saxophone that truly stirs the heart.
Listening to the straightforward vocals and band sound may remind many listeners of dreams and goals they had forgotten.
It’s a powerful wake-up song that pushes you forward on the path you believe in, especially when daily stress and worries about the future make it hard to get out of bed.
“Do my best” doesn’t mean anything.Nogizaka 46
Many people probably feel like listening to energetic idol songs when they wake up.
For you, I recommend Nogizaka46’s “~Do my best~ ja imi wa nai.” Its refreshing sound and upbeat, positive lyrics make it perfect for the morning.
It’ll help you start your day in a bright, cheerful mood.
IdeaHoshino Gen
A song I especially recommend as a wake-up tune is Gen Hoshino’s classic “Idea,” released in 2018.
Since it was used as the theme for the NHK morning drama “Half, Blue,” many people probably associate it with mornings.
Its danceable, uniquely floating sound somehow lightens the heart, and its gentle message, which embraces even the hard times, resonates deeply.
“Idea” is also filled with richness and hope that spark the imagination—perfect for mornings that begin with a cheerful “good morning!”

Even when you’re feeling vaguely down or anxious, “Blue Ambience” gives you a natural push forward.
It’s a collaboration between the vibrantly imaginative band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE and asmi.
The lyrics portray the struggles of love, youth, and growing up, and the almost-murmured vocal delivery feels deeply relatable.
Beyond the rhythmic chemistry of Omori and asmi’s duet, the sheer momentum of the sound itself makes you think, “I’ve gotta get up!” and gets you moving.
Hello,world!BUMP OF CHICKEN
Released in 2015, BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 24th single “Hello,world!” was written specifically as the opening theme for the anime Blood Blockade Battlefront.
Its lyrics evoke a grandeur that connects with the anime’s worldview, and the track delivers a piercing exhilaration and a sense of speed.
