It’s a song by the rock band [Alexandros] that seems to affirm moving forward in your own way.
It was created for NHK’s one-time-only event “18 Fes,” where 1,000 18-year-olds and artists perform together.
While it proceeds at a calm tempo, the sound builds strength toward the chorus, evoking a sense of being roused and inspired.
It’s a song that offers courage—standing by those who feel discouraged after failure, while encouraging them to believe in themselves and head toward the future.
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
Even though you’ve worked so hard up to now… There are moments when, despite all the unseen effort you’ve put in, you can’t get the results you hoped for and end up feeling this way.
Society often says, “If you don’t produce results, it’s meaningless,” and when things don’t go as planned, you might blame yourself and feel discouraged.
But the lyrics of this song acknowledge and affirm the steady effort you’ve been building, encouraging you to keep pushing forward just as you are.
It’s a song I want you to listen to when your heart feels like it’s about to break on the way to your goal.
Like tonight’s moonElefanto Kashimashi
A song by Elephant Kashimashi that wraps you up with a warmth only a man can offer when you’re feeling down.
It was used as the theme song for the drama “Tsuki no Kagayaku Yoru Dakara” (Because It’s a Moonlit Night).
The band’s usual over-the-top intensity is toned down here, but even in its restraint there’s a fervor that’s sure to lift your spirits.
The unreasonable things at work or school, the unfairness of everyday life, the moments that make you want to shout “Damn it!”—the frustrated tears you shed because of them will definitely become your strength someday and make you shine.
Listening to lyrics that carry that belief will make you feel, “I won’t be beaten!”

Twenty-nine, thirtykuriipuhaipe
Do you ever feel bored because every day is just the same routine, and even when you try your best it doesn’t pay off—those feelings that hit you from time to time when you’re working? I think everyone sometimes feels like they’re being left behind and gets depressed.
CreepHyp’s song “Twenty-Nine, Thirty” is a track many people can relate to, with lyrics that lay bare those lousy feelings and what’s going on inside your heart.
Nothing dramatic will change, but by the time you finish listening, it feels like something has shifted—just a little—and that you might be able to change, too.
Farewell, tearsKetsumeishi
This song, “Saraba Namida” by Ketsumeishi—the most emotional J-hip hop group in Japan—is a pep song for modern people who tend to push themselves with the idea that “you shouldn’t cry.” As adults, we don’t often get praised with “You’ve been working hard lately,” do we? At times like that, please praise yourself.
This song will surely comfort someone like you!
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
Sora mo Toberu Hazu is a song that brings light to a work-weary heart and gives you the courage to keep moving forward no matter what.
Its lyrics carry messages of dreams and hope, and just hearing them can fill you with the energy to push on.
If you’re facing difficulties right now, this track is highly recommended.
Spitz’s warm melodies are sure to ease everyday stress.
When you find yourself standing still, why not listen to Sora mo Toberu Hazu and gently lighten your step as you regain the strength to try again?

When it comes to songs that gently stay by the side of those tired of trying so hard, “Ashita” (“Tomorrow”) comes to mind.
Released in 2022 by the music group Beverly Goodman, known for delivering songs about life and love to their listeners, it features vocals filled with kindness and compassion over a hip-hop-inspired beat.
It’s a track that accepts those moments when you feel down or overcome by loneliness and gives you the courage to move forward.
Why not let yourself be soothed by lyrics that seem to whisper, “It’s okay to cry”?
