GREEN APPLE’s songs are like the sun—listening to them clears your heart and brightens your mood.
Released in October 2019, this track celebrates the beauty of living true to yourself.
Carried by grand sound and powerful vocals, this anthem sings of self-affirmation and the courage to face forward.
It gained attention as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament and as a Calorie Mate commercial track.
When you’re feeling down or on the verge of losing confidence, give it a listen—it will surely give you a gentle push forward.
Everyday lifeOfisharu Higedan Dism
Even when nothing visibly upsetting has happened, there are times when your mood just sinks for no clear reason, right? Released in September 2023 as the theme song for the news program “news zero,” this track features lyrics that lay bare the fragile feelings in everyday life—something everyone can relate to—woven with vocalist Satoshi Fujiwara’s own experiences as a working adult.
The down-to-earth, melodious sound, tinged with a touch of nostalgia, gently loosens the tension you’ve been carrying.
It’s a song that lightens your heart and makes you feel like you can face tomorrow just as you are.
guidelinesUru
I also recommend Kokoroe, which gently affirms failures and tough experiences.
This song was written by Uru specifically for the drama “Kazama Kokin — Kyōjō 0 —.” While reflecting the drama’s worldview, it conveys the message that failures and painful experiences later become assets.
Combined with his beautiful vocals, listening to it is sure to soothe your heart.
And later in the song, lyrics appear that give you another push forward, so you’ll finish listening with a positive mindset.
It’s a wonderful motivational song that refreshes you and helps you stay optimistic.

Philosophy[Alexandros]

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.
