Songs I Want to Listen to When I'm Tired from Work (111–120)
Pin-heel SurferSCANDAL
SCANDAL’s 14th single.
Produced, written, and composed by Show Wada of TRICERATOPS.
Rather than living only by chasing dreams, the lyrics encourage giving your all to the present.
As the title suggests, it’s a message to working women.
Recommended for those who want to give their best in both love and work.
Wind of decaySendai Kamotsu
A track from Sendai Kamotsu’s third album, “Deko.” As the title suggests, it tells the story of Sendai Kamotsu (set as a shipping company) going bankrupt under the pressure of a recession.
Despite that theme, thanks to the band’s concept and visuals, the song turns out surprisingly positive.
Seeing someone having a harder time than yourself can make you realize you’re actually doing okay.
Recommended for those who want to blow away their fatigue and brighten their mood.
Far, far awayMakihara Noriyuki
This song, one of Noriyuki Makihara’s signature tracks, is popular not only as a cheer-up anthem but also as a graduation and farewell song.
If you take time to read the lyrics, you’ll see that the protagonist appears to be someone who has left their hometown and is working hard in Tokyo to pursue their dreams.
I’m sure many working adults can relate to that situation.
For those people, when work gets tough, listening to this song will bring to mind the faces of loved ones back home—friends and family—and help them reset with a “One more push!” It’s a highly recommended track to keep you going.
Good job.chanyu i
Singer-songwriter Chanyu-i, who has gained popularity mainly on social media, released “Otsukaresan” on New Year’s Eve 2021.
It was also chosen as the support song for the Ehime Marathon held on January 30, 2022.
With a fresh pop-rock sound, it’s crafted as an anthem cheering on people who live their lives earnestly each day.
The lyrics, which remind us that a smile is the strongest power, are uplifting too.
There are tough and painful times, but let’s listen to “Otsukaresan” and keep moving forward!
Working manPUFFY
PUFFY’s 22nd single.
A cover of “Unicorn,” the band led by producer Tamio Okuda.
It served as the theme song for the anime Hataraki Man.
The arrangement is poppier than the original.
It’s a poignant song about a man working in solitude while thinking of his girlfriend.
Recommended for those who can’t quit their job and can’t see their partner.
Everyone has a dream.rapuntsueru
An insert song from the Disney movie Tangled.
It’s a lively, fun musical number that sings about how everyone—no matter how scary or ugly their face may seem—has their own dream, and they don’t want to give it up!
Blink of YouthShiina Ringo
A track included on Ringo Sheena’s self-cover album “Gyakuyunyuu: Kohankoku” (Reimport: Port Authority).
It was originally a song she provided for Chiaki Kuriyama.
True to Ringo Sheena’s style, the lyrics are open to interpretation and can be difficult to parse, but the song is often performed at turning points, and its overall atmosphere conveys a sense of “ending.” Recommended for those who want to bid farewell to who they’ve been up to today and take a new step forward.
