Perfect Day310
Born from scenes of refreshing mornings and dusky twilights, this song gently portrays the special moments hidden in everyday life.
310’s crystal-clear vocals deliver a warm message of encouragement to everyone working hard each day.
The track has been available since January 2025 as the opening theme for the anime “I’m the Guild Receptionist, but I Don’t Like Overtime, So I’m Going to Solo the Boss.” Composed by Ryutaro Fujinaga of Elements Garden, the piece beautifully blends a driving rock sound with a pure, graceful melody, tenderly resonating with listeners.
It’s the perfect song for when you’re worn out from work or need energy for tomorrow.
For those giving their all every day, it’s sure to bring comfort and courage.
Progresskōkua
When you listen to this song, won’t you feel motivated even for work you’ve grown to dislike? That’s right—this song is an incredibly famous track, known as the theme for NHK’s documentary program “Professional: Shigoto no Ryugi,” and it makes you want to speak like a true professional, just like the protagonists who appear on the show (lol).
By listening to it, you might find yourself becoming stoically positive.
It’s a song that helps you face yourself, and take a fresh look at both your work and who you are.
Tomorrow as wellSHISHAMO
SHISHAMO is known for their catchy, high-energy pop songs.
They’re a three-member girls’ band that’s become a regular at festivals lately.
Their song “Ashita mo” was used in an NTT Docomo commercial, so many people may have discovered them through that.
While the band often gives off a bursting-with-energy vibe, the character in this song seems worn out from working hard every day.
Even so, the positive chorus blows that fatigue away, making this an anthem that cheers on working people with plenty of relatable moments throughout.

Zarame, a “nega-posi” singer-songwriter known for her gentle, heartfelt vocals and warming messages, delivers a powerful anthem about thinking of someone special.
Active with theme songs for TV anime and dramas, she sings with strength about holding someone in your heart.
This work is an up-tempo rock number filled with feelings for a loved one, even across distance.
It has been selected as the ending theme for the second cour of the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story – Kyoto Upheaval, airing from January 2025, conveying a straightforward devotion to someone you love.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you’re worn out after a day’s work, or when someone dear who lives far away comes to mind.
normalConton Candy
It’s a song that wraps you in warm words and a soothing melody, gently accompanying days spent busy with work and life.
Conton Candy tenderly sings about the small happinesses found in everyday life and the importance of our connections with others.
Created as the ending theme for the TV anime “SAKAMOTO DAYS,” which aired in January 2025, the piece is marked by a melt-pop style with a driving feel and sweet, heartrending vocals.
In step with the anime’s story, it carefully portrays the characters’ feelings and bonds.
It’s a track I especially recommend to those seeking comfort for a tired heart or wanting to reaffirm their feelings for someone important.
At all times.Makihara Noriyuki
For those who have forgotten their true selves because of various obligations and pressures, Noriyuki Makihara’s “Donna Toki mo” teaches the importance of living authentically.
Released in 1991, the song was used as the theme for the drama “No Problems on the Employment Front.” There are times you might feel rushed by everything, or blame yourself for not being able to live skillfully.
But this song encourages you to accept that that’s also who you are, relax your shoulders, and find the courage to live positively, true to yourself.

It’s a piece whose delicate melody, as if capturing a quiet winter night, resonates in the heart.

Set to be included on the album “MOLTING AND DANCING,” scheduled for release on January 29, 2025, this track envelops you in a gentle atmosphere that soothes the fatigue of everyday life.
The guitar’s transparent tone and the vocals woven over a relaxed rhythm leave a pure, beautiful impression like a winter night sky.
