Songs I Want to Listen to When I'm Tired from Work (111–120)
Crystal StarKANA-BOON
KANA-BOON’s second single.
They also released a single with the same title during their indie days, and this version is a re-recording.
While the song urges oneself to keep going as before, it also honestly confronts the desire to run away.
However, in the chorus, the singer likens themselves to a crystalline star and speaks positively about the future.
Recommended for anyone struggling with who they want to become.
aluminaNIGHTMARE
A track included on Nightmare’s ninth single, “the WORLD / Alumina.” It served as the ending theme for the anime DEATH NOTE.
The song was written with the anime’s protagonist, Light Yagami, in mind, and its lyrics reflect his sense of justice and convictions.
It’s about fighting alone, believing that the ideals only you can hold are right.
Recommended for those who want to trust themselves and seize their ideals.
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.
