Family photoYoshida Yamada
This song paints a warm portrait of family bonds, spun from a single photograph filled with childhood memories.
Told from a child’s perspective, each everyday scene—like the joy of a new bicycle or tear stains on a park bench—brims with memories anyone can relate to.
While it poignantly conveys the absence of the father behind the camera, it never dwells in sorrow; instead, Yoshida Yamada gently sing a world suffused with warmth.
Released in October 2024, the piece was also chosen as the theme song for RKK Kumamoto Broadcasting’s “Evening Live Getsukin!”, resonating with many through its heartwarming acoustic sound.
On nights when you come home tired from work, listening as you look through family photos will likely stir fond memories and renew your strength for tomorrow.
Oh Happy DayTenshi ni Rabusongu o 2
This is a classic gospel song that became instantly famous through the human drama film “Sister Act 2.” Gospel is actually very free: as long as it conveys a prayerful heart toward God and the lyrics fit that spirit, even a hip-hop-style track is fine—and dancing is welcome, too!
If we are to speak, then of the future…Keyakizaka46

But there are also plenty of things that won’t change no matter how much you dwell on them.
In this song by Keyakizaka46—known for its powerful, deeply moving lyrics—the message is to forget what’s already happened and focus on what lies ahead! As you read the lyrics, you’ll find lines that really strike a chord, and they’re sure to blow away your gloom and lift you into a positive mindset.
Tomorrow will surely be a good day.Takahashi Yuu
If you’re working hard every day, there are bound to be days like, “I was so busy today…” or “I made a huge mistake today….” On days when you’re completely worn out from work, I recommend this signature song by Yu Takahashi.
The story depicted in the lyrics conveys the message that even the unpleasant things that happen to you are surely the seeds of good things to come.
Maybe today was tough at work for you too, but that, too, is surely a seed for something good that lies ahead.
Let this song help you relax, and let’s do our best again tomorrow!
Midnight ExpresswayFurawā Kanpanīzu
This is “Shinya Kousoku (Midnight Highway)” by Flower Companyz.
The powerful message packed into its simple rock sound pierces straight through the heart.
There are more people than you might think who’ve felt like giving up on life.
Maybe you’ve done something you can’t take back, or faced something unbearably sad.
In those moments, please don’t give up—keep going.
This song will surely support your heart.
