When that happens, let’s scream together with this song.
Departure Numberyuzu
A track from Yuzu’s fifth album, Sumire.
It was featured in commercials for Kateikyōshi no Try (Try Group tutoring).
The song is about facing forward without yielding to doubt or giving up, gaining various things along the way, and aiming even higher.
Since it was written and composed by Iwasawa, it is one of the most difficult songs to sing.
Recommended for those who want to overcome challenges and further grow themselves.
Baka SurvivorUrufuruzu
Ulfuls’ 26th single.
It’s the theme song for the anime Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
Both the track and the music video were made with “stupidity” in mind, just like the title, and they have the flashy flair typical of Ulfuls.
The lyrics are extremely optimistic, saying, “Don’t overthink it—let’s survive.” There are parts where Tortoise sounds like he’s talking to you in Kansai dialect, which makes listeners feel as if he’s speaking directly to them.
Recommended for those who want to survive amid all kinds of people and ulterior motives.
COLORSUtada Hikaru
Not limited to this song, but the appeal of Hikaru Utada’s music lies in how relentlessly realistic the lyrics are, carried by a modern sound.
Though abstract, they precisely pierce the kind of sorrow that can save anyone’s heart.
This song, too, sings about the human heart that’s dyed in many colors.
WildflowerSuperfly
A track included on Superfly’s 10th single, “Wildflower & Cover Songs: Complete Best ‘TRACK 3’.” It served as the theme song for the drama GOLD.
The song depicts the powerful resilience of wildflowers thriving in the fields, reflecting the drama’s themes and characters.
Recommended for those who want to keep moving toward their goals without being swayed by their surroundings.
Let’s do our best.SMAP
When it comes to SMAP songs that give energy to a tired heart, it’s gotta be this one! No matter how perfect someone looks, nothing is perfect in every way.
Trying to be perfect yourself just wears you out—it’s okay to be a little uncool.
“Ganbarimashou” (Let’s do our best)!
Merry Christmas Mr. LawrenceSakamoto Ryuichi
A masterpiece that brilliantly fuses Eastern and Western musical elements, this film score was created by Ryuichi Sakamoto in 1983 and won the BAFTA Award for Best Original Music.
Its graceful pentatonic melody is interwoven with the delicate timbres of synthesizer and glass harp, bringing a gentle sense of expansiveness to the heart.
Re-arranged as a solo piano album titled “Coda,” the work also received high acclaim worldwide as the soundtrack to the film “Merry Christmas, Mr.
Lawrence.” Cherished by many artists, including Hikaru Utada and Sarah Brightman, this gem continues to offer profound emotion—an ideal, soothing background for quiet nights or moments when you wish to calm your mind.
