This song sings of peace with reggae’s distinctive laid-back rhythm and melody.
Even though it marks a new departure, today is just one day—and it’s a song that encourages us to live this day positively for the many days yet to come.
It’s the kind of song that only hedonistic funk and reggae can truly express.

This is Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ by Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.
The title, which suggests wanting to start something, is striking, and it’s the perfect song for an entrance ceremony where a new school life is about to begin.
The uptempo track paired with Michael’s high, powerful vocals is super cool—an entrance song that sets a stylish tone!

MUSE often has relatively dark themes and tones.
However, I think their melodic sense shines most in brighter songs.
Their sound design, which evokes new departures and fresh beginnings, is something I’d love to hear at an entrance ceremony.
While it doesn’t have much speed, it’s a track that leaves you feeling refreshed.
UnwrittenNatasha Bedingfield
A song whose melody, arrangement, and of course lyrics are all wonderful.
It feels like it encourages those who are anxious about starting a new life, telling them that the new story beginning here today is still a blank page.
It doesn’t just coddle you; it carries the message that only you can fill in that blank.
You Get What You GiveNew Radicals
A song that blows away any anxieties.
A simple beat, an irresistibly pop sound, and a distinctive, floating melody.
Just listening to it makes you feel happy.
It’s perfect for entrance ceremonies and the start of new days.
The ShowNiall Horan
A school entrance ceremony celebrates the first step into a new life that begins with the arrival of spring.
A perfect soundtrack for such a special day is the title track from Niall Horan’s new masterpiece The Show, released in 2023.
It’s a beautiful song that showcases Niall’s growth as a songwriter—a warm, heartfelt ballad that resonates with listeners.
His sincere reflections on life’s challenges and successes, and the delicate balance between them, will evoke deep empathy in those embarking on a new chapter.
Like the gentle sunshine of spring, it’s a highly recommended song to color the start of a new season.
