Sung by WANIMA, a three-piece band from Kumamoto, “Yatte Miyou” is an outrageously positive song that teaches the importance of taking on challenges without fearing failure.
Released for digital distribution in January 2017, it became a major talking point at home as the CM song for au’s “Santaro” series.

Young adultNEW!makaroni enpitsu
For those who feel lonely at night or anxious about the future, I recommend the lead track from the mini-album “season.” Released by Macaroni Enpitsu in 2019, it was chosen as the opening theme for episode 2 of TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “I Dreamed of That Girl.” It’s also included on the 2020 album “hope.” With lyrics themed around “unconditional love,” the song deeply resonates with university students who may feel isolated in new environments.
Its mid-tempo sound, featuring piano and synthesizer, conveys warmth and hope.
The affirming words sung by vocalist Hattori gently support everyone starting a new chapter in life.
Answer of JealousyNEW!HONEY WORKS
A song and novel series from the Confession Executive Committee: Love Series featuring the characters Sota Mochizuki and Akari Hayasaka as the main focus.
It tells the story of Sota’s unrequited love for Akari and the frustrating journey until Akari realizes her own feelings.
The novel was published as the second installment of the Confession Rehearsal series, and it also tells the story of the main characters from Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart., which was adapted into an anime.
Although it’s a male vocal song, the key is relatively high, making it quite easy for women to sing as well.
If you make good use of falsetto while singing, you can maintain a relaxed state and produce your voice more comfortably.
Promised ReunionNEW!Ashu
Speaking of March, it’s graduation season—so how about this one? It’s a track by Vocaloid producer Ashu, released in March 2025.
It’s also included on Minato Futaba’s official compilation album, “Futaba Mix 01.” A fast-paced rock tune, its lyrics vividly depict scenes from graduation day—classroom windows, cherry blossoms, words left unsaid—that you can’t help but relate to.
And Minato Futaba’s clear, transparent vocals really suit the bittersweet mood of the song.
baseballkururi
It’s a track inspired by the “Tenri Fanfare” that rekindles the electric atmosphere of a stadium.
It’s included on the album The Genius’s Love, released in April 2021.
Packed with Mr.
Kishida’s deep love of baseball, the lyrics name-drop past professional players and managers.
While it carries the uplifting feel of a fight song, it unfolds with a twisty band sound that’s quintessential Quruli.
Perfect for anyone who wants to savor that tingling excitement on the way to the ballpark.
Someday, the day of loveMitsui Yumiko
Yumiko Mitsui, a skilled singer known as the top disciple of Masaaki Hirao.
Released in April 1973, this work is a wistful song chosen as the ending theme for the TV period drama Hissatsu Shiokinin.
In the second installment of the series—famous for the first appearance of the popular character Mondō Nakamura—her vocals deepened the afterglow of the story and captured the hearts of many viewers.
The melody, which conveys a sense of helplessness that cannot be resolved by simple good-versus-evil and depicts a quietly burning passion, is deeply moving.
It sold over 120,000 copies at the time and was also well received on cable radio.
When you want to immerse yourself in the unique chiaroscuro of period dramas or spend a night with a song that touches the heart, why not savor it slowly?

If you’re looking for a lively, feel-good cheer song to brighten up your breakfast table, how about getting pumped with this track? Featured on AKB48’s single “Heavy Rotation,” released in August 2010, this song became a household favorite as the CM song for Kagome’s “Yasai Ichinichi Kore Ippon.” The members singing in uniquely designed vegetable costumes caused quite a stir at the time.
Its rhythmic chants and catchy melody will have you humming along before you know it.
It’s the perfect song to dance to with your kids or to charge up your energy at the start of the day!
