ONEAimer
“ONE” is a triple A-side single released by Aimer in 2017.
It reached No.
2 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was used as the commercial song for JAL’s corporate ad featuring Japan’s curling team for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.
It’s a dance tune driven by EDM-style synths and beats that makes you feel happy as you listen.
The lyrics, which express a desire to always give your all, inspire motivation for work and study.
DiamondBUMP OF CHICKEN
Although it’s considered one of the less commercially successful songs released after their major-label debut, it has garnered steadfast support for its powerful message.
For those who are doing their best but not seeing results, I’d love for you to listen and reignite your inner strength.
The lyrics are excellent as well, likening one’s irreplaceable existence to a precious diamond.
If you struggle with self-affirmation and catch yourself thinking, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not,” this is a must-listen!
BeautifulnessBiSH
BiSH mainly works in punk rock.
When it comes to their cheer songs, “beautiful-sa” stands out.
It’s a track that likens life to a thorny path and carries the message that, although it’s tough, we should push through.
For fans, it’s also memorable as a song released on YouTube when concerts were canceled during the pandemic.
Be sure to check out that live footage—the performance is even more high-energy than the CD recording.
As many times as you likeDREAMS COME TRUE
Nando Demo is also a staple song for when you want to send encouragement.
It’s still fresh in our memories that in 2020 it was used as a message song for healthcare workers.
In fact, the song was originally written by DREAMS COME TRUE for the drama Emergency Room 24 Hours.
However, because of its powerful message, it came to be loved as a cheer song.
Since the chorus repeats the same phrase, it seems perfect for humming along together.
UR not aloneGReeeeN
GReeeeN has sung many cheer songs, and this one is their own “yell” anthem.
It’s also well-known as a song they provided to NEWS.
They later self-covered it, and it was included on their 2018 album UreD.
The strong, deliberate words and vocals really sink in.
Among the many songs that simply say “Do your best,” U R not alone is a lyric that keeps facing one’s own feelings and pushes forward.
It’s a song about rallying yourself.
Just when you feel like you can’t go on and are about to collapse, this masterpiece stirs your heart again.
Kyrie, Hymn of MercyKyrie (Aina Ji Endo)
The film “Kyrie no Uta,” starring Aina The End in her first leading role.
Its theme song, “Kyrie: Hymn of Mercy,” was produced by Takeshi Kobayashi, who is also active as an arranger.
The song portrays becoming stronger by accepting oneself during times when nothing goes right and you feel down.
Set against a band performance adorned with beautiful, resonant strings, her emotional vocals unfold.
It’s a number that sings of the resolve and courage to face tomorrow while confronting one’s past.
Along with its grand, expansive melody, please listen to this anthem that cheers on those who are giving their all.
Endless JourneyMr.Children
Since their major debut in 1992, Mr.
Children have remained at the forefront and kept their popularity, but in fact they once went on hiatus in 1997.
The song “Owarinaki Tabi” (Endless Journey) was released in 1998 when they resumed activities the following year.
It serves as an anthem that encourages people facing steep obstacles or embarking on new journeys, while also conveying the band’s own determination to make a fresh start.
