Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Blue and Summer

This song is the very definition of youth—Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Ao to Natsu.” When it comes to classic youth anthems, this one is always mentioned.

With lyrics that evoke a perfectly clear blue sky and a palpable sense of speed, every part of it screams youth, but the way the chorus explodes in particular is enough to make your heart burn.

The song was also written for the 2018 film “Aonatsu: Kimi ni Koi Shita 30-nichi” (Blue Summer: The 30 Days I Fell in Love), and it perfectly matches the love story.

M!LK – Aono Oto (Official Music Video)

A song packed with a positive message: you can feel the thrill of youth as many times as you want, depending on you.

Sung by M!LK, this track was released as a single in July 2025 as the tie-in song for a Sea Breeze commercial featuring member Hayato Sano.

The sparkle of summer and the exhilaration of sprinting through the same moments with friends are expressed refreshingly over a driving, fast-paced sound.

Adolescence is a time when emotions swing wildly—anxiety, jealousy, and more.

You may clash with teammates in club activities and end up deeply troubled.

Listen to this song at times like that, and you’ll feel a powerful push: even now, your future can change if you choose to make it happen.

It’s a classic youth anthem we want everyone striving earnestly toward their dreams to hear.

[Refreshing] Adolescent Boys and Girls – Tried Singing ver. Sou

Vocalist Sou, who emerged from the online scene, captivates many listeners with a voice brimming with translucence.

This piece is a cover track produced by Vocaloid producer Sunatsubu, included on the album “Suisho Regulus,” released in December 2015.

It brilliantly conveys the twisted knots of romantic feelings and the restless urgency unique to those unstable times when heart and body fall out of sync, all set to a light, poppy sound.

It’s a song we especially recommend to teens who feel muddled—unsure where the arrow of affection is pointing and buffeted by their own emotions.

Sou’s clear voice, still tinged with a hint of youth, gently enfolds those inexpressible impulses and confusions.

There’s also a memorable anecdote that he intentionally made the melody difficult to sing in order to infuse it with the responsibility and pain of giving your all.

It’s an anthem you’ll want to listen to when you feel lost on your way up the steps to adulthood—one that evokes the solitude of agonizing alone in your room and the courage to take a step into a bigger world.

Singer-songwriter Koresawa, who wins wide empathy with down-to-earth lyrics and catchy melodies.

This track, included on the EP “Atashi no Koibito E.P,” released in November 2025, was written as the campaign song for SS Pharmaceutical’s “Omamori EVE.” The words, woven from surveys of high school students actively involved in club activities, capture the earnest feelings that arise within limited time.

A slightly wistful yet forward-looking message presses on the heart, as the perspective of a former self who once feared the end of the teenage years intersects with the gaze of an adult looking back.

It’s a dazzling, warm pop tune we hope not only those in the thick of their youth right now will hear, but also anyone who fondly remembers those days.

It’s a track we especially hope students—those who feel a sense of urgency and incompleteness within limited time, like the moments just before the chime or chats with friends—will give a listen to.
