Thunderous applauseLiSA

A rock song I’d like to introduce for boosting fighting spirit is “Issei no Kassai.” It’s a track LiSA wrote specifically as a theme song for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Set to an up-tempo sound, the lyrics express the mindset of athletes driving toward victory.
It also portrays the negative feelings players face before a match, making it relatable while lifting your energy.
Another highlight is the sampling of soccer chants, which makes it easy to join in and shout along.
Make It Out AliveONE OK ROCK

ONE OK ROCK is a four-piece rock band whose commanding, rock-solid vocals and modern rock sound—while rooted in old-school traditions—have earned them high praise both in Japan and overseas.
Their 11th digital-only single, “Make It Out Alive,” chosen as a tie-in track for the smartphone app Monster Hunter Now, opens with powerful vocals and a four-on-the-floor beat that evokes a sense of forward momentum.
Its heavy rock sound blasts away the morning blues and amps you up for your commute to work or school.
With cool English lyrics that deliver a message of pushing forward without giving up, it’s a rock tune that gives you the courage to rise again.
GuaranaSukima Switch

This is an ultra-catchy cheer-up song dedicated to guys like that.
It carries the message: don’t try to act cool—just tell her how you feel.
In the music video, the girl dancing in a sailor-style school uniform is lively and makes a strong impression.
REALiZELiSA

“REALiZE,” the theme song for the Japanese-dubbed version of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
It’s a straightforward rock tune that highlights LiSA’s sharp, powerful vocals.
The high-speed number vividly conjures images of Spider-Man soaring through the air, and just listening to it feels like a great way to blow off steam.
The guitar riffs ringing to the rhythm, the hefty, dynamic sound, and the catchy melody all feel great—and it’s perfect for karaoke, too!
idolYOASOBI

YOASOBI’s “Idol,” which became a worldwide hit.
It’s the opening theme for the TV anime Oshi no Ko, and its electronic sound blends hip-hop and gospel elements, with Ikura’s poppy, cute vocals adding a fresh twist.
An irresistibly catchy chorus, light trap-style rap, and idol-song-style call-and-response make it a sparkling, high-energy track.
Perfect for an energy boost on your commute to school or work—and highly recommended for karaoke too!
Love in AmericaMaximum the Hormone

Maximum the Hormone is a four-piece rock band that keeps fans fired up with aggressive live performances showcasing a loud, hard-hitting rock sound.
Their track “Koi no America,” which was first released exclusively at “Hara-Peko Favoritism Member Stores” — eateries where fans work — became a hot topic for its unprecedented rollout: the song title and lyrics were kept under wraps before release, and there was no general distribution.
Its arrangement evokes various styles of Western rock while cranking up the energy with Maximum the Hormone’s signature ensemble.
It’s a superb rock tune that invites you to listen while imagining which bands it’s paying homage to.
