“Musume” is the song I want you to listen to when you need to fire yourself up.
Chosen as the theme for Kobe Women’s University’s commercial, this track is a slow ballad from the 2011 album “Chugurai no Hanashi.” It sings about parting with family and making a resolve as you step into a new life.
The occasional lines delivered in a strong tone carry messages of encouragement that hit straight to the heart.
If you’ve had similar experiences when you were young—say, during your student days—you’ll especially relate, and you might even find your eyes welling up as you recall your father’s and mother’s words.
“Musume,” and of course “Musuko,” is an empowering song that anyone moving toward the future can connect with.
Infinite tryShogo Sakamoto
Shogo Sakamoto is a singer-songwriter from Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture.
Before starting his music career, he built his acting resume with roles in the musical The Prince of Tennis and the historical drama Go: Hime-tachi no Sengoku.
He plays various instruments, including not only guitar but also piano, and creates his own music.
His 2017 major-label debut single was produced by Masaharu Fukuyama.
Perhaps influenced by his love for Porno Graffitti, his singing is crisp and articulate yet wrapped in a gentle, soft atmosphere.
Moonlight LegendMisae Takamatsu
The opening theme of the TV anime series Sailor Moon, which became a huge hit with its style of incorporating a boys’-favorite premise—where the protagonist transforms using special powers to fight evil alongside her friends—into a shoujo manga framework.
Its classical arrangement and delicate lyrics and melody, befitting an anime with a female lead, gained popularity alongside the show itself, reaching a level of recognition that people of the generation, regardless of gender, are likely to know.
The instantly recognizable look is also a cosplay favorite, and together with the song, it livens up Halloween night.
It’s a track you’ll want to play when you want to amp up the energy at parties or karaoke.
Infinite EmbraceYoko Takahashi
Yoko Takahashi, who once aspired to be an opera singer, has an exceptional command of her range from low to high notes; her technique is outstanding, and her expressive singing is extraordinary.
This ballad, Infinite Embrace, lets you fully savor the appeal of her voice.

Karasu is a three-piece band perfectly suited to words like “emo rock” and “surging shouts.” The members are Junichi Konno (vocals/guitar), Yuki Furuya (bass), and Shuta Chiba (drums).
Although they are based in Akita Prefecture, they’re active nationwide.
Their major-label debut single “Yume,” released in 2009, drew attention as the theme song for the TV drama Uramiya Honpo REBOOT, and it became a hot topic thanks in part to the show’s popularity.

Hatsune Miku’s vocals are striking—clear and pure, like flowing water.
It’s as if you’re dozing off and hearing a songstress’s voice drifting from afar.
When you’re a bit tired of reality, closing your eyes and listening makes you feel as though your heart is becoming clear and serene.
disgusting horror movieKoBowwa
KoBowwa, pronounced “Kobauwa,” was a four-piece alternative band that was active mainly around Shimokitazawa, Tokyo, and began their career in 2022.
Vocalist Keitaro Mori’s trembling, tearful voice left a strong impression, as if expressing the intense, ungovernable emotions of youth.
While the word “emotional” often suggests delicacy, their music also conveyed a solid, robust power.
The band has since disbanded.
