Kenshi Yonezu – Plazma

The world of Kenshi Yonezu woven from imaginative melodies and innovative electronic sounds.

Set against the backdrop of space, this work—depicting life’s choices and fateful encounters—was released in January 2025 as the theme song for the animated film “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-.” It carries Yonezu’s signature delicate sensibility and straightforward passion, familiar from albums like “diorama” and “BOOTLEG.” Alongside its high-energy musicality, the lyrics powerfully convey the courage to step into new worlds and the drive to face the unknown, leaving a deep impression.

It’s a song I especially recommend to younger listeners who are determined to forge their own path.

LiSA『ReawakeR (feat. Felix of Stray Kids)』MUSiC CLiP

This is a collaborative piece by LiSA, known for her powerful vocals and energetic melodies, and Stray Kids’ Felix.

The lyrics, expressing the resolve to carve out one’s destiny and the determination of someone reborn, carry a message of challenge and growth.

Created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Solo Leveling Season 2 – Arise from the Shadow,” airing from January 2025, the song is composed by Hiroyuki Sawano, a leading figure in the industry.

With a masterful fusion of rock sounds and electronic elements, this track will strongly encourage middle school students who want to forge their own path.

RADWIMPS – Kanata Haruka [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS is one of the most popular bands in Japan.

Their catchy musical style, which tones down rock elements and aligns closely with J-pop, is consistently well-received by the general public.

Among RADWIMPS’ songs, the one I especially recommend for elementary school students is Kanata Haluka.

As students reach the upper grades, they’re likely to encounter more popular music like this.

The song features a simple enough melody that upper-grade students can certainly sing it, making it a great choice for class choral performances.

Deer-Colored DaysKanoko Noko90rank/position

Deer-Colored Days

In student communities, especially among elementary schoolers, there tends to be a stronger emphasis on how a song goes viral, the scale of that buzz, and the impact of the track itself, rather than just the quality of the music.

With that in mind, I recommend “Shika-iro Days.” It was released as the theme song for the popular anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan,” and it became a massive hit on social media thanks to its striking hook.

The song features a lot of conversational-style rap, and the vocal lines are kept light, resulting in a relatively narrow range.

As long as you set the key right, it should be easy for anyone—regardless of gender or whether their voice is changing—to sing it well.

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA91rank/position

LiSA “Gurenge” -MUSiC CLiP- (Anime “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” Tanjiro Kamado: Unwavering Resolve Arc Opening Theme)

It features a powerful rock sound and LiSA’s clear, crystalline vocals.

The lyrics portray the courage to face hardship and find hope amid battle, filled with a positive message that even elementary school students can relate to.

With a simple, easy-to-remember melody line and lyrics that express emotion straightforwardly, it’s beloved as a karaoke staple.

Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba from April 2019, it was also performed spectacularly at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen in December 2020.

Its singable vocal range and simple melody make it perfect for music classes and school events.

It’s also recommended for when you want to get excited with friends at karaoke or sing together with everyone.
