A Tiny Bit of CourageFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
A classic among cheer-up songs! Its straightforwardness will surely fill you with motivation and courage.
It’s one of the signature tracks by the music group FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, released in 2007 as their fifth single.
The song was also used as an insert track in the film “The 700 Days’ War With Our Local Policeman.” The lyrics, which encourage you to keep pursuing your goals without giving up, really hit home.
It should resonate especially with those who are working hard away from their hometowns.

A track by the popular YouTuber group Fischer’s, featuring appealingly positive lyrics.
Its exuberantly bright vibe fills you with a sense of hope.
The bond with friends described in the lyrics is truly moving.
Even if things don’t go well no matter how hard you try, that’s exactly when you should lean on the friends around you, join forces, and get through it together!

Among [Alexandros]’s songs, Philosophy is one of the most upbeat and positive, a track that lifts our spirits.
They often write gentle, medium-tempo songs without sharp edges, don’t they? The lyrics are full of lines we can relate to.
The phrase at the end of the chorus—affirming that it’s okay to be who you are—really resonates, giving me words that strengthen my resolve.
It’s a song only they could sing, having stood on countless big stages, tasted setbacks, and led the Japanese rock scene.

The song “Suiheisen” (Horizon) was written by Iyori Shimizu after receiving letters from students who had been organizing the Inter-High School Championships, which were canceled due to COVID-19.
It drew attention because it was released on the very day that was supposed to be the opening ceremony.
It’s a supportive anthem dedicated to everyone who worked hard but never got the chance to show their abilities—one that understands their pain and gently stays by their side.
When you’re exhausted from crying over a reality you can’t accept, listen to this song and find the strength to keep trying, step by step.
Dreamerberii guddoman
This is a song chosen as the 2020 ABC High School Baseball Power Song, released digitally in 2020 by the music group Berry Goodman, known for tracks like “Lion” and “Right Stand.” Although it’s unusual for a cheer song to be slow-tempo, its grand sound unfolds gently, wrapping and soothing the hearts of those who are giving their all.
Listening to this track—which evokes teammates striving together and people pressing forward in the present without fixating on results—may quietly kindle a flame in many listeners’ hearts.
Diamondberii guddoman
BERRY GOODMAN is a three-member vocal group that delivers warm, heartfelt songs.
The song I’m introducing, “Diamond,” is a motivational anthem filled with real feelings, created by collecting messages and stories from people working hard in sports and turning them into lyrics.
It was also selected as the campaign song for the McDonald’s Tournament, a youth rubber baseball championship.
There are times when you practice every day with the baseball gear your parents bought you and still lose the game.
But this song teaches us that it’s precisely that effort that truly matters—a genuine classic.

When you’re going through a tough time, “Ashita” by Berry Goodman gently reaches out a hand, encouraging you to take things one step at a time without pushing yourself.
It’s included on their 2022 digital EP “Choberigu.” The song conveys the message that even when you can’t find hope for tomorrow or for the future beyond, you’ll be okay as long as you don’t forget to smile.
Smiling can be difficult when times are tough, but even if it’s just for a brief moment, managing a smile can help you feel hope for tomorrow—and a day will surely come when that hope returns.
It’s a song that makes you believe that.
