22

For everyone striving - school, exams, job search, work.

"22" is a J-Pop / encouragement song that gently nudges you forward. Written while facing my 22-year-old self, it turns honest feelings - doubt, urgency, and inner conflict - into plainspoken lyrics and a melody that is both gentle and powerful. Whether it's school club or sports practice, entrance exams, the job search, or work, the setting may differ, but this song stands with everyone giving their best right now. The title reads "nijūni / twenty-two." Beyond an age, the number carries a wish to end with a big, hard-won smile - the kind that says we made it. From early-morning commutes to school or work, to the moments before a test, on game day, or on the train to an interview - when nerves and hope mix - this track aims to deliver the courage to take one more step.
