I Used to Believe Tomorrow Would Be Better

"I Used to Believe Tomorrow Would Be Better" is a bluesy, heartfelt Japanese punk-rock song contrasting an era when people believed in a more prosperous future with the uncertainty and stagnation felt by many today.

Evening shopping streets, families laughing together, and the belief that honest work would gradually improve everyday life-there was once a time when many people could naturally expect tomorrow, next year, and the future to be better than the present.

Today, stagnant wages, rising financial burdens, and widening inequality have made it increasingly difficult, especially for younger generations, to imagine a hopeful future. Rather than simply romanticizing the past, the song asks why that sense of possibility was lost and expresses a desire to rebuild a society where people can once again believe that tomorrow will be better.

Carried by a melancholic harmonica, bluesy guitars, and an emotional male vocal, the track connects memories of the past with a sincere prayer for the future.
