Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Since their debut in 1984, every release has been a massive hit, racking up sales that have etched their name into music history.

Even beyond the 2020s, BON JOVI remains one of the most famous rock bands in the world, still actively performing.

In Japan in particular, they’ve enjoyed strong popularity since their early days, and are known for the deep bond that connects the band and their fans.

In this article, we’ve gathered BON JOVI’s signature tracks—timeless classics and fan favorites, both old and new—that have continued to be loved across generations.

Whether you’re new to Bon Jovi or someone who used to listen back in the day, we hope you enjoy!

This House Is Not For SaleBon Jovi

They’re a quintessential American hard rock band.

Of course, their songs are awesome, but John, the vocalist who’s nearly 60, is still as cool as ever.

Plus, the band has great chemistry, and watching their live footage always leaves me with a warm, happy feeling.

A song packed with an ’80s vibe from Slippery When Wet, which cemented their popularity.

The original album cover features a simple design with the title traced by Jon’s finger on a wet garbage can, but the Japanese version was changed to a close-up image of a woman’s chest wearing a yellow T-shirt.

Included on New Jersey, the album that propelled the band to global stardom.

A slow-tempo track that develops powerfully from a quiet intro, it’s a masterpiece that maximally showcases the band’s hallmark strengths: superb harmonies and a grand sense of scale.

Midway through, Richie slips in a guitar riff that evokes Eric Clapton.
