Recommended songs for college students: Japanese classics and popular hits (41–50)

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48

Fortune Cookie in LoveAKB48

It’s a dance song by the hugely popular idol group AKB48.

The dance is also a big hit for karaoke and party entertainment, and girls dancing to it look adorable—great for catching the attention of someone you like.

I think it’s not a bad idea to use the dance to interact with the opposite sex and even lead to a confession.

Crazy about youEXILE

EXILE / Ki・mi・ni・mu・chu
Crazy about youEXILE

It’s a song that perfectly matches the vibe of a college student who’s head over heels for a girl and wants to do all sorts of things for her, but has no money so none of the problems get solved—yet forgets all that and starts having fun when he gets together with friends and drinks.

GO!!!FLOW

FLOW 'GO!!! ~15th Anniversary ver.~' (Music Video Full Ver. with Commentary)
GO!!!FLOW

It’s famous as an opening theme for the hugely popular anime NARUTO, and it’s perfect for getting pumped up.

Highly recommended when you want to liven up the mood at karaoke in an instant.

Even when you’re feeling down, its positive lyrics give you momentum and cheer you on.

DON’T WORRY BE HAPPYMONGOL800

The lyrics are simple, but the song sends a strong message to spend time happily with your lover without fretting.

When you have too much time, you end up thinking about things you don’t need to, but this song blows away that negativity and reminds you to focus on your own happiness.

N3W5 – Weeeek (Hey! Hey! Hey! – 05.11.2007)

The theme is a week, and while each day changes rapidly and students spend their weeks busy with reports, part-time jobs, and club activities, the weekend is their only time to rest.

But this is a song that, when you listen to it as you start to feel down about school beginning again on Monday, fills you with the motivation to tackle the new week.

I want to eat sushi feat. soy sauceORANGE RANGE

ORANGE RANGE – I Want to Eat SUSHI feat. Soy Sauce | Trailer
I want to eat sushi feat. soy sauceORANGE RANGE

It’s a song that’s been trending mainly online.

The lyrics are simple, endlessly repeating the desire to eat sushi, but it has a good rhythm and is easy to sing.

Among students, catchy, addictive tracks often become inside favorites, and they’re fun to use as a joke at karaoke or in everyday life, so I recommend it.

Don’t give upZARD

Don't Give Up – ZARD (Full)

It’s famous for playing during the 24-Hour TV charity marathon, but the lyrics themselves apply to anyone.

It’s a classic that encourages you not to give up on chasing your dreams and to keep going.

I think it’s great to play this song during the final push of job hunting or assignments to fire yourself up.
