[2026] Convenient BGM for Learning English | Summary
The most important thing in learning English is knowing vocabulary.
No matter how much you study listening or grammar, if you don’t know the words, you can’t put it into practice.
Vocabulary is extremely important, but listening can be said to be the next most important element after vocabulary.
This time, I’ve selected some recommended background music (BGM) for English listening.

Years of Pilgrimage, First Year: From Switzerland – HomesicknessFranz Liszt
This track pairs well with reading; its meltingly smooth piano tones feel natural to the body.
Even if you’re not very familiar with classical music, you can simply let it play in the background and enjoy its pleasures—it’s perfect for studying, too.
Circus NightNanao Tabito
It’s a uniquely Nanao Tabito sound that only he can create, with vocals that resonate beautifully through a studying body—an incredibly pleasant track.
At six minutes, it’s on the longer side, but while you’re studying it flies by, and you might find yourself hitting repeat, wanting to hear a little more.
Howl’s Moving CastleHisaishi Joe
This song, which is also the theme for Studio Ghibli’s popular film Howl’s Moving Castle, has a slow tempo and evokes a sense of grand scale.
It also carries a nostalgic feel, helping you study in a calm, relaxed state.
Love makes you beautiful.Ōhashi Torio
This is a song that quickly gained widespread recognition after being featured in a commercial.
The harmony between the lead vocal and the backing chorus is incredibly pleasant, drawing you in as you listen.
The falsetto isn’t overbearing, and it gives a swift boost to your focus—your pen might just start flying across the page.
Black Orpheus
This song, for instance, is surely what everyone imagines when they think of easy listening.
The restrained yet properly engaging piano is a thoroughgoing display of craftsmanship, deliberately arranged so it never gets in the way.
It’s perfect to put on when you want to concentrate, like when studying for exams.

bitches broken heartsBillie Eilish
The title might sound a bit indecent, but the vibe is calm, and I think it works well as background music.
On the other hand, it might not be ideal for people who have a deep understanding of English.
Billie Eilish, the American singer-songwriter known for her whispery vocal style, recorded this track before her big breakthrough—in other words, pre-Bad Guy.
It’s chill and mysterious, yet it also has a mellow feel that’s really lovely.
If you’re even a little bit of a fan, give it a listen.
