[2026] Convenient BGM for Learning English | Summary

1/1Brian Eno

Brian Eno – 1/1

Since we’re talking about BGM for studying, it’s best to avoid anything too stimulating, right? I’ve had the experience of getting distracted by the music and before I knew it, I was humming along.

At times like that, how about tracks by Brian Eno, a pioneer of the genre known as ambient music—“kankyō ongaku” in Japanese? With ambient music that feels less like something you listen to and more like something that simply exists there, as if you were in nature, it seems like you can boost your concentration.

For cafes and restaurants, I recommend “Relaxing Jazz Piano Radio – Slow Jazz Music – 24/7 Live Stream – Music For Work & Study.” Its quiet slow jazz offers a soothing, captivating melody that eases the fatigue of our hectic society.

It works in offices too, though it might make you a bit sleepy.

Go Back HomeFKJ

Go Back Home

It’s a mellow, sexy, and mood-rich ambient track that’s so characteristic of him—truly chill.

Breaking out on social media as part of the chillwave genre, he’s influenced many artists in Japan as well.

FKJ, who’s highly regarded as an exceptional talent in the scene, generally creates calm tracks that unfold with slow tempos and beautiful soundscapes.

Songs like this work great as background music, and I think they’re most effective when played at a moderate volume.

Give it a try!

Late OctoberHarold Budd

Late October (2005 Digital Remaster)

If you’re someone who prefers studying with music rather than in complete silence, I feel that the works of American pianist Harold Budd are perfect for studying.

Many of his pieces fall under what’s called “ambient music” or “drone music,” which evoke a sense of spaciousness, and their long, gently flowing tones throughout each track provide a relaxing effect.

This is a live stream of background music featuring an impressive, comfortable sub-bass loop.

The tracks included here have no lyrics at all—they’re purely instrumental—so they’re especially recommended if lyrics tend to distract you during workouts.

They’re great for solo jogging, fitness sessions at the gym, or as BGM in environments like startups with lots of younger people.

Whatever the setting, the songs are all up-tempo, so they’ll help you spend the moment in a fun, lively mood.
