[Emotional BGM] Carefully selected masterpieces and popular tracks recommended for work and study! (61–70)
Black Magic WomanSantana
The smooth tone of the guitar and the gently blended vocals make it a classic that’s easy on the ears and doesn’t get in the way when you’re working.
Released in 1970, it’s one of Santana’s signature songs.
It was originally a song by the famous British band Fleetwood Mac, but Santana’s cover became a big hit.
Nagisa ModeratoKōsaka Masayoshi
Since his debut in 1971, he has been one of the guitarists representing Japan’s rock and fusion scenes, scoring hits with a variety of instrumental tracks.
He places greater emphasis on the coherence of the composition itself than on the improvisational sections within a piece, and his playing is said to be stylistically closer to rock without vocals rather than to jazz or fusion.
Take FiveDave Brubeck
This 5/4 time piece from the Dave Brubeck Quartet’s 1959 album “Time Out” might be familiar to some of you, as it was also used in a Takeda Alinamin V drink commercial.
Riding that swing beat, it feels like both work and study could really get moving.
AjaSteely Dan
This is the title track from Aja, released in 1977.
Beyond the album’s title, the cover even features a Japanese model, reflecting how closely the global music scene of that era was looking toward Japan.
It’s an artistic piece you can no longer experience in its original form.
SEA LINE “RIE”Kadamatsu Toshiki
Included on the first disc of Toshio Kadomatsu’s instrumental album.
Each track on this album is titled with a different woman’s name.
If there’s a song with your own name, it might give you a big boost in concentration from that track! (lol) Released in 1987, but the guitar tone hasn’t faded a bit.
In conclusion
Did you find that one song that makes you think, “If I play this while I work, I’ll get even more done”? Even when we say a piece is moving, the mood can vary—some songs brim with wistfulness, others feel grand and expansive.
It’s a good idea to switch things up depending on your mood and the task at hand.
May the power of music make your work and study time even more fulfilling.
