Classic and popular songs recommended for high school girls

First Love Killernozomi

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Noshi, who has gained popularity with her unconventional melodies and lyrics that particularly resonate with women.

Known for her genre-defying musical style, she releases songs with a different vibe from her previous work every time.

The piece she created in May 2024 could be described as a pop portrayal of the sweetness and bitterness of first love.

It’s a bittersweet story about being betrayed by someone you were infatuated with, ignoring warnings from friends and parents.

Still, we can’t help but empathize with the protagonist’s strength as she doesn’t give up and sets out to find her next love.

Even before its release, the song drew buzz on TikTok, with around 100,000 related videos posted.

It’s a cute yet slightly bitter cheer song, one that we especially want those troubled by love to hear.

Singer-songwriter Anbo Sakaguchi, who aspired to be a musician in elementary school and even worked as a radio DJ in high school.

Her 6th single “URL,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-, is delightful with its cute vocals and pop ensemble.

The lyrics tell the story of wanting to be able to go see the person you like right away, a feeling that resonates even more strongly thanks to the instantly imaginable phrase “URL,” especially for younger generations.

It’s an emotional number that brilliantly contrasts a timeless, universal longing for love with contemporary imagery.

A Clockwork DreamKeyakizaka46

Keyakizaka46 “Clockwork Dream” Short Ver.

It’s a song that vividly brings back a page of youth that everyone experiences—the farewell to a friend seen off on the station platform.

Sung by Keyakizaka46’s popular unit “Yui-chans,” this track was included on the single Glass wo Ware!, released in March 2018.

The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar delicately portray the distance between the city and one’s hometown, as well as a sense of loss for one’s dreams, as if a spring had suddenly unwound.

When you’re separated from your best friend and feel just a little lonely, this bittersweet yet warm melody may resonate in your heart.

It’s a work that softly stays by your side, as if to remind you that precious memories never fade, no matter how far apart you are.
