A wonderful classic

Recommended music for high school students to listen to during their commute

POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

On my crowded commuter train to school, I usually feel like I’m being crushed, but when I listen to this song, it makes me feel like I won’t be defeated.

Its powerful lyrics paired with strong rock ’n’ roll give me a push to do my best for the day, almost as if they’re sending me off to school.

Sakanaction – Aruku Around (MUSIC VIDEO) - BEST ALBUM “Fish Encyclopedia” (3/28 release) -

It’s a perfect track for people who walk to school.

It might be tough if you keep walking in step with the song, but the music video is excellent, and if you commute alongside Ichiro Yamaguchi as he keeps walking, the tempo and groove are so good it feels like you’d get to school in no time.
