Western songs that high school students like: Classic and popular hits from overseas (111–120)
Marry The NightLady Gaga
It’s a hidden gem by an American pop star who’s extremely well-known in Japan.
The song showcases her signature cool sound and is a real mood booster.
I think even on sleepy mornings it’ll get you grooving, so I recommend it to high school students.
Not AgainStaind
It’s a song by a popular American progressive rock band.
Featuring their signature intense metal sound and a wistful, melancholic melody, it isn’t well-known, but any metal-loving high school student is sure to like it.
5. MärzMegaherz
They’re a popular German metal band.
They cover their entire bodies with crazed makeup, and, just as their look suggests, they play an extreme metal sound.
In this song, you can really enjoy the vocalist’s distinctive voice.
It’s not a famous track, but I recommend it to younger listeners, like high school students.

A powerful ballad characterized by a retro blues vibe with organ and guitar solo sounds.
It was released in 2016 by American singer Ariana Grande.
The track became a hit around the world and was nominated for a Grammy Award.
What The HellAvril Lavigne
An energetic song that powerfully expresses the hearts of young people seeking freedom.
Released in January 2011 as the lead single from Avril Lavigne’s fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby, it reached the top 20 around the world.
True to the artist often called the queen of pop punk, it features a catchy melody and a powerful vocal performance.
The lyrics positively sing about the desire to break free from constraints.
Belt it out and dance with your friends, and you’ll feel more energized to face tomorrow.
For high school students who want to live true to themselves, why not celebrate your youth with this song?
