Moving Western songs recommended for junior high school students: world masterpieces and popular songs (1–10)
I’m yoursJason Mraz
Coldplay, with four members who are sons of teachers, is the most successful band of the 2000s.
Many people have probably heard this song, their signature track and the one that gets the biggest reaction at live shows.
It builds gradually from its striking, choppy intro and carries you to a vast place.
It’s grand-scale rock, yet the sound is incredibly delicate.
Love yourselfLuis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber
A global idol whose signature song even appeared in Japanese commercials, Justin delivers not only assured, pleasing vocals but also cutting-edge sound thanks to one of the world’s top producer teams.
There were times when his youth made people worry about how far he could go, but he’s overcome that.
His upcoming performances in Japan are likely to become legendary.
I’m not in love10cc
This song is nothing short of miraculous.
As a piece of ’70s electropop, I doubt there’s another track that has stayed this fresh without feeling dated.
Wrapped in an unhurried flow that makes you wish it could last forever, it almost feels—if I may exaggerate—as though you can sense the cosmos.
The pinnacle of spacey sound.
Like a Rolling StoneBob Dylan
Bob Dylan is a great figure who changed his musical style with the times and even went on to win the Nobel Prize.
This song, born when he shifted from folk to rock, is a masterpiece that has the power to cut to the heart of the social climate in any era.
Take a bowRihanna
Rihanna has many edgy, danceable tracks, but this song is a popular one with a beautiful melody.
It also appeals to women, and many young people have probably heard it.
Being from Barbados in the Caribbean, her musicality is wide-ranging and she has a distinctive sense of rhythm.
A songstress I’d love to hear sing more ballads.
