CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!Justin Timberlake

This is a single by Justin Timberlake, who has gained fans in the U.S.
as both a singer and an actor.
It’s an upbeat, refreshing track that lifts your spirits just by listening.
The music video’s dance has also become popular with people of all ages.
Shout Out to My ExLittle Mix

I chose it because it’s a song that blows away depression.
Watching them sing with all their might and perform with raw emotion makes me feel ashamed of my gloomy self, and I naturally start to feel energized.
Or, it’s so dazzling that it makes me even more depressed—one or the other.
HelloAdele

I’m impressed—it’s just like Adele to create songs that draw listeners in.
The melodies are so good that even women can imitate and sing along.
They’re easy to understand, so you find yourself humming as you listen.
It’s great that even middle schoolers can enjoy them.
Her slightly husky voice is wonderful.
I Don’t Want to Miss a ThingAerosmith

They’re a very famous rock band, and the moment I heard them I thought they were geniuses.
The phrase “god of rock” might even suit them.
Once you listen, you become captivated by him.
My bandmates in middle school often covered their songs.
It’s difficult, but I love it.
I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys

This one is famous too, and I really love the chorus and the part right after it—it’s so cool, and I used to listen to it a lot.
There’s a time when you start admiring bands, and as a middle schooler you end up loving this kind of music and can memorize it quickly.
You really get into Western music.
It’s slow and easy to sing.
Have a nice dayBon Jovi

Bon Jovi is easy to listen to and I really love them.
Even a junior high school student can enjoy their music and end up loving it.
As a junior high student, you feel like you’re listening to slightly grown-up rock, which makes you a big fan.
The melodies are easy to remember.
Beauty And The BeastCeline Dion & Peabo Bryson

I became a huge fan after going to see the movie.
This duo is unbeatable.
Even now, this song moves me so much that it brings me to tears.
For middle schoolers, Disney movies are of course easy to watch, so listening to the songs through the films makes them easier to appreciate and is really great.
