Book Of DaysEnya

Enya – Book Of Days (Official Music Video)

Enya, whose music is often used in movies and commercials, was someone I first listened to in middle school, and I was impressed by the grandeur of her sound.

It influenced me a lot and became the reason I started listening to many genres of Western music afterward.

I still love her songs, and they’re my soothing music when I’m in my room.

Basket CaseGreen Day

Green Day – Basket Case [Official Music Video] (4K Upgrade)

I was blown away the first time I saw their band.

I remember thinking, “I can’t believe there’s a band this cool,” and being so shocked and amazed that I was immersed in Green Day for a while.

It’s really difficult, but I love playing their songs too.

HelloAdele

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

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.

HeroMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Hero (Official HD Video)

This song is very slow and gently sung, so the English lyrics are easy to catch and it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a song that even middle schoolers can sing well, and the melody is so beautiful that I listened to it over and over.

It’s my favorite song among Mariah’s.

Jumpin’ Jack FlashThe Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones – Jumpin’ Jack Flash (Live) – OFFICIAL

I love the Rolling Stones’ powerful sound, and after hearing them once I was hooked.

My bandmates in middle school used to listen to them a lot, and I got really into them too.

Their music is surprisingly easy to listen to, and the melodies are cool, so you can start picking them up right away.

BAILAR CONTIGOBlack Eyed Peas, Daddy Yankee

Black Eyed Peas, Daddy Yankee – BAILAR CONTIGO (Official Music Video)

This track rides on Latin rhythms to celebrate the joys of love and partying.

Released in March 2023, its video is a visually striking work that blends cutting-edge animation with breakdancing.

The sample from “Scatman” is used to great effect, evoking ’90s nostalgia while winning over new fans.

Included on the album Elevation, the song presents a new form of pop music that fuses diverse genres such as hip-hop and Latin music.

It’s a perfect pick for middle schoolers who love to dance and for anyone who wants to get hyped with friends through music.

A Whole New WorldPeabo Bryson & Regina Belle

A Whole New World – Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle

I think this song is a classic that anyone who has seen Disney’s Aladdin is sure to love.

It’s a very beautiful piece that still brings the anime to mind.

I also love singing it at karaoke—it’s not difficult, so it’s easy to sing.

Even middle school students can sing it.
