Cheer songs in Western music recommended for men: world-class masterpieces and popular tracks.

Somehow, when it comes to so-and-so kinds of Western music, I can’t help but want to compare the difference in direction with Japanese music of the same genre—and I’m going to do that this time too.

In Japanese music, there are many artists who sing supportive songs gently or in a pop style, whereas in Western music there are a lot of hype-you-up anthems that feel like they’re shouting, “You can do it!!!”

Also, the writing by the people who did each review in this article is really entertaining.

Cheering songs in Western music recommended for men: World classics and popular tracks (21–30)

Beat ItMichael Jackson

Although it’s a song that advocates nonviolence, I personally interpret it as saying that sometimes it’s important to run away.

What’s right and what’s wrong can be perceived differently depending on one’s position and circumstances.

It’s okay to run.

There’s surely a way for you to fight in your own way!

Soak Up The SunSheryl Crow

This is “Soak Up the Sun,” a 2002 hit by popular American singer Sheryl Crow.

It’s the kind of song you want to listen to while driving under blazing sunshine and a refreshing blue sky.

It’s truly an energizing track for listeners.

Whether you stumble at work or in your personal life, if you play this song while cruising down the highway, your worries might just fade away.

A powerful rock anthem from the American rock duo The White Stripes, who captivated the world with fierce guitar riffs and overwhelming presence.

Born from the Detroit-based band, this rebellious track portrays the indomitable spirit of a protagonist who refuses to be controlled and stands firm in their own will.

Released in February 2003, it opens the album Elephant and won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.

It made a huge impact on the global music scene and has been featured widely across media—from sports events and commercials to the film G.I.

Joe: Retaliation.

It’s recommended listening when you hit a wall in daily life or want to boost your motivation.

The song’s strength and energy are sure to give you new courage.

Village People were a very macho group active in the United States in the late 1970s! Speaking of them, “Y.M.C.A.,” which is famously known in Japan because it was covered by Hideki Saijo, is incredibly well-known, but “Go West” is also a famous song.

You’ve probably heard it at least once, right? It’s a classic with a very uplifting sound.

I Want It That WayBackstreet Boys

A pop ballad about aching love propelled America’s Backstreet Boys to global stardom.

Released in April 1999, the song reached No.

1 on the charts in more than 25 countries and earned an impressive three Grammy nominations.

While the lyrics are ambiguous, its beautiful melody and the group’s exquisite five-part harmonies are sure to soothe anyone struggling with love.

It was featured in a Samsung Electronics commercial in 2021, and even after more than 20 years, its appeal remains undiminished.

Highly recommended for those dealing with heartbreak or long-distance relationships.

It feels like something from a British idol group, but the melody is beautiful, isn’t it? The lyrics say something like, “It doesn’t matter who she is or where she’s from—what matters is that you love me.” I wonder if there aren’t more people than you’d expect who want to express this kind of sentiment to someone they love.

When it comes to Charlie Puth’s masterpieces, this is the song.

Charlie’s vocals are so beautiful, you can’t help but be captivated.

It’s such an amazing track that even men will think, “I wish someone would sing this to me!” The refreshing coolness of Charlie playing the piano is so stylish that many men probably admire him.
