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.

Cheer-up Western Songs Recommended for Men: World Classics and Popular Hits (31–40)
Joy To The WorldThree dog night
A track released in 1971 by the American rock band Three Dog Night.
It has been used in films such as The Big Chill.
The track has been covered by artists including The Supremes and Four Tops, as well as James Last.
Single LadiesBeyoncé
What Beyoncé is singing about is her exasperation with the man she broke up with and her confident, empowered attitude—but that’s surely a feeling men can have toward women too.
If you’re single, hands up! Go all out, get sexy, and feel amazing! After all, she’s a celeb.
She turns heartbreak into a fun, upbeat song.
If you’re tired of listening to sad breakup tunes, definitely give it a listen.
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!
Seven Nation ArmyThe White Stripes
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.
Go WestVillage Peaple
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.
