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-famous masterpieces and popular tracks (41–50)

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt

When it comes to James Blunt, this is the song everyone thinks of! It feels like it brings out everything that’s great about him.

If you’re a guy, you’ve probably sung it at karaoke at least once for someone you like.

The very sexy music video is also part of its appeal.

The one that suddenly burst onto the scene and became a huge hit was Magic!’s “Rude.” You might think it’s just a proposal song, but the lyrics are actually a bit amusing.

If your partner’s parents won’t approve your marriage greeting, there’s probably no song that fits better than this.

It’s a great, upbeat classic.

Technically it’s a Mark Ronson classic, but without Bruno, this song wouldn’t exist.

It’s an upbeat track, and the music video is crafted with a really cool attention to detail.

Bruno is, of course, hugely popular with women, but everything he does and says is so cool that he’s also extremely popular with men.

Let Her GoPassenger

If you think of Passenger’s greatest hits, it has to be this song.

It’s very mellow and easy to sing, so men sing it often at karaoke.

They’re a laid-back band with strong appeal to both men and women—a truly wonderful group.

Ho HeyThe Lumineers

It’s a classic by The Lumineers, whose album sold exceptionally well in Japan too.

They just visited Japan this April.

The tickets sold out, and even the additional release sold out—proof of their immense popularity.

We’re highly excited to see what they do next, as they continue to release songs with fresh styles.
