Workstyle reform! Subtle BGM perfect for the office
Many offices and stores have used wired broadcasts or FM radio as workplace BGM, but we often heard concerns such as, “It’s paid, so it’s hard to take the plunge,” “The announcer’s MC pops in and becomes distracting,” or “The ads are annoying.”
Among these, the most common issue was, “Songs with Japanese vocals draw our attention away.”
In this article, for those who are considering “creating a workplace where employees can focus better as part of workstyle reform” and “building a store environment where customers can relax,” we propose YouTube live-streaming channels focused on Western music.
Please give them a try as a reference!

Work Style Reform! Subtle BGM Perfect for the Office (91–100)
Sugar!!Fujifaburikku
Fujifabric’s “Sugar!!” delivers the message, “Give your all to everything you do.” Released as a single in 2009, it was chosen as the theme song for J SPORTS’ program “2009 World Baseball Classic Broadcast.” With Fujifabric’s signature catchy synth melody and an uptempo beat, the track is sure to be an energizing boost while you’re working from home!
Lemon piemakaroni enpitsu
What’s striking about Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Lemon Pie” is its faintly nostalgic sound.
Released in 2018 as their second single, it was selected as the ending theme for TBS’s information program “King’s Brunch.” The lyrics, which sing of feelings for someone who’s more than a friend but not quite a lover, bring back that sweet-and-sour sensation.
Its lively beat and piano phrases put you in a happy mood when you listen, so it’s a great pick-me-up for days when you’re not feeling work.
Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter”Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
This is a classic number I recommend when you want to refresh your mind in a pleasant way.
Mozart’s Symphony No.
41 “Jupiter,” known as one of his late masterpieces, features richly dynamic melodies full of vitality that lift your spirits.
Even on days when getting to work feels like a drag, it wraps you in a bright atmosphere that seems to press your motivation switch.
Its clear yet elegant character can give momentum to your work-from-home tasks and may even help spark better ideas.
SummerHisaishi Joe
This work captivates with its beautiful melody and heartwarming atmosphere.
Phrases reminiscent of a school chime evoke nostalgia and bring a quiet sense of peace to the listener.
After being released in 1999 as part of the soundtrack for the film “Kikujiro,” it was included in the May 2000 album “Shoot The Violist.” Since then, it has been performed in various arrangements, including piano solo and orchestra, and has been loved by many.
Also used in a Toyota Corolla commercial, this piece is perfect when you want to focus on studying or work.
Play it in a quiet room or a small café, and it will enrich your time with gentle color.
Code Blue (from “Code Blue: Doctor Heli Emergency Lifesaving”)Satō Naoki
Composed by Naoki Sato, this piece captivates listeners with its tense development and moving melody.
Featured on the soundtrack of the drama “Code Blue: Doctor Heli Kinkyū Kyūmei,” it brilliantly conveys the tension of the medical setting and the emotional arcs of the characters.
Released in September 2014, the track’s grand soundscape—born from the harmony of piano and strings—inspires a positive mindset.
It’s ideal not only as background music for remote work or tasks, but also when you’re feeling stressed or need a change of pace.
If you want to focus on work or study, or calm your mind, immerse yourself in the world of this song.
Peter PanYuuri
The song I want freelance remote workers who handle everything with their own skills to listen to is Yuuri’s “Peter Pan.” Released in 2020 as Yuuri’s major-label debut single, it hit No.
1 on the iTunes Rock chart.
It carries a powerful message of “Don’t give up on your dreams!” and reflects Yuuri’s own determination upon making his major debut.
Its driving rock sound is a track that really fires you up for work.
Slow & EasyHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s “Slow & Easy” is a song that soothes you with the ukulele’s tone and a relaxed rhythm.
It’s the title track from the 2015 album Slow & Easy, and the whole album is crafted with a laid-back, gentle sound.
It’s also a summer song that evokes the beach, making it perfect for working from home in the summer.
Since working from home lets you spend time on your own, approaching your work with a relaxed mindset will surely help you be more efficient!
