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!

A gentle nightorange pekoe
This is the second single by orange pekoe, a music duo that began their activities in the Kwansei Gakuin University light music club and captivates fans with a sound infused with jazz and Latin elements.
The song was featured in a commercial for C’BON cosmetics, and it’s an outstanding number with a comfortably breezy jazz atmosphere, a soothing beat, and a touch of melancholic vocals.
Its calm tone and nostalgic melody make it perfect as background music for remote work, enriching your personal space.
It’s a recommendation for those tired of mainstream pop—a sophisticated track with an addictive, mature vibe.
Paradiso→Pia-no-jaC←
A track by the music duo →Pia-no-jaC←, often called a “hybrid instrumental” for its simple setup: melodies and chords on piano only, with the beat provided solely by cajón.
From the opening, the song’s rapid-fire development and the instantly recognizable →Pia-no-jaC← sound pull you into their one-of-a-kind world.
Unlike typical instrumental pieces used as background music, its thrilling arrangement can boost your motivation even when working solo or remotely.
It naturally lifts your energy as you listen—perfect as BGM when you want to change up your mood.

Yuzu’s Hyōri Ittai is the duo’s 40th single, released in 2013, and it was selected as the theme song for the anime film Hunter x Hunter: The Last Mission.
It reached No.
4 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
The arrangement makes frequent use of breaks in the chorus, emphasizing a sense of speed that really gets you pumped as you listen.
When you’re working from home alone, it’s easy to feel disconnected from others.
Try listening to Hyōri Ittai—a song about bonds that stay connected no matter what—and remember the feeling of working together with your teammates.
Air on the G StringJ.S.Bach
Along with the epithet “the father of music,” Johann Sebastian Bach’s works are something almost everyone studied in school music classes.
To be precise, the commonly known title refers to the arrangement of the second movement, “Air,” from Bach’s Orchestral Suite No.
3 in D major, BWV 1068, made for solo violin with piano accompaniment by the German violinist August Wilhelmj—a detail that those less familiar with classical music may not know.
Its dreamy, all-enveloping melody makes for calming background music.
It’s also recommended for remote work when you want some sound but prefer to avoid tracks that are too attention-grabbing.

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!

What’s striking about Macaroni Enpitsu’s “Lemon Pie” is its faintly nostalgic sound.

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.
