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 (1–10)
Good Vibes Only – Chill • Funk • Jazz • House | LTB Radio 24/7LTB Music
This is recommended BGM for people who don’t like complete silence while working.
It’s bright, up-tempo Western music, so it may not suit very formal companies, but otherwise it can be broadly used as background music.
It’s recorded for a long duration, so you rarely need to worry about the music cutting off midway.
I think it can be used not only in offices but also by people working remotely or as store BGM.
Some tracks use quite heavy sub-bass, so you may need to be mindful during phone calls.
lofi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study toChilledCow
The ‘lofi hip hop radio – beats to relax/study to’ stands out for its chill sound.
While it’s hip-hop instrumentals, every track has a chill vibe, making it suitable even for calm office environments.
Since the mix is designed for relaxation, some tracks feature rain sounds.
The lineup ranges from brighter tunes to more serious melodies, so it’s a mix you can use in various situations.
The Good Life Radio • 24/7 Live Radio | Best Relax House, Chillout, Study, Running, Gym, Happy MusicThe Good Life Radio x Sensual Musique
This is background music streamed live.
The selection mainly features up-tempo Western tracks, making it perfect for gym use or any time you’re moving your body.
Since the songs are in foreign languages, the lyrics are less distracting compared to Japanese songs, so it’s also great to listen to while jogging alone or doing fitness activities outside the gym.
Even when you’re not exercising, playing this BGM when you’re feeling down or doing active chores like cleaning at home can make the work more enjoyable.
If you use it in an office or similar setting, be mindful of the volume.
Indie / Bedroom / Pop / Surf Rock – 24/7 Radio – Nice Guys Chill FMNice Guys
For workplaces with many young employees, I recommend “Indie / Bedroom / Pop / Surf Rock – 24/7 Radio – Nice Guys Chill FM.” It covers a wide range of genres, but the core is bright, laid-back tracks reminiscent of jungle pop.
Some recordings can be piercing, so even a low volume is more than enough to hear clearly.
The melodies are ideal for sites that start early in the morning.
Relaxing Jazz Piano Radio – Slow Jazz Music – 24/7 Live Stream – Music For Work & StudyCafe Music BGM channel
For cafes and restaurants, I recommend “Relaxing Jazz Piano Radio – Slow Jazz Music – 24/7 Live Stream – Music For Work & Study.” Its quiet slow jazz offers a soothing, captivating melody that eases the fatigue of our hectic society.
It works in offices too, though it might make you a bit sleepy.
The melodies are well-suited to restaurants and cafes, and I also recommend them for reception rooms.
Beautiful Piano Music 24/7 • Study Music, Relaxing Music, Sleep Music, Meditation MusicSoothing Relaxation
For workplaces where relaxation is essential, I recommend “Beautiful Piano Music 24/7 • Study Music, Relaxing Music, Sleep Music, Meditation Music.” It’s a piano-centered mix featuring a wide range of moods, from gentle to melancholic.
The melodies are perfect for hospitals and massage-related workplaces.
It’s also great for office nap rooms.
Deep House · Relaxing Study Music · 24/7 Live RadioThe Grand Sound
“Deep House · Relaxing Study Music · 24/7 Live Radio” stands out with its immersive house sound.
It delivers a deep sonic feel without sacrificing the refreshing sensation that’s the hallmark of house music.
The melodies are perfect for gyms and fitness spaces.
While the sound has depth, the tracks themselves are light and breezy, so it’s not suited for gyms geared toward hard workers.
It’s a melody better suited for lighter workouts like aerobics.
