Don’t Stop BelievinJourney52rank/position

Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’ (Escape Tour 1981: Live In Houston)

Journey is a rock band that enjoyed immense popularity in the 1980s rock scene.

They’re also extremely popular in Japan and still have many fans today.

Among Journey’s many classic songs, one I especially recommend is Don’t Stop Believin’.

Released in 1981, it pairs a fresh, energetic melody with story-style lyrics.

Its sound is perfect for a morning or midday drive, so be sure to add it to your leisure soundtrack!

Lucid DreamsJuice WRLD53rank/position

Juice WRLD – Lucid Dreams (Official Music Video)

A track that samples the iconic song “Shape of My Heart,” which plays in the final scene of the 1994 film Léon starring Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.

It’s a dramatic number by Juice WRLD, a Chicago-born rapper born in 1998, conveying a strong sense of resolve and a meaningful message.

The music video, which portrays a dreamlike world, is also a highlight.

Justin Bieber – Beauty And A Beat (Official Music Video) ft. Nicki Minaj

This is a summer classic born from the collaboration between Justin Bieber—who has enjoyed immense popularity since his kids’ vocal days—and the hardcore female rapper Nicki Minaj.

The lyrics, which convey both beauty and musicality, make for a well-crafted piece that perfectly suits the summer mood.

After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy CollinsKali Uchis55rank/position

Kali Uchis – After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins

A mellow track by Kali Uchis that became popular after her breakout in 2018 and quickly gained a following in Japan, including an appearance at Fuji Rock.

It has a somewhat dubby feel, and, true to the title, an atmosphere that evokes a murky sky after a storm has passed.

It’s the kind of classic sound that tends to divide listeners.

An artist whose future work is highly anticipated.

This is the song “Good As You” by American country singer Kane Brown.

It’s included on his 2018 album Experiment.

His relaxed vocals are soothing, and the simple arrangement gives you a warm, cozy feeling.

The straightforward lyrics make it a heart-fluttering love song.
