YesterdayThe Beatles26rank/position

Yesterday • The Beatles • Original • 1965

A gem of a song written and composed by Paul McCartney, known by virtually everyone.

The noble melody of the string quartet blends beautifully with the acoustic guitar backing, creating a pleasant feel.

Many people probably practiced the chords on an acoustic guitar during their student days.

A melancholic melody paired with sentimental lyrics.

Sing it while overlaying it with your own youth, and it’ll bring you to tears.

This kicked off their rapid ascent, leading to an explosion in popularity in the 1980s.

In just under two and a half minutes, soul-pop is distilled with no excess, making it one of their most singable songs for anyone.

Daniele Vidal - Les Champs-Élysées - (Oh) Champs-Élysées

The chorus of “Aux Champs-Élysées” is something everyone’s heard—an iconic song that amplified 1970s Japanese people’s longing for the “stylish city of Paris.” Daniele Vidal, with her big eyes and cute features, fit the song’s image perfectly.

It’s funny how listening to this song makes you want to head out into the city, skipping along in vividly colored shoes.

Temptation of the BreezeOlivia Newton-John29rank/position

Olivia Newton-John – Have You Never Been Mellow

A smash hit from the time when the description “fairy-like” fit Olivia Newton-John perfectly.

I remember it holding the number-one spot for a long stretch on American Top 40, where Reiko Yukawa was the DJ.

Her clear, translucent voice truly embodied the Japanese title, “The Temptation of a Breeze.” It feels like a song I could sing comfortably.

This single comes from the period when she was really on a roll.

Of course, she went on to keep challenging various genres and continued to thrive, but Linda during this era was truly the best.
