Ace of Base – All That She Wants (Official Music Video)

This is a classic club track by Ace of Base that adds flair to the club scene with artistically crafted pop rooted in catchy, upbeat grooves.

Adele – Hello (Official Music Video)

Adele is a globally acclaimed singer representing the UK and a Grammy Award winner.

Her greatest appeal is, without a doubt, her vocal prowess.

Her lyrics also contain many elements that resonate with women.

I recommend listening to her songs while reading the Japanese-to-English translation.

AngelAerosmith3rank/position

Aerosmith – Angel (Official Music Video)

This song was used as the theme for the drama “Engine” starring Takuya Kimura and became a hit in Japan.

It delivers, in a gentle yet dramatic way, the yearning and deepening feelings of love for someone dear who isn’t by your side.

Its wistful melody is perfect for long autumn nights.

Ten Feet Tall（feat.Wrabel）Afrojack4rank/position

AFROJACK – Ten Feet Tall (Lyric Video) ft. Wrabel

It’s an upbeat track that makes you want to jump for joy, and the beautifully delicate piano that resonates in the intro and at key moments is also incredibly appealing.

Included on the album “Forget the World.” A triumphant hit song by a world-renowned DJ and music producer who has also worked on tracks with Pitbull and Beyoncé.

Highly recommended.

No OneAlicia Keys5rank/position

Alicia Keys – No One (Official Music Video)

It’s the ultimate love song.

This must be how you feel when you love someone with single-minded devotion.

By the time you’re in your thirties, I think most people have met at least one person who makes them feel this way.

Even among Alicia’s many hits, this one is special.

FocusAriana Grande6rank/position

Ariana Grande – Focus (Official Video)

A club music masterpiece by Ariana Grande that delivers excitement as her tasteful melodies and overwhelming vocal power fuse with a clubber-like mainstream catchiness.

It’s grand, widely popular, and exudes charismatic stability, making it a great recommendation for teenagers as well.

Wake Me UpAvicii7rank/position

Avicii – Wake Me Up (Official Video)

A single by Avicii released in 2013 that became a worldwide hit.

It’s a fresh fusion of country music and electronica—a catchy, addictive, and captivating sound.

It’s truly heartbreaking that he passed away so suddenly in 2018.
