Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

If you use Instagram, haven’t you ever struggled to decide what music to use when posting a Reel?

So this time, we’ve picked recommended songs for Instagram Reels from tracks released in the Reiwa era.

All of these songs have been used by many users, so feel free to use them as a reference!

Noashi (noa) – First Love Killer [Official Music Video]

First Love Killernozomi

Set to sweet melodies and a sleek, urban sound, this track by Noshi vividly portrays love among teens and people in their twenties.

Against the backdrops of Shibuya, Shimokitazawa, and Shinjuku, it delivers a raw, true-to-life breakup story.

Capturing both the innocence of falling in love despite opposition and the heartbreak that follows, the song sublimates those emotions beautifully.

Released on May 8, 2024, it sparked a major response, especially on social media.

Its neo-retro music video—featuring a girl winning prizes from a claw machine—has also drawn attention.

A viral hit, the song evokes the memories of first love that many share, making it perfect for Instagram posts.

It’s a great pick for scenes that highlight romance-tinged memories or coming-of-age moments in the city.
