Instagram: Classic and Popular Recommended Music for Reels

One of the most important Instagram features to master is Reels.

It’s an essential tool for showcasing your account.

It’s common to add music to each Reel, but many people may struggle to figure out what’s trending.

For those people, I’d like to introduce some recommended songs you can use in Reels.

I’ll be covering not only Japanese music but also Western tracks, so you can match them to a variety of posts.

Be sure to find the tracks that suit you!

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI is a band that has remained on the front lines from the late 2000s to the present.

They had been known for their soft, dream pop–like melodies, but after releasing Habit, many listeners may have felt their image shift dramatically.

This track offers a dark, gritty side that hadn’t been present in SEKAI NO OWARI’s earlier work, delivering a stylish yet rough-edged sound throughout.

A song that celebrates a forward-looking attitude toward living on the edge of everyday life is making waves.

Its positive, energetic message is resonating especially with younger generations.

Released in May 2024, the track sparked a huge response on social media, surpassing 800 million views on TikTok in about a month and ultimately amassing over 2.4 billion views.

The lyrics, which encourage people to enjoy their own lives without fearing risks, are particularly appealing.

It’s highly recommended for anyone seeking an upbeat, positive track perfect for Instagram Reels.

How about brightening your days with KOMOREBI’s music?

The classic hit “Here With Me,” which became a huge sensation on TikTok in 2022, is by the young singer-songwriter David.

The track is crafted as classic soul that evokes the vibes of the 1970s and 1960s, perfectly matching the revival trend of the 2020s.

Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, you can enjoy it through the mood of the music, so why not give it a listen on your way home with friends if you’re a junior high school student?

YOASOBI is currently the most popular group in Japan.

They had an explosive breakout hit with ‘Yoru ni Kakeru’ and have continued to consistently release hit songs.

Among their works, the one most frequently used in Instagram Reels is ‘Sukida.’ It’s a track centered on the catchy, cute melodies they excel at.

It also has a chill vibe, making it a great fit for everyday-style Reels.

Be sure to check it out.

In conclusion

This time, I picked out music used in Reels from both Western and Japanese songs. Japanese tracks tend to be catchy, while overseas ones often give a stylish impression. Also, it’s not always best to just choose trending songs for Reels. Adding music you personally like is important, too.
