In today’s hip-hop scene, rapper Lil Durk commands overwhelming props.
If you’re a head, he’s probably well-known in Japan too.
Among his works, the track I especially recommend for junior high school students is All My Life ft.
J.
Cole.
It portrays the mindset needed to overcome hardships, drawn from growing up in disadvantaged environments.
Many junior high students face worries, like entrance exams.
This is a song I want you to listen to especially when times are tough.
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 Good DayHirai Dai

Hirai Dai’s songs are hugely popular on Instagram and TikTok, and you hear them often.
The track “A Good Day” is included on his 2016 album “Life is Beautiful,” and it was also used as the JACCS commercial song featuring Kei Nishikori.
All of Hirai Dai’s music has a calming, relaxing effect, so it’s easy to choose for any situation.
It also fits well as background music for everyday videos or travel clips.
I like you.YOASOBI

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.
