I’ll Be The Moon ft. Maren MorrisDierks Bentley
Dierks Bentley is one of America’s leading country singers.
His husky tone, close to a baritone, conveys both warmth and coolness.
A standout track by him, featuring Maren Morris—who is likewise a major force in the country music scene—is “I’ll Be The Moon (ft.
Maren Morris).” The song is suffused with the gentle, nuanced atmosphere that is a hallmark of country music.
idolYOASOBI
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?
GOD_iNumber_i
Number_i’s latest track, marked by a poignant topline and striking beats, is an ambitious song carrying a profound message about self-affirmation and self-awareness.
Produced by Yuta Kishi, with all members involved in writing and composing, the piece vividly showcases the group’s individuality.
Released in January 2025, it was accompanied by a music video featuring artful, visually rich direction.
Its dreamy sound also suits social media video posts, making it a popular choice for Instagram clips and dance videos.

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.
