【2026】Recommended for Summer! A Collection of Western Dance Music

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

If you’re looking to get hyped this summer with up-tempo dance tracks, or searching for the perfect BGM for midsummer drives and parties, this article is for you!

There are surely a lot of people who want refreshing vocal melodies in dance music, and I think that’s especially true in Japan.

Even with danceable tracks, Japanese listeners want melodies they can hum along to.

That’s why I believe this song will be particularly well received in Japan.

When I listen to recent dance music, I’m honestly amazed at how high the quality is.

Even artists I’m hearing for the first time easily surpass a certain level of quality.

Above all, the sound quality is excellent—it’s so good I forget I’m listening through a video.

Primitive rhythms may be the new trend in dance music in 2016.

These rhythms, handed down since ancient times, somehow sound like special dance music the moment you hear them.

This track, of course, is a special one as well.
