Beauty And A BeatJustin Bieber
At first glance, I always think this title looks similar to the name of a song from Beauty and the Beast.
The music video starts with a scene of Justin Bieber hanging out, and it’s so catchy that I end up listening to it over and over.
Nicki comes in partway through, which makes the track feel even more extravagant and fun.
What LoversMaroon 5
I chose this song simply because it’s a real crowd-pleaser, but another reason is that SZA sings on it as well.
The harmony between Maroon 5 and SZA is fantastic.
Speaking of SZA, she’s an artist who’s gradually becoming more well-known in Japan, and she’s a great singer—I really like her.
Me TooMeghan Trainor
I first found out about this song because someone on YouTube was lip-syncing to it, and it’s super upbeat and exciting.
The melody is so catchy that if you keep listening, you’ll end up humming along without realizing it, and you’ll want to play it over and over.
Just like FireP!nk
This song became very famous, partly because it was used as the theme song in Alice in Wonderland.
Her music always gives me energy, and I especially love this track because it’s so dynamic.
I’ve been listening to it on repeat.
AliveSia
The girl appearing in this music video is Japanese, and there’s a story that she’s incredibly talented and was directly offered the role by Sia.
She’s performing a very advanced kata, but since many people overseas aren’t familiar with this form, some have said they don’t understand the meaning of the MV.
