If you’re looking for the perfect rock song to boost your energy, I recommend “deadlock” by the band Kami-sama, Boku wa Kidzuite Shimatta.
Its up-tempo, fast-paced beat pairs perfectly with the driving guitars, and just listening to it will get you hyped.
The chorus switches to English lyrics, giving it a vibe that feels almost like Western music.

Just the Way You AreBruno Mars
If you’re recommending something for a work-from-home fan of Western pop, Bruno Mars’s “Just the Way You Are” is a great pick.
Released as a single in 2010, it was a smash hit that topped both the US and UK charts.
It also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 53rd Grammy Awards.
The track is a danceable tune with a memorable piano phrase, and since the overall energy doesn’t fluctuate much, it’s perfect as background music while working.
SalamanderELLEGARDEN
If you find your focus slipping while working from home, try listening to ELLEGARDEN’s 2006 single “Salamander.” Despite being released independently, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon Singles Chart and set the record for the highest first-week sales by an indie single.
Its tight, driving rock sound will snap you back into gear—give it a listen!
reverse dreamKing Gnu
This is King Gnu’s “Sakayume,” which was used as the ending theme for the anime film Jujutsu Kaisen 0.
It’s a quintessential King Gnu ballad that fuses grand strings with a hip-hop–style beat, and it’s the kind of track that lifts your spirits even while you’re working.
Upon its 2021 release, it topped the Oricon Singles Chart and also hit No.
1 on both Billboard Japan’s streaming and download charts.
The tempo is relaxed, but the rhythm has an edge, and listening to it really sharpens your focus.
Good Vibes Only – Chill • Funk • Jazz • House | LTB Radio 24/7LTB Music
This is recommended BGM for people who don’t like complete silence while working.
It’s bright, up-tempo Western music, so it may not suit very formal companies, but otherwise it can be broadly used as background music.
It’s recorded for a long duration, so you rarely need to worry about the music cutting off midway.
I think it can be used not only in offices but also by people working remotely or as store BGM.
Some tracks use quite heavy sub-bass, so you may need to be mindful during phone calls.
