Not That SeriousNocturnal Spirits
If you’re looking for mood-boosting background music, “Not That Serious” is my top recommendation! It’s a track from Nocturnal Spirits’ 2018 album Sticky Date.
It’s soothing when you’re unwinding in a stylish space, and it also helps you get work done.
Listening to this song makes you feel like you’re in a bar or a café.
Give it a spin when you want to switch seamlessly between relaxation and work mode.

If upbeat tracks make it hard for you to focus at work, I recommend “Tsukimisou,” an exquisite piano-driven ballad by Novelbright.
Released in 2020 as a digital-only single, it was featured in Fuji TV’s “Tokudane!” weather segment.
The song drew attention through appearances on the hugely popular YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE and has surpassed 100 million streams.
The lyrics, which sing of someone unforgettable, are heartbreakingly poignant.
Its relaxed tempo won’t get in the way of your tasks, making it a perfect pick for working from home.

Its stylish, jazz-infused beat lifts your mood, making it perfect as background music for working from home.

When it comes to songs that pump you up, two elements are key: the overall vibe and the lyrics.
This track blows away those gloomy morning feelings on both fronts! The melody is bright and up-tempo, and just listening to it makes you want to move your body.
Plus, the lyrics are packed with messages that ignite your fighting spirit, making it perfect for mornings when you need to give it your all.
Be sure to listen closely while reading the lyrics!
LaurentechSPECIAL OTHERS
This track, which keeps your work moving at a comfortable tempo, is “Laurentech,” released in 2007 by the jam band SPECIAL OTHERS.
Its irresistibly groovy melody will get your body swaying and help you power through both work and study! The balance between the punchy drum sound and the synth tones—calming yet with a touch of cuteness—is incredibly pleasant.
Even if you’re not feeling motivated at first, the steadily building melody is sure to lift your spirits right along with it!
