Singer-songwriter David, who has gained popularity for his nostalgic, soul music-based style.

Despite being only 18, he has already established his musical identity, and since his debut he has been consistently dropping hit tunes.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is “Here With Me.” Many of you may find its faint, soul-inflected melody quite familiar.

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen

This is the 2012 hit by the Canadian songstress Carly Rae Jepsen, who became instantly famous in Japan thanks to this song.

She went on to churn out a string of hits, including the Owl City collaboration “Good Time” and “I Really Like You.” It also made waves because many celebrities created their own original music videos to the track.

You’ve probably heard it at least once, right? For a while it was so trendy it felt a bit hyped, but it’s now a bona fide classic—perfect when you want to add a slightly nostalgic vibe.

Now the king of the reggaeton scene, Daddy Yankee, released this long-running hit in 2018.

Here in Japan, it also became famous on TikTok with the #KiraKiraDance.

Riding on a light, energetic sound, the chorus that repeats the title is so catchy you remember it instantly.

Since songs used in commercials need impact and instant appeal, it’s perfect when you have to pick BGM with that kind of aim.

Reading the lyrics, you find the feelings of a man that are quite provocative and passionate, giving it a distinctly Latin vibe.

Doechii is one of the most noteworthy women in the hip-hop scene.

She became the first female rapper to sign with Top Dawg Entertainment, the label home to Kendrick Lamar, and she’s highly praised not only for her rapping but also for her vocal ability.

“What It Is (Block Boy) feat.

Kodak Black” is one of her standout tracks that I especially recommend.

Its sound—hip-hop infused with elements that recall late ’90s to early 2000s R&B—is particularly striking.

Although her popularity has only just begun to surge and there aren’t that many TikTok videos yet, the memorable hook is likely to propel it into a widely recognized trend.

They are a country duo from the United States, Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard.

In 2019, they were nominated for the 61st Grammy Awards and became a hot topic.

This song takes a different approach from their signature, classic country sound, opting for an R&B style instead.

With its exquisite tempo, it’s a track you can listen to leisurely and without stress.

Why not spend an elegant moment accompanied by these sexy vocals?

From the very first note, this Jonas Brothers track is unbelievably cool.

It works as a BGM for dancing, a drive, a show—anything.

If you want to make things instantly stylish and slick, this is the one.

It’s an undeniably perfect background track.

Just remember, since it’s BGM, try not to let your guard down and get so into it that you start listening too closely.

Don’t Stop Believin’Journey

Journey’s signature song “Don’t Stop Believin’” is also a dramatic and moving track—you hear it often in Japan too, like in commercials.

The best part of this song is definitely the powerful chorus that opens up all at once.

It’s a rock number that makes you want to be open and use it as BGM in expansive, liberating moments.
