[2026] That unforgettable scene once more… Recommended theme songs and insert songs from foreign films (71–80)
Turn The Beat AroundGloria Estefan
The theme song of the Stallone-starring film “The Specialist.” Sung by Cuban-born vocalist Gloria Estefan, this track was used very effectively in the movie’s trailer.
Her powerful voice is a perfect match for both the song and the film.
Gloria, who is also well known for her fondness for Japan, once participated as a producer when Seiko Matsuda attempted to break into the U.S.
market.
I’ll Never Love AgainLady Gaga, Bradley Cooper
This is an extraordinarily beautiful song used in the 2018 film A Star Is Born.
Lady Gaga’s unadorned vocals are overwhelming—truly beautiful and deeply moving, you can’t help but be captivated.
Although it’s a story starring Lady Gaga and has a somewhat feminine image, it’s a musical/romance film that I’d love for men to enjoy as well.
Calling youJevetta Steele
The 1987 film “Bagdad Cafe,” known for its surreal style and artistic psychological portrayal, is particularly striking.
It tells the story of two women who part ways with their husbands after quarrels, meet each other, and work together to revitalize the café one of them runs.
The crucial element of this film is the psychological depiction of the Black woman who owns the café.
The song “Calling You” literally means “calling to you,” and judging from the lyrics, it expresses this Black woman’s feelings as she waits for her husband.
The ending depicts the moment when her husband returns.
It’s a wonderful film that conveys the beauty of love.

Single LadiesBeyoncé
In the movie Sex and the City Part 1, songs by Beyoncé, one of America’s greatest singers, are used.
The upbeat, catchy music seems to perfectly embody the world of Sex and the City.
It’s a track I especially want women to hear who, even after turning thirty, still refuse to give up on their careers, on love, and even on marriage!
