FlowerKYLIE MINOGUE
Kylie Minogue, an Australian singer who’s also popular in Japan, has generated a lot of buzz here as well, with her songs used in TV dramas and covered by Japanese artists.
Her song “Flower,” included on her 2012 self-cover album The Abbey Road Sessions, is a masterpiece that expresses the love one feels for a child who seems as precious as a flower.
Kylie looks stunning in a dress in the music video, so be sure to check it out!
Shy VioletOwl City
Owl City, who achieved worldwide success with “Fireflies,” which reached No.
1 on the U.S.
singles chart.
It’s the solo project of American musician Adam Young, and he’s actually quite familiar to Japanese audiences—he performed at Fuji Rock in 2015 and has worked on video game music.
His song “Shy Violet,” which portrays a “bashful violet,” is a refreshing pop tune featuring bright instrumentation and a clear, pure vocal.
Desert RoseSting
“Desert Rose” is a classic by the British musician Sting, included as the second track on his 1999 album Brand New Day.
It’s a collaboration with Algerian singer Cheb Mami, whose contribution helps create a sound infused with an exotic, Arabic atmosphere.
The lyrics evoke the image of an oasis through a rose found in the desert, perfectly matching the song’s mysterious Arabian vibe.

Candle In The WindElton John
Elton John’s classic “Candle in the Wind.” Included on the 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, this song was dedicated to the legendary actress Marilyn Monroe.
A later version was released in tribute to Princess Diana, and both versions enjoyed great popularity.
While it doesn’t directly center on flowers, the lyric likening Princess Diana to an English rose is particularly striking.
Every Rose Has Its ThornPoison
It’s a heartbreak song by Poison, an American heavy metal band that was especially popular in the ’80s, featured on their smash-hit second album Open Up and Say…
Ahh!, and it’s said to be based on real experiences.
It starts with a relaxed acoustic guitar intro and gradually swells into something grand, which is really moving.
This may be sudden, but haven’t you ever hurt your partner with just a casual word? In the lyrics, that kind of drifting apart is poignantly compared to the dual nature of a rose’s beauty.
It really resonates with a broken heart…
And perhaps because of the sound’s atmosphere, there’s a curious warmth to it as well.
Brett Michaels’s husky yet crystalline vocals gently seep in—what a lovely song.
Daisy ft. Julia MichaelsZedd
Zedd is a DJ with top-tier talent in the EDM world.
He produces tracks featuring a variety of vocalists and artists, and even within EDM, his music often has particularly beautiful melodies, making him popular as a music producer as well.
His classic track “Daisy ft.
Julia Michaels” features American singer-songwriter Julia Michaels on vocals.
The song depicts someone whose feelings are growing for their slightly offbeat, eccentric lover, Daisy.
Life Is a FlowerAce of Base
Ace of Base is a Swedish group consisting of two women and two men.
Their pop sound blends reggae and techno, and their clear, airy vocals are especially captivating.
Because they share the same member makeup and a similar musical style, they’re often compared to ABBA.
Their 1998 release “Life Is a Flower” features an upbeat, dance-ready arrangement that really gets you moving.
True to its title, the song is a fresh, poppy track packed with their charm—just like “life is a flower.”
