Girls Just Want To Have FunCyndi Lauper
Cyndi Lauper, a quintessential American pop singer-songwriter known as a Japanophile who has performed in Japan many times.
“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” was her first major single as a solo artist.
It would be perfect as party background music.
With the theme that “girls just want to have fun,” the song not only makes good times even better, but also seems to ease tough moments.
Its down-to-earth charm makes it a wonderful song that fits today’s diverse, women-driven world.
The side-to-side grooving guitar riff and danceable rhythm are sure to lift your spirits!
Take On Mea-ha
That delightfully bubbly intro really leaves an impression, doesn’t it? It’s a huge hit from the 1980s by the Norwegian synth-pop band a-ha.
The original was released in 1984, and the hit version produced by Alan Tarney came out in 1985.
The message of “please accept me” and the confession that feels like a call to action are charming.
The synthesizer melody creates a very fun atmosphere, and Morten Harket’s airy vocals are so pleasant.
It’s a perfect track to play on a drive for a date to lift the mood!
SouthboundCarrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood is a singer who won an American idol audition show and, using that as a springboard, rose to become a global star.
With a refreshing four-on-the-floor dance beat, this energetic track is a real pick-me-up, and the lively music video—showcasing everything from her dazzling stage performances to scenes of her enjoying activities surrounded by nature—is also a highlight.
Like It IsKygo, Zara Larsson & TYGA
Kygo, a pioneer of tropical house, produced an upbeat, cheerful track featuring singer Zara Larsson and rapper Tyga, released in March 2020 as the lead single from his third album, Golden Hour.
Amid a world threatened by the coronavirus pandemic, he took to social media with a positive message, urging people to “stay positive during these difficult times.”
365Zedd, Katy Perry
This is a collaboration between music producer Zedd—who skyrocketed to fame in Japan after the 2017 hit “Stay”—and Katy Perry.
The track features Zedd’s signature fresh yet rich sound and leans more on the mellow side.
Pay attention to the bouncy production that highlights Katy Perry’s emotional vocals.
YMCAVillage People
The Village People are an American music group that gained worldwide popularity for their distinctive sound, which blends disco, R&B, and dance-pop.
They produced numerous hit tunes, but among them, YMCA became an explosive hit.
In Japan, Hideki Saijo covered the song in Japanese, so many people may already know it.
The call of “YMCA” is extremely catchy and perfectly captures the fun of the song.
If you’re familiar with the Japanese version, be sure to listen to the original as well.
EarthLil Dicky
This song, released under the title “Earth” by Lil Dicky—an American comedian, rapper, and environmentalist—is, as he says, “the most important” of his career, and you can feel his strong passion in it.
With star-studded contributions from artists like Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and Ariana Grande, it delivered a message to the world.
It’s a fantastic charity song that can be enjoyed by both adults and children.
