LIFE: Beyond What’s Right in Front of YouKanjani∞
Even if things are tough right now, even if you’re standing still, it’s not over yet! You’ve still got this! It’s the kind of song that makes you feel that way.
Kanjani Eight’s songs often have bright, casual lyrics, but their ballads and cheer songs hit straight to the heart.
Farewell at 22kaze
The debut single by the acoustic duo Kaze, formed by Shozo Ise, formerly of Kaguyahime.
With lyrics and a melody that poignantly resonate, it became a huge hit and has sold over a million copies in total.
It’s especially well-received by people currently in their 60s, so it’s a very handy song to have in your repertoire for solo acoustic performances.
Black Or WhiteMichael Jackson
This song, which sings about discrimination between Black and white skin, is, contrary to its theme, very bright and pop.
Michael sings so energetically about an issue that concerns all of humanity worldwide that it makes me feel silly for getting depressed over something like a breakup.
Elastic Heart feat. Shia LaBeouf & Maddie ZieglerSia
An epic power ballad that portrays love and conflict.
Australia’s Sia masterfully captures the complexities of human relationships.
The lyrics, which sing of having a resilient heart yet still having limits, will resonate with many.
Released in October 2013 as part of the soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, it was later included on the album 1000 Forms of Fear.
The music video features actor Shia LaBeouf and dancer Maddie Ziegler, and drew attention as a highly artistic work.
A recommended track for anyone looking to overcome the pain of love.
Let It BeThe Beatles
The lyrics say that when you’re going through hard times or unbearable suffering, remembering the phrase “let it be,” meaning to let things take their course, can blow those adversities away.
It’s a song that makes you want to whisper, just as it says, “let it be.” The piano melody sinks deep into the heart.
jumpVan Halen
With the familiar intro sound that begins with this synthesizer and the exhilarating shout of “jump!!!,” it’s sure to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down.
Just listening will bring a smile to your face—an irresistibly jump-inducing track.
Lovers AgainEXILE
Back when EXILE had seven members, they had a lot of classic love songs.
Among them, this is the definitive heartbreak song.
The track tells the story of a man who initiated a breakup but, overwhelmed with regret, comes to realize once again how precious his former lover is.
It shows us that heartbreak can take many different forms.
