Popular songs (1–10) sung by male Western music groups
One LoveBlue
A British R&B group, they became recognized in Japan thanks to this song.
Blue is a nationally beloved group that represents the 2000s, so in Japan they might be comparable to SMAP or Arashi—and if you set musical style aside, perhaps even to EXILE.
If the Backstreet Boys are the representative American male vocal group, then in the UK it’s Blue.
Liam Gallagher of Oasis often name-drops them in interviews and slips in some dark humor, but he apparently listens to them quite a lot.
Hey JudeThe Beatles
The globally famous band, The Beatles, released their 18th single in August 1968.
Even 50 years after its release, the song remains timeless and is frequently used in commercials in Japan.
In 2004, it was ranked eighth on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, showing its enduring appeal across generations.
Some say it was directed toward John Lennon’s son, Julian.
It’s a classic that everyone knows!
Long Train Runnin’Doobie Brothers
Released in 1973, this emblematic hit was the band’s first to reach the U.S.
Top 10.
It originally started as an instrumental, but there’s a story that the producer at the time suggested adding lyrics.
In the end it became the band’s signature song, making the producer a key figure in crafting the hit.
It has the vibe of classic rock that suits open plains and sunsets, and the intro riff leaves an unforgettable impression after just one listen.
Hotel CaliforniaThe Eagles
This is a signature song released in 1977 by the Eagles, the pinnacle band of American country and West Coast rock.
Although the place name “California” evokes a bright, summery West Coast image, perhaps because it was released in February of that year and has mysterious content, it’s surprisingly often played on radio music programs in winter.
The beautiful arpeggiated guitar intro, the unforgettable melody line, and the final, exquisite guitar solo—often hailed as one of the greatest in rock guitar history—make for a flawless structure from the very beginning to the end.
Youngblood5 Seconds of Summer
Hugely popular with teens, they’re a pop-rock band whose members were all born between 1994 and 1996.
This track, released in 2018, marks a dramatic shift from their debut.
Its sentimental melody and the emotional surge in the chorus really showcase how they’ve matured.
The song focuses on an elderly couple’s youth, portraying the classic Japanese delinquent style—pompadours and leather rider jackets—the good old-fashioned rebels.
