Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

“I just can’t get pumped up…” If you’re a music lover, you probably have a stash of songs that lift your spirits when you feel like that.

In this article, we’re focusing on Western music and carefully selecting upbeat tracks that are popular with many people.

We’ll try to include as many newer songs as possible.

In the latter half, we’ll also feature timeless classics—nostalgic hits that never fade.

Hopefully you’ll discover a favorite artist or a new track.

Enjoy!

This song is one of those: a quintessential KISS classic, highlighted by the intriguing twin guitar riffs from Ace and Paul.
