Up-tempo Western music. Lively/fast-paced songs (131–140 BPM).
CenterfoldThe J. Geils Band

The song title “Centerfold” refers to what in Japan is called a magazine’s sealed center spread.
You can also guess the content from the Japanese title “Fallen Angel.” This track became their biggest—and only—hit.
They may be a one-hit wonder, but it spent six consecutive weeks at No.
1 in the U.S.
You Really Got MeThe Kinks

The song has been covered by numerous artists, but the original is by the British band The Kinks.
A well-known example is Van Halen’s cover.
It’s one of the earliest tracks to use the power chord, a fundamental in rock, and it influenced many bands.
SunlightThe Magician feat. Years & Years

A track released in 2014 by Belgian producer The Magician.
It features vocals by Olly Alexander, the lead singer of Years & Years, and samples Matching Mole’s 1972 track “O Caroline.”
Jumpin’ Jack FlashThe Rolling Stones

It’s one of the Rolling Stones’ early hits and can be considered one of their signature songs.
It’s always performed live, and in recent years it’s often played either as the opener or at the very end of the encore.
The title sounds suggestive, but it seems the phrase “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” itself doesn’t carry any deep meaning.
We Own The NightThe Wanted

From the very beginning, the fresh, mellow vibe of the tune is striking.
At first, it seems like a ballad, but as you listen, it turns into a pop-style track.
The mid-tempo beat makes it easy to groove to, and the section where a large group sings “la la la” in the interlude sounds so fun it makes you want to join in yourself.
Fly On The WallThousand Foot Krutch

The track begins with a somewhat mysterious vibe.
Thousand Foot Krutch is a rock band that has been active since 1995 and continues to this day.
Since they haven’t released any new songs since 2014, many fans are eagerly awaiting their return.
All The WayTimeflies

It’s turned into a very refreshing pop number.
Since it’s been used in commercials and as insert songs on TV here in Japan, I think many people have heard it.
The chorus builds in such a fun way that it’s a track guaranteed to lift your spirits.
