Bob Dylan’s ultra-famous song was also released in ’63.

In a sense, this track influenced the Japanese music scene even more than the Beatles, leading to the later folk song boom.

Even now, when I play a song on an acoustic guitar, I can’t help but think of Bob Dylan.

Brazillian RhymeEarth, Wind & Fire

A blissful Earth track with a Brazilian flavor, woven together by electric piano and outstanding choral work.

The rhythm section is tight—Verdine White’s bass, in particular, is superb.

The percussion is exquisite, and everything feels almost divine.

Don’t CryASIA

It’s a song that can hype you up from the intro alone.

It’s an old track from the ’80s, so if you like AOR from that era you’ll be absolutely pumped, but people used to more modern sounds might find it dated.

Even so, there’s no doubt it’s a classic—so try listening to it while watching the sunrise.
