The theme song for NTT Docomo’s “Docomo Gakuwari” (student discount) commercial.

With the catchphrase “Your life can change in just three years,” the members of One Direction themselves appear in the ad.

It’s a track that reflects One Direction’s journey and fits perfectly with a campaign aimed at students.

RoarKaty Perry

If you want to cheer women up and encourage them, a Katy Perry song is probably your best bet.

With this song, I think everyone from young students to adult women can draw strength from it and find a chance to bounce back.

Men can enjoy it too, but it’s definitely more geared toward women.

One Direction is far from an ordinary idol group.

They’re a highly sophisticated musical act disguised as an idol group, with exceptionally strong songs.

This track may come across as a typical pop song, but it’s actually crafted into a truly outstanding piece.

There are powerful, high-energy cheer-up songs, and there are also ones that tell you to relax and take it easy.

This song is the latter, and it really puts you at ease.

I think it’s especially effective for people who get nervous easily or before an important exam.

Come to think of it, I used to listen to this song a lot whenever I faced a major turning point in my life.

All My Life ft. J. ColeLil Durk

Post Malone’s “Chemical” is a song that portrays the beginning of a romance through the theme of happiness-inducing hormones like oxytocin.

It features a friendly, approachable rhythm layered with gentle vocals, making it perfect for setting a steady pace while studying or working.

Released in 2023, the track also showcases a new facet of his musical career.

Its catchy, lingering melody can boost your concentration even during work or study sessions.

Definitely give it a listen.
