Hidden Gems of Foreign Music for Studying: Music/BGM (71–80)
ThinkAretha Franklin
If you’re lucky enough to work in a place where music is allowed, it’s only polite to appreciate that and curate the best possible selection.
Generally, female vocals are the safest bet, but if you want to add a bit of flair and show some individuality, how about this artist?
Rock Around The ClockBill Haley
It’s truly an original song that forms the foundation of rock.
This track gradually influenced and evolved, impacting artists like the Beatles, Presley, Michael Jackson, and many others.
It would even be good to play at the workplace to help people learn about that history.
Stay The NightJames Blunt
Because the music is very refreshing, it would suit a workplace with many women.
Playing it in environments like insurance companies, where there are many female career professionals, would be very effective.
Above all, it has a kind of power that blows away fatigue, so it should invigorate people.
Hidden gems of songs/BGM for studying with Western music (81–90)
I’m YoursJason Mraz
You might think it would be great to listen to music while working, and recently, partly due to the influence of foreign companies, more offices are playing Western or stylish music.
The genres are diverse as well, and there are many cases where they play refreshing, soothing songs like this one.
LullabyLow
Low are largely overlooked in Japan, which is precisely why their music deserves to be appreciated.
If you play them at work, few people will recognize the songs, so you should be able to focus on your tasks.
However, be warned: they can be highly addictive.
HoppipollaSigur Rós
When playing music at work, I sometimes prefer genres like jazz.
That’s probably because if there are vocals, I end up focusing on listening rather than working.
But with this post-rock kind of music, the sound is beautiful and I can’t understand the lyrics, so I recommend it.
Isn’t She LovelyStevie Wonder
If you keep the volume low, I don’t think there’s any music that fits better in any workplace than funk and soul.
In particular, their distinctive rhythms get your body moving even at low volumes, which can have a positive effect on work efficiency.
I can definitely recommend this kind of music.
