Speaking of one-hit wonders in Western music, I feel like he’s one of them.

This song was played in Japan when it was released, and I think a lot of high school students at the time sang it at karaoke.

One-hit wonders tend to have a bad reputation, but I feel that creating a masterpiece like this alone is more than enough proof of talent.

You could say that Ed Sheeran is at the forefront of the current Western music scene.

His songs get a lot of airtime on American cable music channels as well.

He’s become very famous in Japan, and I think his songs have rhythms that appeal to Japanese listeners, too.

He’s got a great voice, so why not give some of his other tracks a listen?

This song by a heavy metal band from Sweden became famous worldwide.

The intro has an indescribable, rousing feeling—like right before going into battle—that really stirs the heart.

Why not give it a listen when you’re feeling down?

This might be a bit mismatched for high schoolers too, but the lyrics’ touch of irony pairs perfectly with the refreshing vibe of the track, making it really catchy.

It’s one of their signature songs that makes you think, “Maybe I should listen to a bit more Green Day.”

She’s an American actress as well as a singer—a true multi-talented performer.

As you can tell when you listen, this song is incredibly uplifting.

The chorus phrase, “Love yourself no matter what others say,” gives courage to people of all ages.

Definitely give it a listen when you need a boost!

This song is a solo single released by Harry, who was a member of One Direction.

The name recognition of One Direction alone is impressive, but this track itself is also a really pleasant listen.

I hope they reunite someday.
