Recommended Western music/BGM for studying for junior high school students

The Invisible ManHelloween

Helloween – 02 The Invisible Man

This is a song by a world-famous band often called the pioneers of German metal in Germany.

The song features a striking vocal melody in the chorus, and the transition from the end of the guitar solo into the third verse is unbelievably cool.

I think it would seriously pump up the energy of any middle schooler studying.

The Funeral Of HeartsHiM

HIM – The Funeral Of Hearts

A gothic rock masterpiece where poignancy and beauty intertwine.

It portrays the duality of love, expressing deep emotions through the metaphor of a funeral for the heart.

Released in April 2003, this work has remained a beloved signature song for the band over many years.

It debuted as the lead single from the album “Love Metal,” and has since become a staple closing number at their live shows.

The music video also received high acclaim, winning Best Video at the 2004 Kerrang! Awards.

Highly recommended for those who feel the pain and anguish of love or want to sink into a melancholic mood.

It also makes a calming background track for studying.

The TrooperIron Maiden

Iron Maiden – The Trooper (Official Video)

It’s a gem of a song by a globally successful British heavy metal band.

This track makes full use of Iron Maiden’s signature triple-guitar attack and is seriously cool.

It’s the kind of metal song that’ll hit a middle schooler right between the eyes, so I hope you listen to it while studying and get pumped up.

Speaking of Justin Timberlake, he’s been making remarkable strides lately as an actor.

He delivered a memorable performance in the film The Social Network, proving his solid acting ability.

While that’s the case now, he originally debuted in an idol group like the Backstreet Boys.

He later left the group and pursued a solo career, joining the ranks of the stars, with his fashion also influencing teens.

RoarKaty Perry

Katy Perry – Roar

Katy Perry’s “Roar,” which means “to roar,” is a song about standing up for yourself.

Its lyrics about asserting yourself and being strong seem like they could make you feel even more empowered if you listen to it on the morning of an exam or a match.

AlightKendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar – Alright (Official Music Video)

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, who hails from Compton where discrimination and exploitation are rampant, delivers powerful messages in his lyrics.

He channels his weariness with a world where discrimination still persists into his words, underscored by a suffocating sound.

There’s no doubt that the roots of this lie in N.
