Cheer songs in Western music recommended for men: world-class masterpieces and popular tracks.

Somehow, when it comes to so-and-so kinds of Western music, I can’t help but want to compare the difference in direction with Japanese music of the same genre—and I’m going to do that this time too.

In Japanese music, there are many artists who sing supportive songs gently or in a pop style, whereas in Western music there are a lot of hype-you-up anthems that feel like they’re shouting, “You can do it!!!”

Also, the writing by the people who did each review in this article is really entertaining.
