When I Was Your ManBruno Mars
A heart-stirring piano ballad that presses on the chest with bittersweet regret and hope.
Hailing from the United States, Bruno Mars lays bare his heartbreak in this song.
Despite its simple arrangement, his emotionally rich vocals leave a strong impression.
Included on the album “Unorthodox Jukebox,” it was released as a single in January 2013.
It became a worldwide hit, reaching No.
1 on the U.
S.
Billboard chart and achieving 8.
3 million digital sales.
For anyone carrying the pain of a breakup or deep feelings for someone important, this is a song that can be a source of comfort.
Livin’ It UpBill LaBounty
It’s not generally mainstream, but for AOR lovers it’s a stone-cold classic: Bill LaBounty’s 1982 track.
If you’re an AOR fan, you’ve probably already got it covered.
The sound is unmistakably AOR—so clear-cut it almost overdelivers—and it’s an exceptionally easy-to-listen-to gem.
How about giving it a spin when you’re in the mood for a sophisticated, adult vibe?
I Don’t Wanna Miss A ThingAerosmith
This is the theme song from Armageddon, the movie that made not just America but the whole world cry.
This band, which has been popular in Japan since around the 1970s, has also toured Japan, delighting their Japanese fans.
They are known as one of the best-selling bands in the world.
Stand By MeBen E. King
Speaking of masterpieces among masterpieces, this is the one.
It’s a song so well-known it hardly needs any explanation.
And it would be hard to find another song that fits a film of the same name this perfectly.
It’s a flawless classic.
Ben may have passed away, but this song will surely live on.
Ho HeyThe Lumineers
It’s a classic by The Lumineers, whose album sold exceptionally well in Japan too.
They just visited Japan this April.
The tickets sold out, and even the additional release sold out—proof of their immense popularity.
We’re highly excited to see what they do next, as they continue to release songs with fresh styles.
Die A Happy ManThomas Rhett
When it comes to songs by men who’ve found true love, this one is undoubtedly a classic.
Above all, the music video is wonderful.
The woman playfully interacting with Thomas is actually his real wife.
The romantic, movie-like music video that tells their love story is a must-see.
YellowColdplay
It’s one of Coldplay’s all-time greatest songs.
I think it’s a classic that every Japanese person knows.
Chris looks cool just walking along the seashore and singing—surely many men admire him.
His British accent is wonderful, too.
