Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass (Official Video)

“All About That Bass” is a number by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, featuring a cheerful, Hawaiian-tinged rhythm that feels pleasant.

The lyrics are positive, encouraging women who worry about their body shape to embrace themselves just as they are.

The prominent bass tone throughout the track seems to add a sense of gravitas and gives the song a feeling of reassurance.

For a school sports day, it’s recommended for an individual event called “Ketsu-atsu Measurement,” a race where participants pop a balloon placed on a chair at a checkpoint by sitting on it, and those who pop it first sprint to the finish.

Marshmello – Alone (Official Music Video)

My favorite artist.

And a song that seems to really resonate with students, especially college students.

The music video features adorable characters, which is charming, and since they perform in those looks at live shows too, the crowd really gets excited.

The song also rides the trends skillfully and is fantastic.

John Legend – All of Me (Official Video)

A song like a piano-and-vocal performance.

That said, it’s not at all plain; it’s crafted to evoke a vast, worldly scale, which I find deeply moving.

It’s an outstanding track, and I hope it reaches a wide audience.

Numb (Official Music Video) [4K UPGRADE] – Linkin Park

A truly long-standing Western music artist.

Their recognition is very widespread.

When you think of Linkin Park, I believe this song represents them.

Although it’s a somewhat old track, it doesn’t feel dated at all—if anything, it’s so fresh that it makes me think it could be considered new music.
