Charlie Puth – I Don’t Think That I Like Her (Official Audio)

“I Don’t Think That I Like Her,” sung by Charlie Puth from the United States, portrays the complex emotions of becoming hesitant about new love due to being hurt in past relationships.

Despite its up-tempo melody, the lyrics express a bittersweet feeling of sealing off one’s emotions with the thought, “Maybe I don’t like her anymore.” Out of fear of being hurt the same way again, he holds back and keeps some distance.

However, if you suppress your current feelings because of past pain, you’ll likely regret it.

Like this song suggests, perhaps the best thing is to accept your wavering heart just as it is.

Guns N’ Roses – November Rain

Known by the nickname “Guns,” Guns N’ Roses has many fans in Japan, and when it comes to their autumn songs, this is the one.

It’s a track themed around marriage, and I especially recommend it to those of you in your late twenties who are starting to think about tying the knot.

Pharrell Williams – Happy (Official Video)

Pharrell Williams’s husky voice blows away my fatigue.

And the repeatedly taunting phrase, “Try to bring me down!!,” fires me up.

It’s a state of being happy no matter what happens.

That’s powerful.

The Final CountdownEurope70rank/position

Europe – The Final Countdown (Official Video)

It’s a song with a striking intro and a classic that everyone knows.

As long as you don’t scream, it’s relatively easy to sing smoothly.

There’s a high chance it will turn into a sing-along, which might make it easier to gloss over mistakes.

The key range isn’t very wide either, so I recommend it.
