Galantis – No Money (Official Video)

Of course, it’s a song with tempo and excitement, but above all, the lyrics are so moving they could make you cry.

The words make you wonder who the songwriter had in mind when they wrote it.

When you want to raise your spirits or feel more confident, listening to it gives you courage.

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.

Let It GoIdina Menzel52rank/position

FROZEN | Let It Go Sing-along | Official Disney UK

A song from a Disney movie that sparked a worldwide boom, carrying a message of self-liberation and self-acceptance.

The lyrics express Elsa’s emotions as she builds her ice castle, and every listen gives you courage.

Used in the 2013 film, it became so popular it was translated into 25 languages.

Idina Menzel’s powerful vocals are unforgettable, and while it takes considerable singing skill to perform at karaoke, nailing it feels incredible! It’s perfect for getting pumped up with friends or coworkers.

The Japanese version was also a huge hit thanks to Takako Matsu’s vocals, so even beginners to Western music can try it with confidence.

Iggy Azalea – Fancy ft. Charli XCX

This is a party song by Australian female rapper Iggy Azalea.

With her cool attitude, great style, and bold looks, Iggy is a rapper admired even by women.

Autumn is a pleasant season, and it’s a time when we often get together with friends and have fun.

This is the kind of song you want to play to get everyone hyped.

It’s a refreshing track that captures Iggy’s strong, “I’m the best—got a problem with that?” vibe.

I want to live with the same confidence this song exudes!

James Arthur – Say You Won’t Let Go

A love ballad performed with acoustic guitar, released in 2016 by British singer-songwriter James Arthur.

It was written in Los Angeles and has been covered by artists such as Franklin James and Zane Jayson Johns.

I’m YoursJason Mraz55rank/position

Jason Mraz – I’m Yours (Official Video) [4K Remaster]

This song is striking for Jason Mraz’s bright, light, and down-to-earth vocals.

The intentionally imperfect chorus and the arrangement that leaves space between sounds make for a pleasant piece of surf music.

It’s a refreshing track that’s perfect for relaxed situations.

Ain’t Your MamaJennifer Lopez56rank/position

Jennifer Lopez – Ain’t Your Mama (Official Video)

When you think of Jennifer Lopez, you might picture someone from a little while back.

But I think this song has a tempo that younger listeners can easily get into.

As the title suggests, the lyrics are about “don’t think of me as a mama,” and there are quite a few surprising moments in the music video.
