WALK THE MOON – Shut Up and Dance (Official Video)

Personally, I don’t know any song that gets me more hyped than this.

WALK THE MOON isn’t very well-known in Japan, right? It seems they’re famous overseas, but I didn’t know about them.

Still, the moment I heard this song, I was like, “What is this? This is such a mood booster!” and I’ve been listening to it ever since.

Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You

This song is also famous for its collaboration with Rola-chan.

It’s a fairly old track, but I still listen to it.

The lyrics use very simple words, so it’s easy for Japanese listeners to understand and sing along to, and I think it’s a lively, crowd-pleasing song.

Sia – Alive (Official Video)

The girl appearing in this music video is Japanese, and there’s a story that she’s incredibly talented and was directly offered the role by Sia.

She’s performing a very advanced kata, but since many people overseas aren’t familiar with this form, some have said they don’t understand the meaning of the MV.

P!nk – Just Like Fire (From”Alice Through The Looking Glass” – Official Video)

This song became very famous, partly because it was used as the theme song in Alice in Wonderland.

Her music always gives me energy, and I especially love this track because it’s so dynamic.

I’ve been listening to it on repeat.

Austin Mahone – Dirty Work (Official)

This song suddenly shot to popularity after the comedian Chiemi Blouson used it in her routine.

Its catchy tempo and funny lyrics make me want to listen to it over and over.

Every time I hear it, I can’t help but picture Chiemi Blouson’s act, but the actual music video is really cool.

Rachel Platten – Broken Glass (Video)

Rachel Platten’s songs often have encouraging lyrics, and this one also carries a message to do your best.

But it doesn’t feel gloomy—its bright tone makes it my go‑to when I want to lift my spirits.

I especially like the scene in the music video where she rides a bicycle.
