Selena Gomez – Lose You To Love Me (Official Music Video)

High school is a time full of new discoveries, from part-time jobs to romance.

Along the way, you might go through a breakup or grow distant from friends, and sometimes feel down.

The Western song I recommend at times like these is Lose You To Love Me.

It’s sung by Selena Gomez, a singer-songwriter who’s hugely popular among teenagers.

The lyrics are abstract, so you can relate them to your own experiences.

Be sure to listen while checking the Japanese translation too.

System Of A Down – B.Y.O.B. (Official HD Video)

I think if you can sublimate your darkness to this extent, it would feel really refreshing.

The repeated, breathless screams and the brisk tempo make this song addictive.

The lyrics, which sharply satirize the politics of the time, also left a strong impression on me, but personally I like the cool tempo in the chorus.

Little Mix – Shout Out to My Ex (Official Video)

I chose it because it’s a song that blows away depression.

Watching them sing with all their might and perform with raw emotion makes me feel ashamed of my gloomy self, and I naturally start to feel energized.

Or, it’s so dazzling that it makes me even more depressed—one or the other.

Oasis – Wonderwall (Official Video)

When it comes to Oasis, this is the song! It’s an ultra-popular track loved by many.

The laid-back acoustic guitar in the intro is striking and really suits a scene of autumn leaves dancing along a promenade.

How about using it as background music for a walk while reflecting on the path you’ve taken?

Logic – 1-800-273-8255 ft. Alessia Cara, Khalid (Official Video)

A signature work by Logic that expresses the heavy theme of suicide prevention through the medium of hip-hop.

Hailing from the United States, he rediscovered the power of music through interactions with his fans and created this piece.

The song skillfully portrays a shift in emotions from despair to hope.

Released in April 2017, it reached No.

3 on the Billboard charts.

It also had a significant social impact, including a 27% increase in calls to the suicide prevention hotline.

It’s a track I hope will be heard by those who feel life is hard, and by anyone who knows someone who might feel that way.

All Girls Are The SameJuice WRLD55rank/position

Juice WRLD – All Girls Are The Same (Official Music Video)

Juice WRLD, one of the most iconic rappers representing the emo rap scene, garnered immense popularity.

Although he sadly passed away in 2019, his music continues to capture the hearts of countless fans.

One of his songs that resonates deeply is highly recommended.

This track candidly portrays the despair and self-loathing born from heartbreak, overflowing with raw, painful emotion.

The lyrics lamenting that all girls are the same embody his loneliness and inner cries, making your chest tighten as you listen.

The music video, released in February 2018, powerfully visualizes the song’s world and catapulted his name into wider recognition.

Featured on the album “Goodbye & Good Riddance,” this is a perfect song for those nights when you want to sink into your sadness.

Joji – SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK

George is a world-renowned singer who represents Japan.

Many of you might be thinking, “Wait, he’s Japanese?” George is half Australian and half Japanese, and he originally started out as a YouTuber.

He is now active as a singer and has achieved major success, including reaching No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

His song “SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK” is one of his signature works—a dark track characterized by a distinctive, understated haziness often described as trip-pop.
