Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

In this era where YouTubers have really become established, I think many people casually upload videos as a hobby.

So this time, I’d like to introduce a roundup of stylish, popular, and recommended songs for Vlog background music!

Whether or not you add BGM can drastically change the impression of your video, so I’ve prepared a variety—from already popular, stylish tracks to highly recommended picks.

The songs that work best can vary depending on the scene in your vlog, so be sure to check everything out to the end!

Alright, let’s get started.

A track by Sharo, who works both as a company employee and a composer, featuring a gently singing synth lead melody and a pleasant chill, lo-fi vibe.

Released in September 2020 as free BGM on Sharo’s own YouTube account, this instrumental piece has been widely embraced by video creators.

The music evokes the image of a protagonist without words, letting their thoughts drift from the everyday to the boundless cosmos—an epic, slightly bittersweet story.

Its moving melody makes it an alternative rock tune that adds emotional depth to footage, whether it’s a vlog scene of casually walking through city streets or a moment of taking a first step toward a new challenge.
