Singer Kelly Clarkson, who rose to nationwide popularity in the U.

S.

with her powerful vocals, was the winner of the first season of the hit audition show American Idol.

Her song Stronger, which puts her outstanding singing ability front and center, portrays a protagonist who has become stronger after overcoming a painful heartbreak.

The chorus line, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” resonates not only with those dealing with breakups, but also with anyone going through hardship—such as bullying or financial struggles.

April In Paris

This song was created for the Broadway musical “Walk a Little Faster.” It’s a laid-back, richly satisfying jazz number by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, who have greatly influenced Japanese artists as well.

It’s a classic I recommend for your spring holidays, especially if you’re busy with work or studies every day.

The duo’s soothing harmonies and the jazz melody will help you forget the hustle and bustle of daily life.
