Wildest DreamsTaylor Swift

This song, included on Taylor’s first non-country album, 1989, by the popular country singer who has visited Japan many times, captures in her delicate and beautiful vocals the feelings for a lover she can now meet only in a strange dream.
Love YourselfJustin Bieber

It’s a slow-tempo track said to have been created in collaboration with Ed Sheeran.
The playful dance in the music video is amusing, so I recommend checking it out.
It’s the kind of song that makes you cherish those relaxing moments with someone special as you wake up leisurely on a day off.
The Lazy SongBruno Mars

I don’t want to do anything, I don’t want to move at all today… Everyone has days like that.
This is the perfect song for those days.
The music video features lots of monkeys (?) too, which puts you in a relaxed mood and makes you want to sing and dance along.
DiamondsRihanna

It was included as the first track on her seventh album.
Hailing from Barbados, she is known for her sweet, syrupy vocal delivery.
With rich emotion, she sings about her lover as someone who shines with a timeless brilliance like a diamond.
I’m YoursJason Mraz

A heartwarming love song by the American artist Jason Mraz, filled with positive messages that celebrate the joys of summer.
With themes of self-liberation and unconditional devotion to love, its lyrics stand out for encouraging us to cherish life’s moments.
Included on the album “We Sing.
We Dance.
We Steal Things.” released in May 2008, it set a record by remaining on the U.
S.
Billboard Hot 100 for 76 consecutive weeks.
In Japan, it gained further attention as the theme song for Kirin Beer’s “Grand Kirin” commercial.
The breezy acoustic guitar rhythm and the comfortable sound that blends elements of reggae and folk make it perfect for anyone looking to spend a calm, seaside-like moment of relaxation.
See You Again ft. Charlie PuthWiz Khalifa

Released in 2015, Khalifa’s single spent six consecutive weeks at number one.
It’s also well known as a theme for the Fast & Furious movies, so many of you have probably heard it.
The high, sweet male vocals paired with the low tones of the following rap are achingly poignant and wonderfully mellow.
You’re BeautifulJames Blunt

James Blunt from England released this as a single from his 2005 album.
The guitar and his gentle vocals keep you company on a day off.
The phrase “beautiful person” is repeated many times throughout the song, helping to set the tone for a refined, high-quality holiday.
