In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.

Just What I NeededThe Cars
Swapping in as the punk rock boom faded, the genre known as “New Wave,” which surged in popularity from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, had many subgenres and an admittedly vague definition.
True to its name, it was a new musical style that incorporated a wide range of elements—electronic music, disco, world music, and even contemporary classical—into traditional rock and pop.
The Cars, the subject of this piece, debuted in that New Wave era and became a worldwide hit-making American band, known for their innovative musicality and highly polished live performances said to be indistinguishable from their studio recordings.
Their 1978 debut single “Just What I Needed”—released in Japan under the striking title “Moeru Yokubō” (“Burning Desire”)—is both a signature song and a bona fide classic.
Benjamin Orr, the handsome bassist and vocalist, delivered a sweet vocal, and the irresistibly catchy melody, loud guitars, and ringing keyboard lines were greeted with astonishment as a fresh style that somehow hadn’t existed before.
JennyThe Click Five
A song by The Click Five, an American power pop band whose members at the time of formation were mostly students at Berklee College of Music.
It was the first single from their second album, Modern Minds and Pastimes, and is known for achieving major success in Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
With catchy melodies and rock-like arrangements that evolve the power pop genre—said to have originated in the 1970s—into a modern sound, it offers a high-quality listening experience that resonates even with listeners who don’t often listen to rock.
It’s a classic that feels timeless, even within the increasingly diverse rock scene from the 2000s onward.

S.
, the rainy season isn’t felt to be as unpleasant as it is in Japan.
