One DayBjörk
Björk, the Icelandic singer-songwriter who has many fans in Japan.
There are quite a few Japanese artists—led by UA, known for her passionate style—who say they’ve been influenced by her.
Among Björk’s songs, the one I especially recommend is One Day.
It’s a standout track with a deep yet groovy melody that mixes trip-hop with elements of electronica.
The piece is crafted with meticulous detail—like using bubble sounds for track transitions—so on your first listen, take in the vocals and overall feel, and on your second, focus on the track itself.
One LoveBlue
A British R&B group, they became recognized in Japan thanks to this song.
Blue is a nationally beloved group that represents the 2000s, so in Japan they might be comparable to SMAP or Arashi—and if you set musical style aside, perhaps even to EXILE.
If the Backstreet Boys are the representative American male vocal group, then in the UK it’s Blue.
Liam Gallagher of Oasis often name-drops them in interviews and slips in some dark humor, but he apparently listens to them quite a lot.
One loveBob Marley
Bob Marley, the reggae legend from Jamaica, is known as a pioneer of reggae music, and his songs continue to be loved by many to this day.
In particular, One Love is one of his signature works and the song that made his name widely known.
The track celebrates the power of love and unity; within its laid-back reggae rhythm lies a message that brings people together.
In 1984, a music video was released posthumously.
One Love vividly reflects Marley’s philosophy of spreading peace and love through music and gives listeners positive energy.
It’s perfect for a relaxing evening or a gathering with friends, and it’s highly recommended for those new to reggae.
One LoveBob Marley & The Wailers
Released in 1977 to share a message of love and unity with the world, the classic “One Love” by Bob Marley—an enduring icon far beyond the realm of reggae—and his band, The Wailers, continues to transcend racial and cultural boundaries and is cherished across generations.
“One Love” has the power to bring people together, offering listeners a vision of hope and peace.
Its heartwarming melody and Marley’s powerful yet gentle vocals inspire faith in the possibility of a better world.
As a symbol of universal love and harmony that crosses race, religion, and borders, it’s a song I highly recommend to everyone and for every occasion.

One Love / People Get ReadyBob Marley & The Wailers
Bob Marley & The Wailers, the reggae legends born in Jamaica.
Formed in 1963, their contribution to bringing reggae—evolved from ska and rocksteady—to the world is immeasurable.
Bob Marley’s lyrics are characterized by the ideas of the Rastafarian movement and powerful messages of freedom and equality.
The 1973 album Catch a Fire was a groundbreaking work that led reggae onto the international music scene.
Their popularity exploded with hits like Get Up, Stand Up and I Shot the Sheriff from the follow-up album Burnin’.
The biographical film slated for release in May 2024 is also one to watch.
Here lies supreme reggae for everyone who wishes for peace through music.
Old Time Rock & RollBob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
This commanding, powerful mid-tempo 8-beat! It’s quintessential American rock ’n’ roll—Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band’s “Old Time Rock and Roll.” Bob Seger’s wild vocals feel absolutely amazing, too.
Put this song on and you’ll be transported straight back to the ’80s!
Oh Nanana (Remix)Bonde R300
In this video it’s not full-on hip shaking—what you’d call twerking—but it’s been a long-running hit on social media worldwide, like TikTok.
In Japan it’s often danced casually, but it seems to be performed more seriously in overseas clubs.
It’s catchy, and I think the beat has an ideal tempo.
