The Rolling Stones are a legendary rock band representing the UK, and they’ve enjoyed enormous popularity in Japan for many years.
Their classic track “Star Star,” included on the 1973 album Goats Head Soup, became famous for its outrageously vulgar and provocative lyrics.
It’s not exactly centered on a star theme, but it’s such an incredibly entertaining song that I decided to feature it this time!
Star GuitarThe Chemical Brothers
The Chemical Brothers are a British electro music unit that represent the UK.
Until they arrived on the scene, rock had been largely shunned by the dance scene.

Their classic track Star Guitar features an upbeat techno sound themed around stars.

Ode To JoyLuna & Stella
A classic masterpiece that everyone has heard at least once has been reborn as a lullaby that gently guides babies into peaceful sleep.
Based in the United States, Luna & Stella deliver soothing music for infants and toddlers.
This piece features a heartwarming arrangement of Beethoven’s famous Ode to Joy, woven with the gentle tones of music box and piano.
The original song’s grand theme of universal love here may be heard as a parent’s unconditional love for their child, and as a prayer for healthy growth.
Included on the album “Classical Lullabies,” released in June 2023, it’s a perfect track to play before bedtime, wrapping both parent and child in a calm sense of happiness.
