Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

TikTok, the popular social media platform that’s becoming even bigger than YouTube.

I think many people in their teens and twenties use it.

When it comes to TikTok, the memorable content is those creations that combine various background music with unique visuals.

However, even if you find a BGM you like, there are times when you don’t know what the song is.

For those people, we’ve selected Western songs that became hits on TikTok.

We’ve picked a wide range—from tracks that trended in the early days to songs that are currently booming!

The song ‘Toca Toca’ became a global hit.

Particularly popular in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking regions, it experienced a revival through TikTok.

It first gained traction with videos of anime characters dancing to the track as background music, and gradually became established as a go-to BGM for dance videos as well.

Many of you may recognize the video that sparked the initial meme.

Not only the videos, but the song itself is highly addictive, and the chorus leaves a powerful impression.

Singer-songwriter Jake, who’s also active as a YouTuber, has been earning high praise worldwide for his striking looks, catchy personality, and sophisticated musicality.

Among his many great songs, the one I especially recommend is “golden hour.” It’s a hugely popular track on TikTok, known for its softly dreamlike chorus.

Lately, duet videos featuring arrangements of this song with Jake have also been trending.
