Since 2019, Tokyo duo YOASOBI has been making explosive pop from unique sources of inspiration. They started by writing songs with lyrics derived from short stories they’d found posted in online forums. “They create music for their audience, inspired by their audience, making their music relatable and deeply felt,” Fitness+ Yoga instructor Dice Iida-Klein tells Apple Music. “Whether I need a pick-me-up or to lean into my emotions, YOASOBI gives me just what I need to move through the day.” No matter the narrative theme of their songs, the sound is always positive, mixing synth- and guitar-driven ballads with emotive, high-tempo J-pop. This set of particularly caffeinated YOASOBI tracks was handpicked by our editors to keep your next workout upbeat and on track. If you hear something you like, add it to your library.
