19's Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
great nature1911rank/position

This is the Lotte Watermelon Bar commercial song featuring a cute hippo.
It’s one of the most popular songs among their 19, and it evokes images of hometowns and summers in the countryside.
Listening to it brings to mind grandparents in rural areas and makes you feel like going back home.
Odakyu Kakio1912rank/position

It’s the B-side track to the folk duo 19’s eighth single, Taisetsu na Hito, and it’s about Kakio Station on the Odakyu Odawara Line, located in Asao Ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The CD peaked at No.
2 on the Oricon chart.
Fruitless Road1913rank/position

It’s a song that expresses gratitude when setting off on a journey, being seen off by everyone.
The feeling of actually boarding a plane and getting ready to depart builds into the chorus, creating a mysterious effect where it sounds as if it’s quietly saying, “Thank you, everyone.”
Beyond that blue1914rank/position

Released as the first single, the lyrics may bring back nostalgic memories of things you experienced or thought about during adolescence.
It’s also a song that gives a gentle push to those currently struggling with such feelings.
Rather than stopping, living step by step and moving forward—perhaps that’s what truly matters.
theme song1915rank/position

I think this song will be a tailwind for anyone who hates erasing their individuality and following the path they’re told to take.
No two people are the same, so let’s live without hiding who we are! For those who feel stuck, it will be a wonderful anthem of encouragement.
background romance1916rank/position
A song that desperately tries to look both backward and forward, with bits of self-talk woven in.
Though it’s a single, it tends to be treated as minor, but isn’t it a track where you can take your time savoring Kenji’s unemotional vocal delivery? If you listen to it, I recommend a night that pairs well with a drink.
That paper airplane, splitting the cloudy sky1917rank/position

A hugely popular song that even generations who weren’t born at the time can hum along to.
It’s been covered so many times that you can choose it without worrying, “Will everyone know this?” During the chorus, let’s all sway left and right together and have a relaxed sing-along!
Instantaneous concept1918rank/position

The lyrics and the mellow melody match incredibly well and it moves me.
The feelings of cherishing someone are woven with gentle words and carried by a warm melody.
I’d be overjoyed if someone I love sang this to me.
dandelion1919rank/position

It was 19’s last song before they disbanded.
As a fan at the time, their breakup, when they were at the height of their popularity, was a shocking event for me.
The chorus line “Let’s bloom together” felt like it meant we should each keep doing our best even after the breakup, and I remember being deeply moved.
I still hope they’ll get back together someday.
Sing a Song1920rank/position

Amid overlapping events, the lyrics—filled with a wish that we won’t be changed or dyed by them—bring tears to your eyes.
It’s a cheering song that calls out, “Let’s stay together, let’s gather no matter what happens,” and even live, Kenji’s vocals and Keigo’s guitar solo create the atmosphere.
