Abe Mao Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Mao Abe – Senbonzakura (Official Lyric Video [from MY INNER CHILD MUSEUM])

Included on Mao Abe’s first cover album, “MY INNER CHILD MUSEUM,” which was released in January 2021.

The original song is a so-called Vocaloid track sung by Hatsune Miku, first published in 2011.

Vocaloid songs are originally composed without regard for the human vocal range, but Mao Abe masterfully delivers this kind of piece with her powerful high-tone voice.

This powerful high register isn’t something you can easily pull off just by “singing high,” so if you’re having trouble, it might be helpful to refer to the original Vocaloid version as well.

And if you want to further polish your proud high notes, I’ll be waiting for you in my vocal training sessions!

MV Go to See You

These lyrics express the sudden urge to see the person you love, and I can relate to the delicate sensitivity of a girl who feels she can’t be okay without someone she likes.

I think many girls would like to emulate the proactive spirit in this song—going to see him with nothing but her own determination.

Song of Shyness ~I’d be happy if you could relate~Abe Mao34rank/position

A Song for the Shy — It’s about how I’d be happy if you could relate

Rather than the meaning of life, it’s a song that shows, through examples, what it means to “live.” Even if you think you’ll manage on your own in your heart, you can’t lie about the feeling that, in the end, you’re waiting for someone.

Don’t try to do it all alone.

You are not alone.

Mao Abe – Ding-dong [Official Music Video] (TV Anime “The Invisible Man and the Human Woman: The Two Who Will Eventually Become a Married Couple” Opening Theme Song)

Released on January 21, 2026—the 17th anniversary of Mao Abe’s debut—the song “Ding-dong” was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Transparent Man and Human Woman: A Couple-to-Be.

Its expansive, unhurried melody, said to capture the warmth of the original work’s world, leaves a strong impression.

The scenes of the walk home, depicted alongside bell-like phrases, rekindle a sense of joy and wonder at being with someone precious.

Listening to it on the way home from work or school may bring a comforting feeling, as if easing a taut heart.

I wanna see you

This is a commercial featuring Kingo Uchida, Soma Abe, and Haruto Oki from “Today, I Fell in Love,” showing each of them handmaking Valentine’s chocolates for their respective partners.

It’s lovely to see the three of them happily crafting the chocolates while thinking of their partners.

In the latter half of the commercial, each of them is shown handing the chocolates to their partner—the joy of receiving them, and the relief and happiness of giving them, leave a lasting impression.

Mao Abe “If We’re Together” yoga

Mao Abe’s “If We’re Together” is the ending theme of the heartwarming drama “Mr.

Housekeeper, Mitazono” starring Masao Kusakari and the cat Fukumaru.

The lyrics are written to match the drama’s story, in which a lonely gentleman and a cat meet and set each other’s lives in motion again, full of color.

In a life that had been passing by without joy, the encounter with the cat changed everything.

Some people who keep cats may have had a similar experience.

It’s a song that makes you want to once again give thanks for the cat who changed your life.
