THE ALFEE Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (21–30)
Endless MessageTHE ALFEE22rank/position

A song with a very striking intro that begins with a hymn-like pipe organ image.
It’s a message song passionately sung by Mr.
Takamizawa.
It’s also very popular at concerts and is one of the songs that makes me very happy when they perform it.
pantomimeTHE ALFEE23rank/position

This is their seventh single, released in 1980.
Although it was chosen as the theme song for the TV Tokyo drama “Aitsu to Ore,” the show ended after just four episodes—making the song emblematic of THE ALFEE’s unfortunate circumstances at the time.
Even so, its mournful melody is very beautiful, and it stands as a hidden gem from THE ALFEE’s folk era.
Hurry, dreamTHE ALFEE24rank/position

This song was adopted as the image song for the 1987 Osaka International Women’s Marathon.
Since then, THE ALFEE has provided the image song for the Osaka International Women’s Marathon every year.
Although it was not released as a single, it remains a highly popular track among fans.
Heartless Love XTHE ALFEE25rank/position

A track included on THE ALFEE’s 2015 album “Trinity.” Set in a melodic metal style, the song brims with speed while the switch-vocal delivery explodes with drama.
In these lyrics, the parts are sung separately by a woman and a man—a technique only THE ALFEE could pull off.
Listen while imagining two lovers drowning in a forbidden affair.
SWEAT & TEARSTHE ALFEE26rank/position
This is THE ALFEE’s 23rd single, released on July 5, 1986.
Incidentally, the band name was changed from “Alfie” to “THE ALFEE” starting with this release.
Around that time, they skillfully incorporated the pop-oriented hard rock sound that had become a worldwide movement—and would later be derided by some as “corporate rock.” The keyboard-riff intro, in particular, feels like a sound that truly symbolizes “that era.”
See You AgainTHE ALFEE27rank/position

The opening track of the 1982 album “doubt,” this song draws you in with an unforgettable shift from a fleeting, dazzling 80s-style sound and a thrilling, fast-paced start into a slightly calmer development.
It’s a richly atmospheric piece that shines with the rare lead vocals by Takami.
It brings back nostalgic memories.
Though it’s a heartbreak song portraying a bittersweet man’s feelings, it’s undeniably cool and has become a staple number that always fires up the crowd—prompting huge sing-alongs at live shows.
Embraced by the wintry wind…THE ALFEE28rank/position

THE ALFEE’s classic hit is a melodic rock song themed around a bittersweet unrequited love.
Lyrics that evoke winter’s chill and a sense of loneliness resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in March 1987, the track was also used as the theme song for the TV drama “Don’t Cry.” It reached No.
29 on the Oricon charts and garnered support from a broad audience.
Its wistful atmosphere makes it perfect for the cold season, offering comfort to those troubled by love.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to savor on long winter nights.
