The ALFEE Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Distance Under the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE43rank/position

This is a signature song by THE ALFEE, released in 1894.
It drew major attention when Narashino High School performed it at the 101st National High School Baseball Championship in 2019.
The song is notable for its dynamic shifts in tempo, conveying a majestic atmosphere and a powerful sense of forward momentum.
These tempo contrasts are also striking in wind ensemble performances, evoking an image of determination and bravery in the pursuit of victory.
Because the overall tempo has a strong sense of drive, coordinating cheers may be challenging, but when everything clicks perfectly, the feeling of exhilaration is likely to be even more pronounced.
Galaxy Express 999 ~ Brave Love by The Alfee ~THE ALFEE44rank/position

This song became the theme song for a movie.
I actually went to see the film, but I remember feeling a bit disappointed—it was more like a short-story collection or a prologue.
That said, I felt both the movie’s message and The Alfee’s song had the vibe of a cheer for people who are doing their best.
I think Galaxy Express 999 and The Alfee are a great match in terms of atmosphere—what do you think?
Lovers’ PavementTHE ALFEE45rank/position

This song was released in 1984.
The previous year’s hit “Mary Ann” featured bassist Ken Sakurai as the lead vocalist, but on this track Toshihiko Takamizawa returns to lead vocals, making full use of his high register.
Since it was used in a chocolate commercial, many of you have probably heard it.
The luxurious piano intro fits Takamizawa’s image and voice perfectly and leaves a strong impression.
It remains a masterpiece that stands the test of time.
My truthTHE ALFEE46rank/position

It’s a pretty refreshing song with Sakazaki on vocals.
It feels like a cheer song for a troubled young man.
The Alfee really have so many good songs, and this one is wonderful too.
I remember how I looked it up in the dictionary back then, trying hard to find out what the title meant.
A love song for youTHE ALFEE47rank/position

It’s a grand, moving ballad.
The song is by THE ALFEE, a rock band that has remained at the forefront of Japan’s music scene for many years, and it was released in 2017 as their 66th single.
It sings of pure love—the wish to stay with the one you love forever.
Perhaps it suits an adult couple even more.
ChristinaTHE ALFEE48rank/position

It’s a song that’s a bit different from The Alfee’s usual vibe.
It’s upbeat—more like really high-energy—and it really gets the crowd going at concerts.
I think it’s a great example of how they can do this kind of song too.
Sakurai’s vocals fit perfectly and sound great.
After you passed byTHE ALFEE49rank/position

This is The Alfee’s 26th single, released in March 1987.
It was produced as the theme song for Toho-distributed animated film “Touch 3: After You Passed By.” Toshihiko Takamizawa takes the lead vocals on this track, and his clear, high voice combined with the symphonic arrangement creates a very beautiful ballad.
The anime film “Touch 3,” for which this song serves as the theme, was also a major hit, so I’m sure there are many people who feel a strong attachment to it.
I hope you enjoy it.
