Aoyama Thelma Popular Song Ranking [2026] (1–10)
I’ll be by your side.Aoyama Teruma ft. SoulJa1rank/position

A duet number that epitomizes the Heisei era, brimming with the bittersweet feeling of longing for someone far away.
Created as an answer song to SoulJa’s “Koko ni Iru yo,” this piece beautifully captures the wavering emotions of the woman’s perspective.
Released as a single in January 2008, it was featured in NTT Docomo’s Spring 2008 campaign TV commercial and was later included on the classic album “DIARY.” Its mellow, beautiful melody intertwines exquisitely with rhythmic rap, making it a guaranteed crowd-pleaser when sung as a duet.
It’s the perfect song for those who want to enjoy call-and-response at karaoke, or for anyone who wants to sing gently and tenderly while thinking of someone special.
I really hate it, but thank you.Aoyama Teruma2rank/position
Love is wonderful, but it’s not all sunshine and roses, right? Released as Thelma Aoyama’s fifth single, this song is a love ballad that captures exactly those feelings.
Her powerful vocals leave a lasting impression!
Friends for lifeAoyama Teruma3rank/position

This piece is included on the album “10TH DIARY,” released in September 2017 to mark the 10th anniversary of her debut.
It’s a song in which Thelma Aoyama expresses her gratitude to her friends.
The unadorned lyrics offer a reassuring sense that even if we go down different paths, our hearts remain connected.
It’s the perfect anthem of support—one you’ll want to sing with smiles, arms around your closest friends at karaoke after the graduation ceremony.
To MomAoyama Teruma4rank/position

This is a song of gratitude from a daughter to her mother.
It’s packed tightly with the strength of a mother who has continued to support her child on her own, as well as the anxieties hidden behind that strength.
Sung by Thelma Aoyama, it was included on her album “DIARY,” released in March 2008.
The song was used as the commercial theme for Lotte’s Ghana Milk Chocolate starting in April 2008.
Its unadorned vocals and gentle melody are crafted in a way that can move you to tears.
Though many things may have happened until now, this piece is perfect for those moments when you want to honestly express your gratitude.
How about listening to it together with older adults while looking back on your shared memories?
many timesAoyama Teruma5rank/position

As graduation approaches, some of you may find yourselves looking back on past memories more often.
As a companion for those moments, I highly recommend listening to “Nando mo.” It’s performed by singer-songwriter Thelma Aoyama.
The song reflects on past memories, expressing both the wish to do things over again and the resolve to look forward.
It also conveys the regret of not being able to confess one’s feelings, so if you’ve had a similar experience, you’re sure to relate.
CRAZY OUTSIDEMIYACHI & Aoyama Teruma6rank/position

The collaborative track CRAZY OUTSIDE by Thelma Aoyama and MIYACHI is a song with a hip-hop flavor.
MIYACHI is a Japanese American rapper based in New York, and his style that blends English and Japanese is seriously cool.
The song is included on his EP GOOD NIGHT TOKYO, released in January 2021, and it was also released as a single in March of the same year.
Its laid-back, programmed rhythm is the kind of sound you often hear in R&B and hip-hop, and it just makes you want to move your body.
Always.Aoyama Teruma7rank/position

It’s a song by Thelma Aoyama.
Thelma Aoyama is sometimes in the spotlight for her mischievous personality, but her songs are popular for their very feminine, relatable lyrics.
It’s a track that says “thank you” to someone who stays by your side—even when you argue or make them feel bad.
ONE WAYAoyama Teruma8rank/position

It was released in 2007 as Thelma Aoyama’s debut single.
It was featured in TV commercials for Dwango’s “dwango.jp” and MLJ’s “Artist Official Sound.” It’s an upbeat track that gets people excited and energized.
stay with meAoyama Teruma9rank/position

Teruma Aoyama, who has also been active on variety shows lately, has been releasing tracks that feature hip-hop from time to time, while of course also putting out orthodox ballads.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is “stay with me.” It’s an R&B-style track, but it doesn’t incorporate that many advanced R&B techniques.
There are plenty of long sustained notes and many parts that make use of vibrato, making it a perfect piece for practice.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
I’ll be by your side.Aoyama Teruma10rank/position

Speaking of Thelma Aoyama, it has to be this song.
It’s still a hugely popular track.
Thelma Aoyama is an artist who sings many great songs, but in her private life she’s very funny.
