Top songs ranking of Atarayo, a three-member band whose popularity exploded from social media

Atarayo, a three-piece band that garnered attention after ranking in Shibuya Trend Research’s “High Schoolers’ Choice: This Year’s Biggest Trends,” has been making waves.

Their band name comes from the word “Atarayo” (可惜夜), meaning “a night so beautiful you regret the dawn,” and they use the tagline “a band that grows by eating sadness.”

They also stand out for their modern approach, gaining popularity by posting songs on social media since 2020.

This time, we present a ranking of Atarayo’s most popular songs.

Released for streaming in January 2024, this song also gained attention as the theme for the Pocari Sweat commercial.

Atarayo’s distinctive vocals, combined with lyrics that resonate deeply, stir listeners’ emotions.

As an anthem cheering on those pursuing their dreams, it’s a track that truly connects with many people.

It has also been selected as the support song for the commercials of the All-Japan High School and All-Japan Junior High School Cheerleading Championships, conveying a powerful sense of encouragement for young people taking on challenges.

I think it’s a perfect song for anyone who wants to try something new or is giving their all.

A four-piece band whose “I’ll Forget Your Silence in October” was a hit, Atarayo’s second digital single of 2021.

The lightly dancing acoustic guitar and fresh band sound leave a strong impression.

It paints a beautiful world where the fleeting end of spring meets the hope of the next one beginning.

The down-to-earth lyrics gently lean into all kinds of “I don’t knows,” and sink in effortlessly.

You might feel as if you’re being reborn with the changing seasons.

Hitomi’s clear vocals on guitar are wonderful, too—this is a lovely track wrapped in freshness.

It’s even more highly recommended than their previous release!

Atarayo – Snow Pierces the Chill (Music Video)
The snow is piercingly coldatarayo

Set against the crisp, piercing air of winter, this work paints a scene of the season’s first snowfall.

Released by Atarayo in December 2022, the song tenderly portrays the ache of memories with a loved one—recollections of the four seasons flashing back like falling snow.

Seasonal images—cherry blossom-lined streets, a seaside café, a field of cosmos—illuminate the feelings of a protagonist who, despite the pain of parting, tries to take a step forward with a faint hope in their heart.

The transparent vocals and arpeggio-driven arrangement delicately capture winter’s quiet and an introspective worldview.

Chosen as the ending theme for ABEMA’s “ABEMA Prime,” it is performed frequently in winter setlists.

On a clear winter night, it will stay close to you as you look back on the past while resolving to face forward.

Atarayo’s new song features a mid-tempo pace and a strikingly bittersweet melody.

Written as the ending theme for the drama “Snowdrop’s First Love,” it was released digitally in October 2024.

The song expresses a wish to make feelings for a loved one eternal amid days that fade away like fleeting droplets.

Atarayo’s signature delicate, sentimental worldview is beautifully rendered through a piano-centered sound.

It’s a track that will likely resonate when you want to reflect on the fragility of everyday life and the connections between people.
