BAAD Popular Song Rankings [2026]
BAAD, the rock band that made headlines by restarting in 2023 for the first time in roughly 30 years since their breakup.
They’re also known for creating “Kimi ga Suki da to Sakebitai,” which became a huge hit as the opening theme of the TV anime SLAM DUNK.
Although they were artists from the Being camp that dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s, they were distinctive in that they carried on without receiving song contributions from Tetsurō Oda or Seiichirō Kuribayashi.
This time, we’re introducing a ranking of BAAD’s most popular songs—why not take the opportunity to discover some hidden gems?

A BAAD number that was used as the opening theme for the wildly popular basketball anime SLAM DUNK and etched into many hearts.
Released in December 1993, this song rides on a refreshing sound to portray the frustrating feelings of being torn between friendship and budding romance.
At the same time, its straightforward lyrics—shouting a desire to break through the status quo and confess one’s feelings—resonate not only with love, but also with the passion of athletes single-mindedly chasing their dreams.
Perhaps because that intensity strikes a chord, Yokohama DeNA BayStars player Shugo Maki uses it as his walk-up song for his first at-bat.
