BOØWY Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

OH! MY JULLY Part 1

I sense a refined taste in the way suggestive words are presented broadly as nuanced expressions.

I’m also thrilled by the approach of comically portraying the often murky, heavy friction between a man and a woman who can’t see eye to eye, set to an exhilarating, poppy melody.

OUR REVOLUTIONBOØWY72rank/position

Our Revolution

This is a track where Kyosuke Himuro’s razor-sharp vocals and Tomoyasu Hotei’s guitar riffs strike sparks, embodying the tense atmosphere of a “night before the revolution.” The song seems to carry a fiery message born of youthful restlessness and the urge to smash existing values to build an era of their own.

Featured on the classic album BEAT EMOTION, released in November 1986, this piece is sure to resonate deeply with anyone dissatisfied with the status quo who longs to break through and push beyond.

SCHOOL OUTBOØWY73rank/position

School_Out

Here is the first album by the rock band BOØWY.

Both the sound and the songs are quite different from BOØWY at their peak, which is fascinating.

It’s said that when they debuted, their agency suggested the name “Gunma Bōi” (meaning “Gunma Violence”), so they might have had a delinquent-band image.

Incidentally, Kyosuke Himuro wrote the lyrics for this song, but after receiving a letter from someone who said they related to the song and dropped out of school because of it, he realized the impact he could have on people’s lives and supposedly stopped writing lyrics thereafter.

SENSITIVE LOVEBOØWY74rank/position

Sensitive Love

It’s a BOØWY number that tightens your chest with regret over a love that’s ended and the aching wish to turn back time.

Even though the heart has already gone cold, the protagonist can’t help but recall those happy days—you can almost picture their helplessness, can’t you? This track is a hidden gem, placed at the very end of the masterpiece Beat Emotion, released in November 1986.

On nights when you want to sink into a sentimental mood, it might be nice to fully immerse yourself in the gentle world this song creates.

SYMPHONICBOØWY75rank/position

SYMPHONIC

A song that vividly portrays a fleeting yet beautiful scene of love.

It allows you to relive, almost like watching a single film, the gradient of emotions from the fiery spark of romance to the bittersweet farewell that eventually arrives.

Some listeners may find their youthful love overlapping with the world of this piece, filling their hearts with a tender ache.

This track is included on BOØWY’s classic album “INSTANT LOVE,” released in September 1983.

If you listen to it on a night when you want to indulge in sentiment, its melody will likely seep deep into your heart.

out!BOØWY76rank/position

BOØWY – OUT!

A man who shows off through the way he dresses and what he wears, and whose conversations are full of bragging.

Sometimes he’s looked at with admiration, other times he’s resented.

But once he goes home and is alone, he shows a side of himself you’d never imagine from his usual demeanor!? This is a song that portrays such a pitiable man.

Tomoyasu Hotei / HOTEI – POISON

Songs that depict the toxicity of romance capture listeners’ hearts deeply.

Released in December 2002 as a solo work by Tomoyasu Hotei, it has been loved by many and featured in films and commercials.

It’s irresistible for guitar enthusiasts, characterized by a striking riff and energetic melody.

It’s also perfect as background music while working, with a rhythm that boosts concentration.

It has a charm that makes you want to play it on repeat, and its versatility suits both acoustic and electric guitar.

Recommended for those who want to feel the complex emotions of love or are seeking music that resonates with the heart.
