B’z Ballad Songs: Popular Songs Ranking [2026]
Someday Merry ChristmasB’z1rank/position
A song by B’z, the two-piece rock unit that has remained at the forefront for over 30 years since their debut and can be called a living legend of the Japanese rock scene.
Among the many beautiful ballads B’z has released, this one is especially popular with fans, and even many people who aren’t fans know it.
Tracing the beautiful memories with a lover and seeing oneself in a stranger—lyrics like these can make your chest tighten when you sing them after a heartbreak.
With poignant lyrics carried straight to the heart by emotional vocals and gentle acoustic guitar arpeggios, it’s a song you’ll want to belt out at karaoke when you’ve had your heart broken.
ALONEB’z2rank/position
Under the twilight sky, standing alone while thinking of a loved one.
It conjures a poignant yet beautiful scene—an exquisite ballad that represents B’z.
The lyrics, which portray how time apart only deepens one’s feelings for the other, are truly heart-wrenching.
Released in October 1991, the song became a million-seller as the theme for the drama “Hotel Woman.” In live performances, Koshi Inaba’s piano-and-vocal rendition has become a legendary moment among fans.
Listen to it on a night spent alone, and it will gently keep your lonely heart company.
OCEANB’z3rank/position
An emotional ballad whose grand sound woven by piano and strings resonates deep in the heart.
It likens an unwavering resolve—to protect a loved one and overcome any hardship together—to the boundless expanse of the open sea.
Released in August 2005, the song richly colored the story as the theme for the drama “Umizaru: UMIZARU EVOLUTION,” and won Song of the Year at the 20th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
When you want to reaffirm the bond with someone precious, it will gently give you a push forward.
On the hill where the moon is visible tonightB’z4rank/position
This song was written as the theme for the drama “Beautiful Life: The Days We Were Together.” The lyrics vividly convey the suffering one experiences while being with a loved one and the determination to keep walking together.
Layered with B’z’s signature powerful sound, it evokes a sense of the couple’s strong love and connection.
It’s a track that communicates both the desire to slowly get to know someone precious and the strong wish to make that person happy.
I wanted to kiss you again.B’z5rank/position
A ballad included on the 1991 album “IN THE LIFE,” it’s a story-driven song that portrays a journey from a summer meeting to a winter farewell.
It’s a karaoke staple that lets you deliver a tender, heartfelt performance.
The overall vocal range is slightly low at F3–G#4, so even singers who struggle with high notes should find it manageable.
One thing to watch out for: just because it sits low and feels easy, don’t overuse your throat.
If your pitch drops, your tone will get muffled and your vocal performance will suffer.
Try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows, and sing with a constant sense of resonance between your eyebrows—the sound will flow more comfortably.
Don’t Leave MeB’z6rank/position
B’z is a rock unit that continues to enjoy unwavering popularity with a solid, Western-style rock sound and lyrics that many men can relate to.
Their 14th single, “Don’t Leave Me,” used as the theme song for the TV drama “New Airport Story,” makes a strong impact right from its intro featuring a blues harp.
The passionate shouts laid over a relaxed shuffle beat and the bluesy guitar solo may have reminded some fans of B’z’s roots, distinct from their prior pop-rock direction.
It’s an emotional rock ballad that fully explains how they were already dominating the J-pop scene at the time.
My beloved, good night…B’z7rank/position
This is the seventh single by B’z, a two-member rock unit known for a wide range of hits from hard rock tracks to lyrical ballads.
Used as the ending theme for the TV drama “Daihyou Torishimariyaku Keiji,” the song is a classic ballad whose gentle piano tones and tear-jerking guitar phrases stir the heart.
Despite being B’z’s first ballad released as a single, it remains highly popular among fans today.
With straightforward lyrics and a melody that feels like being enveloped in a great love, it’s a heartrending ballad that tightens the chest.
