CHAGE and ASKA Popular Song Rankings [2026]

[MV] RED HILL / CHAGE and ASKA

When it comes to artists who enjoyed immense popularity during the peak era of CD sales in Japanese music in the 80s and 90s, CHAGE and ASKA come to mind! “RED HILL” is included on the album of the same title, “RED HILL.” In the lyrics, there’s a whispered “What should I do?”, expressing the inner conflict of choosing between options, with the fear that the choice might lead to hell.

Many people find CHAGE and ASKA’s songs hard to sing because of the high notes, but this one is mid-tempo, so I think it’s singable!

It always begins with rain / CHAGE and ASKA

The gently moving ballad “Hajimari wa Itsumo Ame” by CHAGE and ASKA.

On streaming services you can only hear ASKA’s solo version, but on YouTube there are videos of the two of them singing together, so definitely check them out! The overall vocal range of the song is a relatively relaxed C#3–G#4, so it should be singable without too much strain.

Since the chorus goes a bit higher, lifting your facial muscles and resonating in your head can make it easier to hit the pitches.

Also, consciously articulating the vowels will add emphasis and make it feel great to sing!

Picnic

Munching on a homemade sandwich while whistling—a heartwarming CHAGE and ASKA song that conjures up such a peaceful holiday scene.

This piece is included on the classic album “CODE NAME.2 SISTER MOON,” released in April 1996.

Although there was no official tie-in, the album sold over 460,000 copies.

The message, “Let’s think about tomorrow when tomorrow comes,” has a freeing charm, doesn’t it? When you want to step away from the busyness of everyday life, listening to this song can make an ordinary day feel like a special moment.

You know, tonight…CHAGE and ASKA32rank/position

Just a Little Tonight / CHAGE and ASKA

A breezy pop song.

It sings of a man’s feelings as he praises a woman whose strength can’t be glossed over with mere words once she’s upset, while he skillfully tames her with his sweet, needy charm, enjoying their playful back-and-forth and inviting her—something like, “let me hold you again tonight.”

North Wind StoryCHAGE and ASKA33rank/position

North Wind Story

A heartwarming song that you’ll want to listen to as the winter cold sets in.

Released as a single by CHAGE and ASKA in October 1982, it’s also well known as the CM song for Myojo Foods’ “Charumera.” A warm, ballad-like piece that blends folk and pop, it delicately portrays lost love and parting, carried by the north wind.

ASKA’s vocals and the simple acoustic sound leave a strong impression, creating a wistful atmosphere that seeps into the listener’s heart.

The wintery melody and lyrics beautifully depict the pain of heartbreak and the hope of reunion.

It’s a recommended track for those troubled by love or for moments when you want to think of someone special.

BROTHERCHAGE and ASKA34rank/position

CHAGE and ASKA BROTHER

Even if they aren’t related by blood, people sometimes call kindred spirits “brothers.” The song “BROTHER” by CHAGE and ASKA uses “BROTHER” more in the sense of someone you click with rather than an actual sibling, though of course it would also resonate well with close brothers.

The track is included on CHAGE and ASKA’s 17th album, “Code Name.1 Brother Sun,” released in 1995.
