Chara's Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Swallowtail Butterfly ~A Love Song~Chara15rank/position

Swallowtail Butterfly ~Song of Love~ (JEWEL ver.)

This is a song by a fictional band called YEN TOWN BAND that appeared in director Shunji Iwai’s film Swallowtail.

The vocalist Chara’s voice and the melody, together with the lyrics, make it quite heartrending, but as the title “Ai no Uta” (Song of Love) suggests, it’s a song with a sense of hope.

Joy to the WorldChara16rank/position

As a Christmas project, UNIQLO is collaborating with Chara! Not only did she provide the song for the web movie, but Chara herself also appears in it, showing her debating Christmas gifts and decorating for the holiday.

The song Chara sings is the classic Christmas carol “Joy to the World,” known in Japanese as “Morobito Kozorite.” While the song usually has an energetic feel, in Chara’s hands it’s transformed into something cute and uniquely her own.

Ice CreamChara17rank/position

Ice Creame

How about a song that’s sweet and a little bittersweet—like an ice cream that’s just starting to melt? The singer is Chara, who captivates many fans with her uniquely immersive world.

Accompanied by scenes of eating ice cream, the song portrays a pure yet slightly precarious feeling of love, expressed through Chara’s signature airy, floating vocals.

It’s not just sweet; the mix of anxiety and impatience creates a complex emotion that slowly resonates with the listener.

This track was the B-side to the single “Koi o Shita,” released in September 1993, and is also included on the acclaimed album Violet Blue, which debuted at No.

4 on the Oricon charts.

[Full/Lyrics] Setsunai Mono - CHARA Transparent Cradle Theme Song (Cover/NAADA)

Setsunai Mono by CHARA was chosen as the theme song for the NHK drama The Transparent Cradle.

It’s a track that perfectly matches the stories of life and death unfolding in an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, and there’s no doubt it will move you to tears when enjoyed alongside the drama.

Though short, it’s a true gem that leaves a strong impression.

70% – Song of TwilightChara19rank/position

Chara “70% - Song at Dusk”

It was released as a single in 1999.

Its mellow, dreamlike sound might help you forget your real-life worries.

It’s a classic that carries not only the melancholic feel of dusk but also hope for tomorrow.

Don’t miss the music video, which showcases CHARA’s world in full force!

Cherry CherryChara20rank/position

Chara – Cherry Cherry

This is a 2007 song by Chara, and I think it’s one that allows each listener to interpret it in their own way.

The tone of the song has a fragile, heartrending atmosphere.

I wonder if there’s some meaning embedded in the monochrome music video as well.

DucaChara21rank/position

Chara 『Duca』

This is a song included on the 1999 album “Strange Fruits.” “DUCA” is the name of the dog owned by Chara’s manager.

The song portrays parting from a loved one and walking a new path while recalling that person’s scent.
