Couple Songs Ranking [2026] (31–40)

Loverssumika31rank/position

sumika / Lovers【Music Video】
Loverssumika

One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.

Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.

Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.

Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.

Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!

Before GoodbyeAAA

This is a song released in 2014 by AAA, a popular dance-vocal unit from avex, which won an Excellence Award at the Japan Record Awards.

The song depicts the breakup of two people who were once lovers.

No matter how deeply two people love each other, there are times when a breakup comes inevitably.

In such moments, I think all we can do is quietly wait for the painful time to pass… This is a song that helps support your feelings during those times.

It expresses, in a straightforward way, the feeling of still loving someone even as you part.

A Little Love SongMONGOL80033rank/position

A straightforward love song by MONGOL800, a rock band from Okinawa.

Its pure lyrics remind us just how precious the people close to us truly are, touching the hearts of many.

Released in September 2001 and included on the album MESSAGE, which sold over 2.8 million copies, the song spent 14 consecutive weeks at No.

2 on the Oricon karaoke chart.

Its enduring popularity is evident in its use as the ending theme for the TV anime Teasing Master Takagi-san and as a motif for a 2019 film.

Put it on as driving music, and you’ll find yourself singing along under the blue sky.

First LoveUtada Hikaru34rank/position

A signature ballad by Hikaru Utada that offers a rewarding challenge for low-voiced women in their 40s.

The range spans E3–F5, with plenty of high notes, but it captivates with a conversational verse and expressive emotion.

Many people will know this song.

Because it’s sung with a whispery tone, it likely brings to mind a kind of head-voice feel.

Basically, head voice requires steady breath support.

If you tense up when taking a breath, you’ll end up chest breathing and won’t inhale enough air.

Diaphragmatic (abdominal) breathing is crucial.

Also, since the song builds up a lot toward the end, be mindful of balancing your volume.

For the English parts, try singing fluidly along the melodic line to lock into the rhythm.

This Saucy Dog song resonates with that feeling.

The bittersweet ache of waiting, somewhere inside, for someone who will never return, softly echoes over a calm melody.

Included on the album Salad Days, this track has been soothing the hearts of those who’ve experienced heartbreak since its release in May 2018.

“My Boo” is a heartwarming ballad by Shota Shimizu, an R&B singer-songwriter from Osaka.

The word “Boo” in the title is English slang for “someone special,” and the lyrics convey, with a touch of shyness, deep gratitude toward that special person and a straightforward desire to have them by your side—feelings that really stir the heart.

The song also uses Auto-Tune, a tool that alters pitch to give a distinctive, artificial nuance, creating a unique atmosphere and setting it apart from ordinary love songs in a wonderful way.

A breakup ballad from a male perspective that portrays the anguish and regret of the one who said goodbye.

It’s a self-cover sung from the viewpoint of the man who leaves the room in Koresawa’s signature song “Tabako.” Released as a digital single in June 2019, it was later included on the concept mini-album “Heartbreak Scrap” in January 2020.

Originally written for Miyuhan, the track drew attention with its music video featuring Ryusei Yokohama.

The song movingly captures the conflict of a man who ends the relationship precisely because he loves her, blaming not her but his own shortcomings.

Highly recommended for anyone who’s experienced the end of a cherished relationship or carries guilt over having hurt someone they love.

True to its title, “LOVE” is a track packed to the brim with the feeling of being in love.

When you’re in love, it’s not all joy and fun—anxieties also come and go—but those shifting emotions feel very real and relatable.

Released in 2004, this second single is an indispensable classic ballad when talking about Sukima Switch.

It was featured as an insert song in the film “Rough” and as a TV drama theme, and in 2006 it was also chosen as the ending theme for the final day of “Nettou Koshien.” The lyrics, depicting a moment of parting, convey the protagonist’s aching attempt to send their feelings to the one who is leaving, along with a wish to remain connected in their hearts.

With its gentle tempo and piano tones that soak into the heart, it’s a profoundly moving track.
