The Cro-Magnons Popular Song Rankings [2026] (21–30)
BO Chille (riot)Za Kuromaniyonzu22rank/position
The 19th single, “Bo-doh Child (BO CHILE),” released in November 2020.
Over a snappy snare, Hiroto Kōmoto unleashes a long blues harp solo.
From an intro so satisfying you wish it could go on forever, it bursts into lyrics, melody, and beats worthy of the bold title.
Kōmoto’s performance—aggressive and punk to a degree unbelievable for someone who was 57 at the time of release—commands admiration.
It’s an energetic track by The Cro-Magnons that, in the best sense, refuses to “evolve.”
Human MachZa Kuromaniyonzu23rank/position
“Human Mach” from their 7th album, YETI vs CROMAGNON, released in 2013.
As the title suggests, it’s a song delivered at an irresistibly satisfying tempo featuring blisteringly fast eight-beat.
As expected, a rock band truly comes alive on stage—this track radiates a powerful, energetic live feel.
It’s a song that brings back the feeling from when we first discovered that fast is cool—the kind of rock that stirs the deep, primal power within us.
Jump on!! Bonnie!!Za Kuromaniyonzu24rank/position
The 8th single from 2011 is a double A-side single with compositions by Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima.
Among them is “TobinoRe!! Bonnie!!,” composed by Hiroto Kōmoto.
As the title suggests, it features an exhilarating beat that feels like galloping on horseback, blending a vibe reminiscent of old superhero team shows and even military songs—an incredibly cool track.
It’s packed with playful ideas, from its rugged, masculine choruses and rhythm changes to the final breath, offering plenty of twists that keep it engaging throughout.
Blitzkrieg BopZa Kuromaniyonzu25rank/position
This commercial showcases The Cro-Magnons delivering a powerful performance amid a unique landscape where rocks and Pepsi bottles are ruggedly lined up, highlighting Pepsi’s bold, invigorating refreshment.
Even within this mysterious world, they perform just as they always do, conveying a sense of staying true to themselves.
Underscoring the strength of the visuals is The Cro-Magnons’ rendition of “Blitzkrieg Bop.” A cover of The Ramones’ song, its straightforward rock sound and the iconic opening chant convey an outpouring of energy.
Be gentle with SaturnZa Kuromaniyonzu26rank/position
“Be Gentle to Saturn” was included as the final track on The Cro-Magnons’ debut album The Cro-Magnons, released in 2006.
When I first saw the title, it reminded me of The Blue Hearts’ “Be Kind to People,” but rest assured: it’s 100% The Cro-Magnons in flavor, a rock tune brimming with the feel of a mysterious band and an unidentified-creature vibe.
Whether it’s humor or deadly serious, it’s a fun track sung with the peculiar sense of balance characteristic of early Cro-Magnons.
streamlinedZa Kuromaniyonzu27rank/position
The 8th single of 2011 is a double A-side single, with compositions by Masatoshi Mashima and Hiroto Kōmoto respectively.
One of them is “Ryūsengata,” composed by Masatoshi Mashima.
Unusually for a single, the song begins with a minor chord.
Its lonely, dry atmosphere makes sense, as it’s performed with acoustic guitar and tambourine, and together with a country-tinged bass, it creates a distinctive mood.
It’s a track that carries a sense of nostalgia, and the lyrics—like regaining the heart of a boy—seem to embody their unchanging brand of punk.
full swingZa Kuromaniyonzu28rank/position
This song, with its strikingly straightforward message, is a track by The Cro-Magnons included on the album “JAMBO JAPAN,” released in October 2025.
It’s a song that cheers you on to “go all in and take on challenges without worrying about appearances.” As the title suggests—“you’ve got to start by trying, and if you do it, do it wholeheartedly without holding back”—its direct message has surely encouraged many listeners.
The song was featured in a Rakuraku Cloud commercial depicting Kenichi Takitō, Natsuko Yokozawa, and Mone Kamishiraishi working hard in an office.
