Cute Song Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Shika no kono kono koko shitantanShikabu43rank/position
Speaking of Shikabu’s songs, this is the piece that drew attention as the opening theme for the anime “Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan.” Characterized by chaotic, comical lyrics and a poppy sound, the track has been making waves alongside the anime that began airing in July 2024.
Its charm lies in its unpredictable developments and avant-garde arrangements.
The unique world sung by the members of Shikabu energizes listeners, and the lyrics that convey the bonds among its distinctive characters are also appealing.
A must-listen for anyone who loves pop and cute tunes.
Kawaii KaiwaiPiKi44rank/position
A new duo embodying pure “kawaii” has formed from the popular idol groups FRUITS ZIPPER and CUTIE STREET.
Their debut song—surprise-performed at a music festival in June 2025 and released digitally in July of the same year—is a sublime electropop track written and composed by Yasutaka Nakata.
The lyrics fully affirm their own cuteness, offering a world that seems to boost your self-esteem just by listening.
The harmony woven by Karen Matsumoto’s macaron-like voice and Haruka Sakuraba’s cotton-candy voice is pure healing.
The song is also featured as the ending theme for the TV anime My Dress-Up Darling Season 2, showcasing perfect compatibility with the anime’s world.
It’s the ideal track for recreating the dance on social media and having fun.
Marigoldaimyon45rank/position
It’s one of Aimyon’s signature songs that captures the hearts of many, a piece that can sound like it’s singing of a love that will never change, or like it’s nostalgically recalling a pure romance from the past.
The beautiful lyrics, like a snapshot of youth, convey a strong resolve—never letting go, whether close by or far apart.
Delivered in Aimyon’s unadorned voice, the message—“If you love someone, you have to keep thinking of them single-mindedly no matter the circumstances!”—gently sinks into the heart.
Sorry for Being Cute (feat. Capi)HONEY WORKS46rank/position
HoneyWorks, a creator unit known for producing numerous songs themed around romance, released “Kawaikute Gomen (feat.
Kapi)” in 2022.
It’s been used in a variety of TikTok videos, from dances to makeup clips.
The lyrics express the candid feelings of modern women, which many listeners may relate to.
Beyond its cuteness, the song’s message carries a touch of irony that resonates deeply.
With band instrumentation featuring poppy synths and guitar tones, it’s a track where girlish vocals truly shine.
I tried falling in love with you.chay47rank/position
If you’re looking for a mature love song, we recommend “Anata ni Koi wo Shitemimashita.” When it comes to chay, her husky voice is definitely the most captivating, right? You can fully savor chay’s husky vocals in “Anata ni Koi wo Shitemimashita.” The slightly retro, Showa-era style melody gives it a nostalgic feel.
That said, it’s basically modern at its core, so even teens can enjoy listening to it.
Be sure to check it out!
Sukitchu no! (feat. Kapi)HONEY WORKS48rank/position
HoneyWorks is a creator unit gaining attention through internet-centered activities such as TikTok and YouTube.
Their 2023 release “Sukicchu-no!” is a song that portrays a girl’s honest feelings of love.
Saori Hayami, who sang the viral SNS hit “Kawaikute Gomen,” serves as the vocalist, and as part of a collaboration project, Kapi also performs a vocal version.
Set to a rhythmic band arrangement, it’s a love song that strings together words of affection for one’s oshi (favorite idol/person).
TT -Japanese ver.-Twice49rank/position
TWICE’s “TT,” which expresses crying with its signature TT hand gesture choreography, is recommended because the chorus moves are relatively easy among their songs.
It’s of course cute when female employees dance it, but it would likely be a hit if male employees dressed in drag performed it too.
Like TWICE, if you coordinate outfits so that, while each is different, they share some common elements in color, shape, or overall vibe, it will create a sense of unity.
If getting together to practice is difficult, exchange videos of yourselves dancing and fine-tune things by comparing them.
