Ranking of Popular Songs by DISH// [2026]
DISH// is a Japanese dance-rock band formed from EBiDAN, an artist collective made up of talents affiliated with Stardust Promotion.
With the addition of Daichi Izumi, the band has taken on more of a traditional band sound compared to their early days and continues to grow as a dance-rock band.
Here, we’ve put together a selection of their popular songs to introduce.
DISH// Popular Song Ranking [2026] (1–10)
catDISH//1rank/position
DISH//, with actor Takumi Kitamura as the lead vocalist.
The song “Neko,” written and composed by Aimyon, is very popular among men.
One point to watch when singing is not to belt too much on the high notes in the chorus.
The song’s structure is straightforward, gradually building from the verse to the chorus.
Since Kitamura doesn’t use falsetto in his singing, many students end up belting the chorus in chest voice, which puts strain on the throat.
If you open your eyes wide and focus on projecting the voice forward rather than pulling it back, your core will be engaged and you’ll gradually be able to produce the sound more easily.
Daphne (winter daphne)DISH//2rank/position
This popular rock number by DISH// drew attention as a co-written piece by vocalist Takumi Kitamura and Hattori from Macaroni Empitsu.
It delicately portrays the themes of deep affection for someone who is always by your side as you move forward each day, and the importance of having a place to return to.
Chosen as the theme song for the drama “The Winner in February: The Classroom of Guaranteed Success,” it was released as a single in November 2021 and is also included on the acclaimed album “TRIANGLE.” The warm, enveloping sound and the buoyant, march-like rhythm feel so pleasant.
Brimming with feelings for cherished friends and family, this song is, in my view, perfect as BGM for a graduation-celebration movie, enhancing touching scenes that invite both smiles and tears.
No.1DISH//3rank/position
A high-octane rock tune that paints heroes breaking past their limits and carving out the future with fiery sound.
The band’s piano-and-guitar interplay delivers a rush of exhilaration, as if your field of vision suddenly opens up.
The theme—aiming for the top and constantly reinventing yourself—will surely strike a powerful chord with listeners.
It’s a track by DISH// chosen as the opening theme for Season 5 of the TV anime My Hero Academia, released in May 2021 as their 13th single.
Vocalist Takumi Kitamura’s powerful voice captures the world of the song brilliantly—it feels absolutely amazing.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to take a new step forward and needing a push on their back.
Plan ADISH//4rank/position
It’s a song with a powerful message that affirms even “running away” as a positive, forward-looking decision, giving a push to those of us living in the present day.
Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Elusive Samurai,” it was released as a CD single in September 2024.
In fact, for this track, vocalist Takumi Kitamura handled the lyrics, while all the members of DISH// composed the music together.
The “wa” elements—such as tones reminiscent of Japanese taiko drums and the conch shell horn—are superbly fused with their signature, high-velocity dance rock.
The lyrical worldview, which declares that strategic retreat can be a perfectly valid best option, makes your heart feel lighter when you’re trying a bit too hard.
It’s an energetic yet warm number that’s sure to get the crowd fired up live.
Thank you for liking me.DISH//5rank/position
A heartwarming ballad in which the protagonist, fresh from a breakup, honestly conveys the gratitude they held for their lover.
Delicate piano melodies and DISH//’s gentle vocals carefully weave together the protagonist’s feelings of “thank you.” It portrays emotions anyone who has experienced love can relate to—thoughts left unsaid at the moment of parting, gratitude for the days spent together, and the wish for the other person’s happiness.
Originally included as a B-side to the single “Hengao de Bye Bye!!,” released in December 2014, this song also received a retake version on the album “Ao,” released in September 2022.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you wish to express gratitude to someone important, or when you’re trying to overcome a breakup.
Starting OverDISH//6rank/position
It’s a track packed with powerful messages that give you a push when you’re ready to make a fresh start or hit the reset button.
The music video—showing the band facing forward even as rain pours down—is striking, and you can feel a fiery energy that reads like a declaration of resolve as a band.
With Hiroki Arai’s exhilarating, fast-paced sound and Takumi Kitamura’s emotional vocals layered together, it’s a song that makes your heart swell every time you listen.
Released in July 2018 as DISH//’s 12th single, the track was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Zoids Wild.
As their first single under the new lineup, I think it also stands as a work symbolizing a major turning point for the group.
Its worldview—shaking off the past and sprinting toward a new future—will likely strike deep in the hearts of those dealing with doubt.
Give it a listen when you want to take on something new or reset your mindset and give it your all.

Lyrics by Takumi Kitamura, composition by Shuhei Tachibana and Daichi Izumi—the fact that the members themselves were involved in the production also drew attention.
Inspired by the real experience of “seeing the moon in the morning,” it carries a message that even if you can’t smile now, a day will come when you can.
The track is also included on the album “aRange,” released in April 2026.
