The Dresscodes Popular Song Ranking [2026]

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Doresukōzu15rank/position

the dresscodes [LIVE] 'Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani' (from 'ID10+ TOUR')

How about an up-tempo, stylish jazz number? It’s included on their sixth album, “Jazz,” released in 2019.

The title means “Why does God forsake me?” The piece has a reckless, devil-may-care worldview, as if singing half in resignation about one’s own flaws.

Yet both the phrasing and the musical vibe carry Shima’s signature sense of chic.

And that vocal style…

it really makes you want to try it at karaoke.

The Dresscodes – Slogan (AUDITION VIDEO)

“Slogan,” included on Audition, released in 2015.

Opening with technical guitar work, this track is a rock number brimming with a sense of speed.

Precisely because of its simple band setup, you can really feel the intent behind each instrument.

Its subtly lo-fi atmosphere evokes post-rock from the UK and Iceland.

The lyrics, literary like tanka or poetry, are also compelling.

It offers encouragement to those who, while struggling through everyday life, refuse to give up on love or on living.

the dresscodes – Hippies (LIVE MV short ver.)

This track was included on the Hippies E.P., which was released as a declaration of liberation for dance music.

While its dancehall-like feel differs from their previous rock ’n’ roll style, it was, according to Ryohei Shima, one challenge born from the belief that “with this lineup, we have the potential to take on a wider variety of music.”

The Dresscodes 'Peter Ivers' MUSIC VIDEO

This song, with its pleasantly crisp acoustic guitar tones, was included as the final track on the seventh album, “Bayer,” released in 2021, and was chosen as the theme song for the animated film “On-Gaku: Our Sound,” based on the original work by Hiroyuki Ohashi and directed by Kenji Iwaisawa.

The song bears the name of Peter Ivers, an American musician with a devoted cult following.

It feels as though both the lyrics and the title express a musical culture so expansive and deep that it can’t be neatly summed up by words like “Music is freedom.”

Dresscodes – Luxury and Humor (STUDIO LIVE VIDEO)

It’s precisely when you feel lonely or isolated that bright, catchy music can give you strength.

“Luxury and Humor,” included on The Dresscodes’ 2015 release Audition, is a song packed with humorous charm.

Its dazzling brass band and pop melodies resonate with a classical flair.

Pay attention to the lyrics that portray real, everyday loneliness and isolation.

The track, which blends the joys and hardships of life, offers a truly unique appeal.

Give it a listen if you’re into music that traces back to the roots of Black music and soul.

Another Girl, Another PlanetDoresukōzu20rank/position

Another Girl, Another Planet / the dresscodes × Shinji Takeda

It’s a cover of The Only Ones.

For this live performance, they invited Shinji Takeda on saxophone.

They translated the lyrics into Japanese and added their own arrangement.

While preserving the vibe of UK punk, it feels even more punk and more rock.

Automatic PunkDoresukōzu21rank/position

Automatic Punk

It’s a track that feels like the very embodiment of fiercely performed punk.

When they play this song live, the venue is instantly swallowed up by their atmosphere.

In the middle of the track you get a rugged guitar solo, sharp cymbal sounds, a distorted bass, and The Dresscodes sounding aggressive and cool.
