Duke Aces Popular Song Rankings [2026]
Alongside the Bonny Jacks and the Dark Ducks, Duke Aces was one of Japan’s proud chorus groups.
In addition to carrying on the tradition of singing Japanese songs, they were cherished for their gospel and jazz chorus performances.
Though they underwent several member changes as they aged and, to much regret, disbanded in 2017, won’t the masterpieces they left behind remain forever as part of Japan’s musical heritage?

Tetsujin 28-go is a work in which the boy detective Shotaro Kaneda pilots Tetsujin 28, a robot left behind by his father, and has various adventures.
The opening of the first TV anime series, which began airing in 1963, is notable for its introductory ‘Glico Chorus.’
Yassai MossaiDuke Aces2rank/position
It is famous as the song for the “Yassaimosai Dance” performed at the Kisarazu Port Festival.
There is a theory that it is based on the Kisarazu Jinku, and it is arranged so that it can be danced with fun choreography.
It has also drawn attention for being sung by the Japanese male vocal quartet Duke Aces.
I want to go far away.Duke Aces3rank/position
A masterpiece born in the 1970s is still sung today as a graduation song.
This work by Duke Aces is a gem that depicts setting off for an unfamiliar town.
Eiji Yoko’s lyrics and Hachidai Nakamura’s composition blend beautifully, giving you the courage to take a new step forward.
The album “60th Anniversary Edition CD,” which also includes the 1992 re-recorded version, is a must-listen.
Used as the theme song for the TV program “Tooku e Ikitai” (I Want to Go Far Away), it has become a song that remains in many people’s hearts.
It’s recommended not only for graduation ceremonies but also as a track that gives you a push before leaping into a new environment.
The Four Seasons of TakadaDuke Aces4rank/position
It is said that the song began around 1945, when Mr.
Taro Machida, a teacher at what is now Takada High School (then the prefectural Takada Middle School), created it for students who were in a state of lethargy right after the war.
After the Duke Aces sang it, it gradually came to be popularly loved and widely sung.
Tsukuba Foothills ChoirDuke Aces5rank/position
This is a song themed on Mount Tsukuba, the symbol of Ibaraki Prefecture rising over Tsukuba City.
It is one of the Duke Aces’ “Songs of Japan” series and was released in 1970.
The lyrics are by Rokusu kei Ei and the music by Taku Izumi.
It’s a unique song in which frogs are the ones singing.
We Fukui peopleDuke Aces6rank/position
It’s a funny song that’s a bit self-deprecating, yet still sings with pride.
Duke Aces only sing up to the second verse, but apparently there’s actually a third.
What’s really amusing is the conversation with the taxi driver.
Still, even with Eiheiji and Tojinbo mentioned, is it really possible that the prefecture name wouldn’t come to mind?

This is the commercial jingle every Kansai native has heard at least once—the image song for Kani Dōraku, composed by Naniwa’s Mozart, Taro Kida.
Kani Dōraku is famous for its moving crab sign, with its main location in Dotonbori.
Taro Kida composed numerous commercial jingles, and this one is considered one of his signature works.
