dustbox Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Smile like a childdustbox41rank/position

dustbox – Smile like a child

A track that begins with a muted guitar reminiscent of a music box.

While its core is straightforward melodic hardcore, it features a bossa nova–style section in the middle and highly varied choral work, making it a classic that shows how musically sophisticated they already were at the time, despite it being an older song in their catalog.

Tomorrowdustbox42rank/position

Dustbox – Tomorrow

It’s a melodic track where the melody bursts in over a simple riff.

The catchy chorus phrase is so addictive you can’t forget it after just one listen.

The flowing guitar lines are another highlight!

Wall of icedustbox43rank/position

I tried playing dustbox's 'Wall of Ice'.

From the 4th album “Seeds of Rainbows.” An unconventional track that starts with a quiet guitar, gradually builds tension, and then fades out softly again.

The torrential high-tone melody in the latter half is also striking.

The drums use relatively little two-beat outside the chorus, making it something of a curveball; precisely because of that, it showcases the breadth of their songwriting.

ROTTENGRAFFTY × dustbox “nothing to be afraid of” Music Video

This track, where adrenaline-charged melodic punk collides with muscular loud rock, is a collaboration between close allies ROTTENGRAFFTY and dustbox.

Looking back on the days when we started walking without knowing left from right, and the times when loneliness nearly crushed us, it delivers heartfelt thanks to the friends who stood by us and a steadfast vow—“we don’t give up easily”—sung powerfully in both English and Japanese.

Released in December 2024 as part of the dust’nGRAFFTY project, the song was also performed at ROTTENGRAFFTY’s own event, ‘Kyoto Chotokkyu 2024.’

A.B.C.DISCOdustbox45rank/position

I tried playing dustbox’s A.B.C. DISCO

A track from the tribute album “We are DISCO!!!” for the disco-rock band the telephones, who are currently on hiatus.

dustbox and the telephones are both bands from Saitama, and members of the telephones reportedly watched dustbox at Saitama live houses back in their high school days.

The song is built on a disco beat while fully showcasing dustbox’s signature melodic hardcore sound, resulting in an arrangement that can truly be called outstanding.

Bird Of Passagedustbox46rank/position

Dustbox – Bird Of Passage

This is a dustbox song that sings about the desire to keep chasing dreams, like a bird riding the wind and flying free.

It was released in November 2008, around the time they put out albums like “13 Brilliant Leaves” and “Seeds of Rainbows.” Amid the exhilarating, fast-paced melodic punk sound, the band’s pop sensibilities shine through.

The line about “not forgetting how to fly” leaves a strong impression, capturing a forward-looking attitude that refuses to give up on dreams.

It’s the kind of track that makes you want to raise your fist and join a massive sing-along at a live show—a must for punk rock fans.

Dustbox – Bittersweet

Once George’s bass kicks in, the kids will explode with excitement like they’ve been waiting for it.

There’s no doubt tons of kids will be going “Fooo!” when they hear it live.

It’s a must-know track even for dustbox beginners.

Blinding Light

Featured on the 25th-anniversary tribute album “Timeless Melodies – a tribute to dustbox -,” this track is an anthem that sings of setback and comeback, anxiety and hope.

Written as a thank-you to the fans and friends who have supported the band over the years, the song is crafted with a structure designed for massive sing-alongs at live shows.

Released in July 2024, it was also performed at the one-man event “KOSHIROCK GALAXY 2024” at Toyosu PIT in October of the same year.

When you’re feeling down or need the courage to move forward, listening to this song will surely help you rise again.

Broken Wingsdustbox49rank/position

Dustbox – Broken Wings (LIVE).flv

It’s a fast-paced number that comes in hard right from the intro.

Once the intro ends and the vocals kick in, it feels catchy and poppy, making it irresistible for fans of melodic punk.

The occasional breaks sprinkled throughout will catch you off guard in the best way.

Emotionsdustbox50rank/position

dustbox “Emotions”『Intergalactic』2022.09.07

The moment those adrenaline-charged guitar riffs hit, the floor erupts into chaos—this track is also known as a live anthem.

Featured as the second song on the September 2022 album “Intergalactic,” it became a defining piece of the tour.

A powerful message is sung to listeners carrying wounded hearts, urging them to release their emotions, and the repeated chorus—“It’s okay to scream, it’s okay to cry”—cuts deep.

Many have likely found courage in the lyrics that kick away others’ negative words and encourage you not to let the fire inside you die out.
