Finger 5 Popular Song Ranking [2026]
School HeavenFingā 51rank/position

This commercial powerfully conveys that UQ mobile’s UQ Student Discount is a service that benefits not only students but also their families.
It starts with students led by Kyoko Fukada, Mikako Tabe, and Mei Nagano seeming to be at odds with their families, but then shows a sense of unity that communicates how the service makes everyone happy.
In the footage, both sides sing an arrangement of Finger 5’s “Gakuen Tengoku.” The call-and-response at the beginning highlights the conflict, but the climactic section clearly expresses the fun.
Through the lightness of the sound, it gives an overall positive impression.
Love Dial 6700Fingā 52rank/position

This commercial features Bakarhythm performing a dance as a quirky character, highlighting the positive appeal of en Ten-Shoku.
Alongside the sharp dance moves, information about en Ten-Shoku is clearly introduced through on-screen text and narration, expressing that it’s an optimistic, forward-looking service.
The dance’s background music is a parody of Finger 5’s “Koi no Dial 6700.” The song draws attention to the telephone sounds while lightly yet clearly emphasizing the important “en.”
Love’s American FootballFingā 53rank/position

This is a single released by Finger 5 in June 1974, which won the Young Idol Award at the Japan Record Awards and the Federation of Broadcast Music Producers Award at the Japan Song Awards.
It was also used as an insert song in the film “The Great Adventure of Finger 5,” released the same year.
upperclassmanFingā 54rank/position

That unrequited crush who graduated and left school… It really takes away the joy of going to school, doesn’t it? Among Finger 5’s songs, this one isn’t very well known.
What really stands out is its soulfulness, on par with The Style Council.
I’d love to play it for Paul Weller—hard to believe it’s Japanese kayōkyoku.
Private lessonFingā 55rank/position

Finger Five was an idol group that became a huge hit in the 1970s, and among their songs, “Private Lesson” (Kojin Jugyō), released in 1973, is one of their signature tracks.
It features a bright, pop sound and lyrics about a crush on a teacher, and it’s beloved by many listeners.
The song portrays pure feelings that transcend the roles of teacher and student, along with the bittersweetness of youth, and it still feels fresh today.
For women in their 50s, it’s a recommended song that can bring back memories of their younger days.
Especially when you’re feeling a bit down or want a boost, listening to it will likely lift your spirits.
