Masaharu Fukuyama Karaoke Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
SakurazakaFukuyama Masaharu1rank/position
A signature ballad by Masaharu Fukuyama.
Released as a single in April 2000, it became widely beloved as the theme song for the TBS variety show segment “Mirai Nikki V” on “U-nan no Hontoko!”.
The lyrics, drawn from Fukuyama’s own experiences, portray lingering attachment to a former lover and, at the same time, a deep love that still wishes for their happiness—moving the hearts of listeners.
With total sales of 2.299 million copies, it earned the distinction of being the last double million-seller of the 20th century.
A classic to savor quietly in the season of meetings and farewells, where the scattering cherry blossoms mirror the song’s poignant emotions.
HELLOFukuyama Masaharu2rank/position
Released in 1995, “HELLO” became a big hit as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama ‘The Best Unrequited Love: WHITE LOVE STORY.’ Since it’s sung by Fukuyama, the overall vocal range of the song is D#3–F#4, which isn’t very high, so I think it’s easy even for beginners to sing.
However, the tempo is a bit fast, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
The melody is very simple and easy to remember.
In the A and B sections, cut off the word endings and be mindful of the pauses so you don’t rush.
At the start of the chorus, make sure to put your voice firmly into the mic—this should also enhance your expressiveness!
Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu3rank/position
Masaharu Fukuyama’s 27th single warmly portrays family bonds passed from parents to children and into the future.
Released in August 2011, it captured many hearts as the theme song for the wedding magazine Zexy’s TV commercial.
Notably, it was produced in just seven weeks while his tour was suspended due to the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The single topped the Oricon weekly chart and became a massive hit, setting the record at the time for the highest total sales by a male solo artist.
It was also performed at the 62nd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen and has been covered by many artists, remaining beloved across generations.
Highly recommended as a song to sing at weddings or family celebrations.

Produced in October 2008 as the theme song for the film “The Devotion of Suspect X,” this gem of a ballad portrays deep affection and the ache of parting.
While anticipating farewell to a dreamlike presence, it sings of the fragility and beauty of continuing to love.
The pure love that Tetsuya Ishigami, a character in the story, holds for Yasuko Hanaoka is expressed through the delicate words crafted by Masaharu Fukuyama, and the song was also used in Toshiba’s LCD TV “REGZA” commercial.
As the unit KOH+ with Kou Shibasaki, it reached No.
5 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Fukuyama later included his own version on the album “Zankyo.” It is a supreme masterpiece that accompanies adult romance—perfect for quietly savoring a drink in a night lounge.
phantom worldFukuyama Masaharu5rank/position
Masaharu Fukuyama is a singer-songwriter who captivates countless fans with his music and, as an actor, commands a top-tier presence.
Released in September 2025, this piece is an instrumental written as the theme song for the film Black Showman, in which he stars.
Its sound reflects both the flamboyance of the protagonist—a former magician—and the shadows he harbors within, illuminating the emotions of a man living between reality and illusion and drawing listeners into the story.
With its thrilling developments, it’s a grand, stirring number.

Among vocal training students who struggle with high notes, a very common comment is, “Because my voice is low, Masaharu Fukuyama’s songs are easy to sing!” In fact, Fukuyama’s songs often have a wide low range and don’t feature many excessively high notes, so there are plenty of songs you can sing in the original key.
However, one caveat is that if you sing the low notes with your throat as if you’re speaking, even a comfortable range can feel strenuous.
It’s important to vibrate the vocal cords at every pitch, so place your hand in the hollow between your collarbones and try singing while checking that your vocal cords are properly vibrating.
Also, when producing sound, aim your voice as if projecting to a distant point; this helps engage the vocal cords rather than the throat.
Instead of mumbling up close, it’s best to sing as clearly and crisply as possible.
SquallFukuyama Masaharu7rank/position
Included on Masaharu Fukuyama’s 14th single “HEAVEN/Squall,” this song was released as a double A-side alongside the lead track “HEAVEN.” Although it was originally written for singer-songwriter Eiko Matsumoto, it is presented here as Fukuyama’s self-cover.
Incidentally, this was reportedly the first time Fukuyama provided a song to another artist.
It’s a very heartrending piece: a slow-tempo ballad with lyrics written from a woman’s perspective.
What heightens the song’s sense of poignancy even further, in my view, is Fukuyama’s use of falsetto in the final part of the chorus.
Precisely because his appeal lies in his distinctly “masculine” vocal tone, the contrast with a slightly delicate falsetto makes the expression all the more effective.
It stands as an excellent example of how a male vocalist can use falsetto to powerful effect.
So there was one in Tokyo, too.Fukuyama Masaharu8rank/position
“Tokyo Nimo Attanda” depicts someone who came to Tokyo with a dream, gazing at the beautiful scenery they found there while thinking of a loved one back home.
Released in 2007 as a double A-side single together with “Muteki no Kimi,” the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” Although the chorus includes a section with a slightly higher key, the song overall showcases the appeal of a low voice, making it recommended for those with a lower vocal range.
Its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody also make it accessible for people who aren’t used to singing.

This is a refreshing pop-rock number by Masaharu Fukuyama that brightens the listener’s mood.
For the first time, he handled the arrangement himself and was meticulous about the performance, channeling the passions of youth and grand dreams for the future into the music.
Feelings he wanted to express but couldn’t put into words, and a strong will to overcome hardships and grasp hope, come through clearly in his soaring vocals and the lively sound.
The song was included on a single released in August 2003 and was loved by many as the theme song for the drama “WATER BOYS.” It’s truly one of the signature masterpieces that symbolize that summer.
In the Rain of RemembranceFukuyama Masaharu10rank/position
A refreshing, fast-paced number brimming with momentum, “In the Rain of Reminiscence” is Masaharu Fukuyama’s debut single, released in 1990.
Despite its bright melody, the lyrics depict a bittersweet love that has ended in the past.
Its easy-to-remember lyrics and catchy melody make it very singable.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, so even those with lower voices can sing it comfortably without changing the key.
With its driving melody, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke!
