GACKT’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
Instead of goodbyeTUBE × GACKT1rank/position
This gem of a ballad features a beautiful harmony created by the collaboration between TUBE and GACKT that resonates deeply in the heart.
Their two voices gently sing about the universal themes of encounters and farewells.
The music video stars Yutaka Matsushige and Kenichi Endo, whose wordless drama delivers a profoundly moving performance.
Released in February 2024, the song was first unveiled at the FNS Music Festival in December 2023, touching the hearts of many.
It’s a heartwarming piece I recommend to those who have experienced parting with a loved one or who wish to express their gratitude to someone dear.
BLACK STONEGACKT2rank/position
This is Gackt’s 21st single.
Its liberating, rock-driven melody is really striking.
The promotional video shows Gackt playing with great energy—a fun, upbeat track.
It’s said the song was made for a staff member who passed away, so Gackt himself feels a deep attachment to it.
The soaring chorus is cool and feels great to sing!
Love Song in DecemberGACKT3rank/position
A romantic winter ballad by GACKT that paints a vivid picture of the season.
Released in December 2001, the song gently conveys the depth of love and bonds people feel amid the cold.
The music video, filmed in New York after the 9/11 attacks, also reflects the profound emotions behind the track.
Beloved by many—including with appearances at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen for two consecutive years—it remains a cherished piece.
How about listening to the music box version on a quiet winter night with someone special?
Journey through the DecadeGACKT4rank/position
It’s the theme song for Kamen Rider Decade, which aired in 2009.
Featuring Gackt as the vocalist, it’s a powerful message song grounded in hard rock.
The lyrics are also compelling, aligning so closely with the show’s content that it’s hard to believe they were written at the start of the series.
VanillaGACKT5rank/position
It was GACKT’s second single and one of his signature songs.
It’s characterized by sexual, provocative lyrics and a distinctive sound that incorporates ska rhythms.
It reportedly reached No.
4 on the Oricon weekly chart and sold about 250,000 copies.
It might be hard to imagine for people who mainly know songs from the Reiwa era, but GACKT has a very wide vocal range and outstanding singing ability.
In Vanilla, the range spans B2 to C5, so many people actually trying to sing it will probably think, “It’s low and it’s high!” The tempo is fast, and the key modulates in the final chorus, pushing the pitch even higher, so it may be tough to nail on a first try.
Make sure to resonate solidly in your chest so you can sing it powerfully!
The dream you chasedGACKT6rank/position
Released as GACKT’s 13th single, it was chosen as the image song for WOWOW European Soccer.
The track features GACKT’s signature high-energy, driving sound that gives courage to everyone chasing their dreams, and stands out as one of his more uplifting, positive message songs.
Last SongGACKT7rank/position
Starting from a silence like freshly fallen snow and gradually building into passion, this dramatic progression makes it one of GACKT’s most memorable ballads.
The poignant theme of a “last song” dedicated to a loved one resonates deeply with listeners.
Released as a single in November 2003, it also plays a crucial role in the narrative of the album Crescent and continues to be cherished by fans today.
It was performed at the 54th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, a widely known episode where its overwhelming expressiveness deeply moved audiences at home.
It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you want to quietly accept a love that has ended, or on nights when you look back on the past alone and try to face forward.
