GLAY Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

BE WITH YOUGLAY36rank/position

GLAY / BE WITH YOU

Released in November 1998, this was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Tabloid,” and TAKURO has said the lyrics are his greatest masterpiece.

The overall vocal range of the song is D#3 to C#5, and as it progresses into the latter half, it becomes more characteristically GLAY and the range shoots up significantly.

For the high notes in the latter half, don’t force them in chest voice; until you get used to it, it may be good to practice producing them lightly in falsetto.

Once you’re comfortable and can project with more momentum, you’ll build explosiveness and be able to hit the high notes more comfortably.

In any case, breath volume and explosiveness are crucial.

If you’re focusing only on scoring, starting out by tackling it in falsetto is recommended.

SurvivalGLAY42rank/position

GLAY / Survival (GLAY EXPO ’99 SURVIVAL)

An up-tempo anthem that represents GLAY, with a growling intro and insanely cool energy, and a standout example of a rare video single.

Released in 1999.

It’s a quintessential GLAY song about living with strength, overflowing with a sense of openness and exhilarating speed—absolutely irresistible! I bet many people of that generation sang it at karaoke.

The lyrics are densely packed, and the rapid-fire parts in the chorus are especially uplifting! TERU’s story about messing up the lyrics is charming, too.

With its dynamic shifts, it’s a fun, fast-paced song that everyone can get hyped to together!
