GReeeeN’s Tearjerker Songs and Most Popular Tracks: Ranking [2026]

Letter to the SkyGReeeeN8rank/position

[ONE PIECE] Letter to the Sky

As its title suggests, “A Letter to the Sky” is a poignant song that turns a letter to someone who has passed away into music.

With the sky as the addressee, each listener will have their own feelings—thinking of grandparents, parents, children, pets, or other loved ones.

Try singing it at karaoke while holding those dear to you in your heart.

It may be one-sided, but it’s a classic that sincerely voices the desire to convey feelings in the belief that they’re surely reading.

GReeeeN × Hayato Sakamoto “pride”

GReeeeN has a deep connection with high school baseball, including tie-ins with the drama ROOKIES, which centers on a team aiming for Koshien.

This track, included on their album, was selected as the 2012 support song for Asahi Broadcasting’s “Summer High School Baseball” and the theme song for ABC TV’s “Netto Koshien.” It’s a song that reminds us that it’s not just the grand stage at Koshien—every bit of “effort” put in through the regional tournaments leading up to that day will never betray you.

It conveys the determination to believe in yourself and your teammates, to shine even brighter at the destination your efforts have brought you to, and to fight for the very top.

Song of ParentsGReeeeN10rank/position

To my parents — Golden Wedding Anniversary Video — “Father and Mother Song”

GReeeeN’s song “Fubobuta” by the four-member vocal unit is a perfect track for weddings, expressing gratitude to one’s parents! It’s especially popular for scenes like the bouquet presentation or reading a letter.

The song is filled with thanks to parents who were always there: from childhood when we relied on our father and mother, through the rebellious years when we talked back all the time, to every moment they supported us by our side.

A wedding is not only a day to celebrate marriage, but also a day to express appreciation to those who have supported you.

Why not convey the thank-you you haven’t been able to put into words until now, together with this song?

MISIA – Shape of Love feat. HIDE (GReeeeN) (Official Music Video)

A collaboration song by MISIA and HIDE from GReeeeN.

It was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues” starring Haruka Ayase.

As you listen, try to imagine someone with whom you’re building a precious bond, like the relationship between the stepmother and daughter in the series.

Is the “Shape of Love” that has formed between you and that special someone a gentle, love-filled one like this song?

DepartureGReeeeN12rank/position

GReeeeN – Departure

Tabidachi by GReeeeN portrays a long-distance relationship that begins when one partner leaves to pursue their dreams.

Though parting is surely lonely, the song is told from the perspective of the one seeing their loved one off, saying, “Go give it your all!” Released in 2008, it follows the protagonist as they look back on memories from the day they met up to the present and write a letter filled with encouragement for their partner’s departure.

Leaving the side of someone important may be inevitable when you’re both chasing your dreams.

But precisely because that person is so precious, perhaps sending them off with a smile and without tears is the greatest cheer you can give.

It’s a song that turns the ache of loneliness into the strength to be considerate of the one you love.

GReeeeN new song! “BEST FRIEND” chorus! 30 seconds!

BEST FRIEND is a track released exclusively via digital distribution in March 2013 by the vocal group GReeeeN, known for hit songs like Ai Uta and Kiseki.

Many people may have heard it somewhere, as it was used in a commercial for Tokyo Individualized Educational Institute and as the walk-up song for Chiba Lotte Marines player Shohei Kato.

Why not listen to it while thinking back on the best friend you always spent your youth with? Things may not be the same as they were back then, but if you listen to this song, the memories will come flooding back and you’ll feel like meeting up and talking again.

I wish I could stay like this forever, but I have to set off…

This is a message song that sings of the bittersweet feelings and gratitude right before graduation.

Created by GReeeeN, it’s the coupling track to the single “Aisubeki Ashita, Isshun to Isshō o,” released in March 2014, and it’s also included on the best-of album “C, D desu to!?”.

It was featured in an AOKI commercial, cheering on the first steps into a new chapter of life.

Carried by a refreshing, warm melody, the straightforward lyrics make you want to say “thank you” over and over again, striking straight to the heart.

The harmony woven by the four voices is moving, making it a perfect song for a slideshow of memories with friends or an Instagram story to express your gratitude.
