Kyosuke Himuro Popular Song Ranking [2026] (1–10)
LOVERS DAYHimuro Kyosuke1rank/position
It’s a love song that beautifully reminisces about a lost romance.
Kyosuke Himuro’s poignant vocals vividly revive memories of a love that has passed.
Released in July 1995, the track has been featured on multiple albums and live video releases, earning strong support from fans.
Included on best-of compilations such as “20th Anniversary ALL SINGLES COMPLETE BEST JUST MOVIN’ ON ~ALL THE-S-HIT~,” this song showcases the depth of Himuro’s musicality.
It reflects on days filled with kindness and warmth, infused with a longing to never let go again.
Recommended for those seeking to soothe the pain of heartbreak or to look back on cherished memories with someone special.
KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke2rank/position
Among men in their 60s—especially those in the early half—many were likely deeply impacted by Kyosuke Himuro.
Of all his songs, the one I particularly recommend is KISS ME.
It’s a great choice for achieving a high score when singing.
The biggest reason is its vocal range: from mid1 C to mid2 G, which is exceptionally narrow even among male vocal tracks.
While the way Himuro sings—slightly muffling the sound through the nose—isn’t exactly the orthodox method, it’s an easy-to-sing technique.
Simply emulating the original performance should be enough to aim for a high score.
RE-BORNHimuro Kyosuke3rank/position
The entrance song used by Takanori Hatakeyama, who competed in the super featherweight division, was “RE-BORN,” released by Kyosuke Himuro in 1998.
He may have been inspired by the title’s meaning of “rebirth” or “being born again.” Hatakeyama was known for his quick, rotational speed as a weapon, so this fast-paced, driving song suits him perfectly!
MOONHimuro Kyosuke4rank/position
It’s included on the 1991 album “Higher Self.” The song was created in consultation with lyricist Goro Matsui in response to the 1989 Tiananmen Square incident in China.
It’s the only track whose lyrics use the plural “we” to refer to ourselves.
The piano’s gentle, beautiful melody makes it a truly memorable ballad.
Hold my soulHimuro Kyosuke5rank/position
Kyosuke Himuro, who took the world by storm as the vocalist of BOØWY and enjoys immense popularity as a solo artist, released “Tamashii wo Daite Kure” in October 1995 as the first single following his move to a private label.
It’s a rock ballad perfect for listening to on long autumn nights.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Kaze no Keiji: Tokyo-hatsu!”, it reached No.
2 on the Oricon weekly chart.
Majestic strings and a heart-piercing melody blend beautifully with Himuro’s uniquely charismatic vocals.
It’s a track you’ll want to savor in the season when people yearn for connection.
ANGELHimuro Kyosuke6rank/position
Many people must have a special attachment to this work, which marked the beginning of Kyosuke Himuro’s solo career after the breakup of the legendary rock band BOØWY.
Released in July 1988 as his first solo single, its driving 8-beat rock sound leaves a vivid impression.
With a universal message that doesn’t hide one’s weaknesses or fragility yet still urges moving forward, it powerfully shakes the listener’s heart and delivers energy for tomorrow.
A renowned track also included on his debut album “FLOWERS for ALGERNON,” it’s the perfect song to play when you hit a wall in everyday life—let it lift your spirits!

Kyosuke Himuro, whose overwhelming charisma has led Japan’s rock scene.
His third single, “SUMMER GAME,” released in 1989, is an early masterpiece: its exhilarating, fast-paced sound and breezy vibe pair perfectly with a drive.
The world it evokes makes you want to floor it and go your own way, and Himuro’s vocals set your heart ablaze and lift your spirits.
