Japanese Hip-Hop Popularity Rankings [2026] (71–80)
Easy Breezychelmico76rank/position
This track by the female rap duo chelmico features a catchy melody and an uplifting message.
Its lyrics celebrate freedom of self-expression and individuality, emphasizing the importance of staying true to yourself even when facing challenges.
Released in January 2020, it gained attention when it was chosen as the opening theme for an NHK General TV anime.
The beat is easy to groove to, and the chorus naturally becomes singable the more you listen.
It’s a perfect pick for anyone who wants to try it at karaoke.
With its brisk rhythm and positive lyrics, it’s also great for livening up get-togethers with friends.
Baby Girl ～sweet lovesong～Mr.OZ feat CITY-ACE77rank/position
It’s a love song where a love story unfolds through mellow lyrics.
The beautiful melody and chorus convey a grand expression of love.
It’s a classic I can recommend even to those listening to Japanese hip-hop for the first time.
Made my dayDakkii × Sweet William78rank/position
Rapper Tsubaki, who is gaining fans rapidly and is based in Okinawa.
Together with track maker Sweet William, this hit song shines with lyrics that reveal a decadent background, in contrast to its comfortable track.
Judging by the sound alone, it seems likely to win support from female listeners too, but content-wise, most of the fans appear to be men—at least from what I see around me.
That said, I often spot women swaying their shoulders while watching the live performance at festivals.
A new-generation hip-hop artist whose future activities are highly anticipated.
voiceZORN79rank/position
This song was written for a late old friend and is characterized by a bittersweet, emotional atmosphere infused with ZORN’s down-to-earth message.
It was digitally released on April 20, 2024, and the music video was directed by filmmaker Kento Yamada.
With visuals such as footage shot on Polaroid film, it boasts a high level of production quality.
The lyrics recall memories with the deceased and express hope for a reunion, making it feel very relatable.
Even if you don’t usually listen to hip-hop, I highly recommend giving this track a listen.
YY23.exe80rank/position
It gives the quintessential impression of a Vocaloid rap.
The EDM-like track, which carries a sense of brightness, pairs perfectly with Hatsune Miku’s sparkling vocals.
It’s a piece by 23.exe, known for a music style centered on dance music.
Released in 2019.
It’ll make you want to listen to it by the seaside in summer.
