HOUND DOG Popular Song Rankings [2026]
Tearful BirthdayHOUND DOG8rank/position

HOUND DOG, led by Yasuhira Otomo, who is now active in many fields as an actor and TV personality.
“Namida no Birthday” was released as their sixth single in 1982.
Just hearing the song will surely bring back a wave of nostalgia and memories from that time.
For those who have HOUND DOG as part of their youth—and even for those who don’t—singing this nostalgic ’90s-era tune is sure to get everyone fired up.
They have so many classics that it’s hard to choose, but this one is a ballad, easy to sing and fun, so I highly recommend it.

This is the very first opening theme in NARUTO.
It’s a track characterized by HOUND DOG’s signature heavy sound and vocals, giving a sense of forward-driving strength.
It’s so powerful that it makes the viewer tense up without realizing it.
