Popular Hip-Hop: Japanese Artist Rankings [2026]

Hip-hop is a music genre that has developed alongside its own culture, including dance, rap, and sampling.

Although it originated in the United States, there are many artists in Japan who have been influenced by hip-hop.

This time, we’ll introduce a ranking of popular Japanese artists who perform hip-hop.

Popular Hip-Hop. Japanese Artists Ranking [2026] (91–100)

MomotaroSuiyōbi no Campanella99rank/position

Momotaro, a classic folktale smashed into a modern style.

It’s an offbeat hit that blends electro, rap, and irony—and the lyrics are really entertaining! Since the song is built more on spoken-style rap than on “singing,” even people who aren’t confident with pitch can enjoy it.

It repeats lots of similar phrases and melodies, so even first-time listeners at karaoke should be humming along by the second half.

I personally love this song, so if anyone wants to learn it, let’s practice together! It’s all about the groove—keep a steady rhythm so the tempo doesn’t rush, use your whole body, and sing it out.

I really, really, really, really, really hate it.Ame Ryou100rank/position

Released by Amayoshi in March 2025, this work tells a story where Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto clash with intense emotions.

Complex feelings—anger, hostility, vulnerability, and loneliness—are expressed through rap-style vocals.

It sharply captures the struggles of modern human relationships and is highly relatable.

The moderately addictive melody line is also appealing.

I think it will especially resonate with those who feel tired of human connections.
