Most Popular Bands Among Middle School Students Ranking [2026] (81–90)
HOWEVERGLAY81rank/position
It’s GLAY’s greatest masterpiece love song, still performed live today.
The real charm of this track lies in its lyrics.
The straight-from-the-heart feelings and novel-like storytelling draw you right in.
The fact that the opening and closing lines are the same is a clever touch, isn’t it? Definitely give it a listen.
Night on the Galactic RailroadGOING STEADY82rank/position
This song is perfect for cover bands looking for something simple and cool.
You don’t need flashy techniques—play with passion.
It might be best to focus your practice on live performance.
Can DoGRANRODEO83rank/position
A cool guitar rock number that was used as the opening theme for the anime Kuroko’s Basketball, which centers on high school basketball.
It’s a track by the musical duo GRANRODEO, consisting of KISHOW and e-ZUKA, released in 2012 as their 16th single.
It boasts an irresistibly satisfying sound that makes you want to say, “This is classic rock ’n’ roll!” Since it’s a Kuroko’s Basketball song, it could be a great fit for any ball sport.
Blue BookmarkGalileo Galilei84rank/position
This is the fourth single by Galileo Galilei, a three-piece band from Hokkaido that became the inaugural champions of the teen-only festival “Senko Riot” but disbanded in 2016.
The song was written as the opening theme for the drama Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, and its intro—beginning with a striking guitar arpeggio—feels wonderfully soothing.
Every part is built on simple playing, and the tempo is relaxed, making it approachable for beginner band members.
If anything, it’s harder to capture the song’s airy, floating feel than it is to play the notes themselves, so in your ensemble, pay attention not just to technique but also to accents and overall expression.
EmotionsMAN WITH A MISSION85rank/position
A song by MAN WITH A MISSION that I highly recommend when you want to boost your study motivation all at once.
Released as a single in February 2013, it also drew attention as the theme song for the film “HK: Hentai Kamen.” The shift from the majestic strings in the intro to a full-throttle rock sound is powerful enough to blast away any drowsiness.
Its fiery message—urging you to charge forward with your emotions burning even in the darkness—will give a strong push to your back as you sit at your desk.
Especially when you feel like your heart is about to break before an exam, feel the wolves’ emotion and seize the glory of passing!
