[Middle School Students] Popular Japanese Music / J-POP Rankings [By Generation] (91–100)

HabitSEKAI NO OWARI99rank/position

A song with a mysterious, addictive melody that you just can’t get out of your head.

The unique dance showcased in the music video also became a huge talking point! This piece sharply addresses people’s tendency to categorize and delivers a strong message: “Don’t categorize yourself.” Those words feel as if they see right through your heart, making you catch your breath.

The song was released as a single in June 2022 and served as the theme for the film ‘HOLiC xxxHOLiC.’ It also won the 64th Japan Record Award that same year, truly making it a song that represents its time.

For junior high school students who worry about how others see them or struggle with self-confidence, it’s sure to give a powerful push forward.

Kokoro-eroodo obu mejyaa100rank/position

This is a song by Road of Major that powerfully paints the “picture of the heart” hidden in one’s chest.

Its passionate message—“No matter how many times you stumble, seize the future you dreamed of with your own hands!”—resonates with listeners.

Released in November 2004, this was their major-label debut single and served as the opening theme for the first season of the NHK Educational anime Major.

It can be called a rousing anthem that gives courage to high school baseball players chasing the white ball, and to everyone striving toward a big goal.
