Kobukuro’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Wings Named YouKobukuro15rank/position

Kobukuro – Wings Named You

“Kimi to Iu Na no Tsubasa” unfolds with a breezy, exhilarating melody and lyrics that give you the strength to say “Alright, let’s do this.” Released in 2006, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama Regatta: The Eternal You Were With.

Since the key is a bit high, if you’re not comfortable with higher ranges, it’s recommended to lower it a few steps to make it easier to sing.

There are many intricate melodic lines, so the difficulty is slightly high, but because it’s built around catchy melodies—especially the chorus—it should still be approachable.

Feel the momentum of the song and give it a try.
