Rumiko Koyanagi Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)

Winter StationKoyanagi Rumiko16rank/position

This is Rumiko Koyanagi’s 13th single, released in October 1974.

The lyrics are by Rei Nakanishi, the music by Kunihiko Kase, and the arrangement by Kenichiro Morioka.

Set at a winter station where white morning mist drifts, it portrays a woman’s heart wavering between lingering feelings for a former lover and her own growth.

Aimed at moving beyond her “pure idol” image, the song features rhythmic arrangements and layered vocal techniques.

It reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts and sold 560,000 copies, making it one of Koyanagi’s signature hits.

She also performed it at the 25th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a song I recommend to anyone standing on a winter station platform, looking back on a past romance while trying to face forward.

Ishibi Love Song / Rumiko Koyanagi (with lyrics)
Fishermen’s Fire Love SongKoyanagi Rumiko

This is a song by Rumiko Koyanagi, who is active not only as a singer but also as an actress.

While it proceeds with a relaxed kayōkyoku-style sound, the way it shifts partway through into a folk song atmosphere is striking, conveying the spirit of a fishing town even more strongly.

The lyrics portray a woman in love with a fisherman, expressing her feelings for her beloved as he sets out into the cold sea at night.

It is a song with many shades, like the sea itself, also conveying the pain of being unable to stay by his side.
