Shizuka Kudo’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

It has to be you.Kudō Shizuka29rank/position

Shizuka Kudo — There's no one but you, right?

Released on October 6, 1993.

It’s a ballad, but with a bluesy feel unlike anything before.

Perhaps it’s similar to “Koe o Kikasete” from a year earlier.

It didn’t have the momentum from their breakout period, but it was a time when they were challenging themselves with various genres.

It peaked at No.

5 and sold 205,000 copies.

Kai Band - HERO

Released on May 21, 1992.

The lyrics, true to her style, depict a coquettish woman, but the song itself lacked impact and inevitably came across as modest.

It peaked at No.

5 and sold 214,000 copies.

Around this time, her peak chart positions were no longer No.

1 or No.

2, as artists from the Being camp—such as B’z and WANDS—were already on the rise.

Fly! Fly! Ruby ~Ruby Version~

A character song whose straightforward wish resonates in the heart! Shizuka Kudo, who also voices the character, delivers the pure desire to believe in oneself and soar into the open sky with a clear, luminous singing voice.

The song is an insert track that plays during a moving scene in the film “Go! Anpanman: Ruby no Negai,” released in July 2003, and is also included in the commemorative album “Go! Anpanman Movie & TV 25th Anniversary Works: Gather! Movie Songs.” When your child is about to take on a challenge, why not listen together as a family and cheer them on?

Shizuka Kudo LIVE 1993: “I Want to Cry Like Crazy”

A relaxed ballad.

It peaked at No.

4 and sold 282,000 copies.

It was performed at the 1992 Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Shizuka Kudo / You (PV)

Released on June 5, 1996.

It was the theme song for the film “Gokudō no Onna-tachi” (Yakuza Wives).

It peaked at No.

26 and sold 73,000 copies.

After the hit “Ice Rain” at the end of ’94, the following single “Moon Water” dropped out of the Oricon Top 10, and the next single “7” failed to reach 100,000 in total sales; she also missed the Kōhaku lineup in ’95.

This song didn’t perform well commercially either, but musically it’s a passionate piece very characteristic of her work and quite well-crafted.

I wish you would hold me.

Her third single overall, “Daite Kuretara Ii no ni,” is distinguished by its bluesy melody and ensemble.

It’s her first rock ballad as a solo single, and it exudes a sultriness that’s hard to believe came from someone still in her teens at the time.

The song is challenging, with high notes right from the opening and wide interval jumps, but the tempo is quite relaxed, so it’s easier to sing if you approach it calmly.

It’s a crowd-pleaser for karaoke—sing it with an awareness of the bouncing shuffle rhythm and expressive dynamics.
