Hibari Misora Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (31–40)

Momotaro MarchMisora Hibari36rank/position

This is the theme song for the film Expedition to Treasure Island, which was based on Momotaro.

It was sung by Hibari Misora, the Showa-era songstress known for many classics such as “Like the Flow of the River,” and was released as a single in 1956.

Misora also appears in the film itself.

True to its title, the song has a march-like feel that evokes nostalgia even if you’ve never heard it before.

The simple, direct message of the lyrics—something like “Go, Momotaro!”—also reflects the era.

Give it a listen while imagining what those times were like.

Kappa Boogie WoogieMisora Hibari37rank/position

This is Hibari Misora’s singing voice at age 12 in 1949, but it doesn’t feel like a child’s song, does it? However, because Hibari Misora’s singing ability was too outstanding, she actually didn’t pass contests like amateur singing competitions.

She seemed too polished, and judges criticized her for not sounding childlike.

It seems she couldn’t avoid this criticism for a while even after her debut.

Nagasaki StoryMisora Hibari38rank/position

The story of Jagatara Oharu, a woman born to a Japanese mother and an Italian father, who appears in Nagasaki Yawagusa by Nishikawa Joken, a scholar of the Edo period.

Based on a letter she wrote to her hometown of Nagasaki, it is a classic Showa-era song that has been covered by artists such as Sayuri Ishikawa and Yoshimi Tendo.
