Hiroji Miyamoto Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)
SEPTEMBERMiyamoto Hiroji11rank/position
SEPTEMBER, sung by Hiroji Miyamoto—who stands out as the vocalist of the rock band Elephant Kashimashi—is a track on the 2021 tribute album to Takashi Matsumoto and a cover of Mariya Takeuchi’s song.
It’s a bittersweet breakup song that weaves the changing autumn streets and a sense of loneliness into its lyrics.
When a man sings a song originally by a woman, the vibe changes completely and really hits you, doesn’t it? Despite being a heartbreak song, it has a refreshing feel, making it perfect for karaoke.
foreignerMiyamoto Hiroji12rank/position
“Ihōjin” (Foreign Visitor), the signature song by Saki Kubota, was included on ROMANCE, the cover album released in 2020 by Hiroji Miyamoto, who is active as the lead vocalist of Elephant Kashimashi.
The original is notable for its oriental-sounding string phrases, but in this cover version those elements are toned down, and the arrangement emphasizes a straightforward rock-ballad feel.
Taking a different approach from the original, it becomes a track that distinctly reflects Miyamoto’s style.
Today -A Heart Full of Love-Miyamoto Hiroji13rank/position
Hiroji Miyamoto’s “Today – Full of Love -” will be released as a double A-side single in June 2025.
It has been chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama Hitomi in HR.
It’s a pop piece grounded in rock, highlighted by Miyamoto’s warm, resonant vocals.
The lyrics use unadorned words to convey the universal theme of love.
It’s a song that stands beside people who are giving their all in everyday life and gives them strength.
sha-la-la-laMiyamoto Hiroji14rank/position
Is there anyone whose heart doesn’t leap at this ruggedly masculine singing voice? This track is by Hiroji Miyamoto, also known as the frontman of the rock band The Elephant Kashimashi.
Released as a single in 2021, it drew attention as the theme song for the TV drama “Sakura no Tou.” With its striking horn section and piano tones, it’s a deeply soulful piece.
Miyamoto’s free and expansive vocals are truly a joy to hear.
An absolute must-listen for anyone determined to chase their dreams no matter what others say.
At the end of this roadMiyamoto Hiroji15rank/position
It’s a rock number packed with love and passion.
Included on the album “Jūōmujin,” this track was released in October 2021 and was chosen as the theme song for WOWOW’s broadcasts of Spanish soccer La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
The song portrays pure feelings for a loved one and the passion to pursue them, and combined with its powerful rock sound, it makes a profound impact.
I think listening to it before a soccer match will really get you fired up!
September RainMiyamoto Hiroji16rank/position
Released in 1996, Hiroji Miyamoto’s song “Kugatsu no Ame” (“September Rain”) is included on the album I Want to Be Beautiful.
From the title, many might imagine a gentle ballad, but in fact it’s an upbeat, fast-paced number.
That said, the lyrics depict a couple on the verge of breaking up, with many poignant touches.
It’s a perfect song for early autumn, when the chilly breeze can bring on a touch of loneliness.
By the way, this Hiroji Miyamoto is a different person from Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
applauseMiyamoto Hiroji17rank/position
This is a cover song that Hiroji Miyamoto reinvented with his own interpretation, originally a classic that Naomi Chiaki sang to great success in 1972.
It’s included on his November 2020 cover album “ROMANCE,” which conveys deep respect for beloved songs from the Showa and Heisei eras.
While the original captured the bittersweet emotions of a woman leaving the stage, Miyamoto’s powerful yet delicate vocals express that pathos with a contemporary sensibility.
It’s a track that will resonate with those at a turning point in life or facing a situation where they must give something up.
The Path Where Beasts TreadShiina Ringo, Miyamoto Hiroji18rank/position
The world, densely depicting human instincts and hidden impulses, draws you in more and more the more you listen! It’s a lavish collaborative number, irresistible for its heavy orchestral sound and vocals that clash head-on with fierce individuality.
The song is by Ringo Sheena and Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
It was chosen as the theme for Nippon TV’s news program “news zero,” released in October 2018, and later included on the album “Sandokushi.” Rather than aiming for pretty harmonies, wouldn’t it land cooler if you sing by hurling your intensity at each other? It’s a track I highly recommend to anyone who wants to set aside shyness and sing with their whole being to get the crowd going!
Beyond the GoodbyeMiyamoto Hiroji19rank/position
A cover by Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
It starts off very gently, sung with the care of handling something fragile.
The build-up into the chorus feels natural and is really pleasant to listen to.
That way of singing that keeps his usual aggressiveness simmering beneath the surface is irresistible for fans.
It’s a cover that preserves the original song while adding his own originality.
My Dear EllieMiyamoto Hiroji20rank/position
Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi covers various songs with his own interpretations.
It’s said that he sings each song over and over until he truly makes it his own.
The slightly blunt, unpolished feel—like deliberately singing “Ellie” with Japanese pronunciation—comes across as simple and, in a way, conveys his emotions more directly, which I find very appealing.
