MONKEY MAJIK Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)
HeadlightMONKEY MAJIK11rank/position
Let me introduce MONKEY MAJIK’s 15th single, “Headlight,” released in 2011.
The song starts gently, but the chorus suddenly soars and grabs your heart.
Maynard Plant’s falsetto is used extensively in the melody.
The falsetto that bursts in right at the start of the chorus pierces the heart, and that beautiful voice can bring you to tears.
It’s a tender, moving track.
When your spirits won’t lift, it’s the kind of song that lets you cry while still giving you hope.
I truly recommend listening to it at times like that.
SAKURAMONKEY MAJIK12rank/position
MONKEY MAJIK’s “SAKURA” sets a refreshing tone for the start of a new season.
Released in 2010, the song was featured in Menard Cosmetics’ commercial “~Your most beautiful self~ (SAKURA ver.),” as well as in ads for MUSICO and Winning Eleven.
It portrays the arrival of spring and the day of parting—capturing the feeling of not wanting to say goodbye yet, while still taking a step forward with memories held close.
It gently supports the loneliness and anxiety of those transitioning from their familiar daily lives to something new, as well as the determination to do their best.
Graduation, and on to the future.MONKEY MAJIK13rank/position
The fifth single released by MONKEY MAJIK under ‘Monkey Majik + SEAMO.’ It was released on March 14, 2007.
SEAMO’s rap adds a great spice to this medium-tempo graduation encouragement song that makes you want to move your body and puts you in a fun mood.
ChangeMONKEY MAJIK14rank/position
Change, released in 2007, was also featured in a car commercial.
The standout highlight is the collaboration with the Yoshida Brothers, masters of the Tsugaru shamisen.
From the intro, the Japanese aesthetic draws you in.
The song is performed entirely in English from start to finish.
Digging into the lyrics reveals a strong desire for personal transformation.
The driving energy centered around the shamisen, which perfectly matches the message, is also awesome.
Enjoy this seamless fusion of Japanese and Western styles.
SunshineMONKEY MAJIK15rank/position
This is “Sunshine,” the song chosen as the opening theme for the anime Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan.
It’s a track that conveys a forward-looking spirit—holding on to hope even while uncertain about the path ahead.
As the title suggests, it gently lets light shine into the listener’s heart.
The endlessly tender, softly enveloping sound makes it a delight to listen to.
It’s filled with MONKEY MAJIK’s warmth.
Also pay attention to the smooth, native-level English lyrics honed in Canada.
Be sure to translate and unravel the lyrics yourself, and etch them into your heart.
I miss you and want to see youMONKEY MAJIK16rank/position
A medium-tempo song that evokes the freshness of early summer.
The lyrics, portraying a strong desire to reclaim lost time and reunite with a loved one, resonate deeply.
It’s a love song that weaves together past memories and hope for the future, with a distinctive atmosphere created by its mix of English and Japanese.
Released in July 2008, it was also used in the Asahi Beer “Style Free” commercial.
With MONKEY MAJIK’s characteristically emotive melodies and lyrics, it has captured the hearts of many listeners.
It’s a perfect track for when you want to feel your love for someone special or lift your spirits.
If I knewMONKEY MAJIK17rank/position
Included on MONKEY MAJIK’s album “westview,” released on February 2, 2011.
Theme song for Kansai TV’s “Ashita no Katachi.” A medium-tempo, dream-chasing song that speaks of “Boys, be ambitious,” the kind that makes you want to sing and play on the guitar at dusk.
Livin’ in the sunMONKEY MAJIK18rank/position
A track with a nostalgic melody that evokes the Showa era, marked by striking, folk song-like spoken passages in the intro and interlude.
It’s a slow-tempo number you’ll want to listen to while lying under the blue sky, idly letting your thoughts drift to the past.
ScrambleMONKEY MAJIK19rank/position
While MONKEY MAJIK is known for having many funky tracks, this work takes a different direction, resulting in a downbeat and smooth song.
It leans somewhat toward an R&B style, perhaps.
However, it doesn’t feature advanced vocal techniques typical of R&B, such as vocal runs or shouts; instead, the vocals stay consistently in the low to mid range throughout.
With no abrupt pitch jumps and a good amount of sustained notes, it’s a track that excels in ease of pitch alignment and in earning extra points.
Rainbow-colored fishMONKEY MAJIK20rank/position
It was used as the CM song for the SUBARU “IMPREZA.” The balance between Japanese and English is truly excellent.
Although the song is simple, it’s a great track with clever touches throughout—like the two voices subtly overlapping and harmonizing in English.
