Akina Nakamori Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Akina Nakamori, whose singing ability and innate charm more than make up for her low voice and narrow range, produced a string of hit songs and even won the Japan Record Award.

She continued to thrive afterward with major successes like best-selling cover albums, but she has since fallen ill and is currently on a break to rest.

Akina Nakamori Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (61–70)

This song, which is also included on her own cover album, surprises you right from the start: a beat-driven “Nagori Yuki.” Isn’t this, in the truest sense, what a cover song should be? The faint voice that seems as if it might fade away at any moment might seem mismatched with the wistful yet rhythmic arrangement of “Nagori Yuki,” but it fits perfectly, becoming a version that only Akina Nakamori could sing.

Highly recommended.

Akina Nakamori’s first “sakura” song was released on February 24, 2016.

The lyrics, themed around spring, were newly written by Haruichi Shindō, the guitarist of Porno Graffitti, poignantly capturing a woman’s feelings.

Many people must have hoped for Nakamori’s comeback.

It’s a long-awaited new single!

Akina Nakamori, who grew from an idol into an artist and achieved immense hits and popularity, has an autumn song that is an oriental piece singing of a desert at sunset.

Her stoic worldview draws you in first, and many surely came to admire her presence.

The voice of the eternal songstress lingers in our ears.

With its striking title, this song is Akina Nakamori’s 31st single.

I still remember muttering to myself back then about how incredible the title was.

It has a slight samba feel, and it’s a track I often listen to while driving.

I think it’s perfect for a night drive, so I definitely recommend giving it a listen.

The full moon slowly wanes over time… This is a heartbreak song that likens that change to a fragile romantic relationship.

It’s a track by singer Akina Nakamori—known for hits like “DESIRE -Passion-” and “Tears Aren’t Just for Show”—included on her 17th album, SHAKER, released in 1997.

The sound arrangement has a dreamy, atmospheric quality that leaves a strong impression.

It feels as if you can see the dynamics between the two unfold.

Give it a careful listen alone at night.
