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.
