Yasushi Nakanishi Popular Song Rankings [2026]
The Last RainYasushi Nakanishi1rank/position
Released in 1992, this is Yasushi Nakanishi’s signature hit ballad that became synonymous with him.
Although it peaked at No.
16 on the Oricon charts, it turned into a long-running hit, selling a total of about 900,000 copies.
Many artists, including Kiyoshi Maekawa, Kumi Koda, EXILE ATSUSHI, and Ms.OOJA, have covered it, so it’s fun to look for a version in a vocal range that suits you.
I used to practice this song a lot in vocal training, and I remember it having a lot of the “na” sound.
Because “na” tends to be nasal, if you produce the sound carelessly, it becomes quite hard to sing.
If you articulate clearly with a conscious accent on each instance, it should be easier to sing.
Give it a try!
Another RainYasushi Nakanishi2rank/position
The original song is “Saigo no Ame” by the same singer.
It’s one of Yasushi Nakanishi’s signature songs and has been covered by many artists; this track is an answer song released 17 years later.
The composition is also by Takashi Toshimi, who wrote “Saigo no Ame.” It’s a piece where you can savor his beautifully matured voice, which hasn’t diminished even after 17 years.
Lingering SnowYasushi Nakanishi3rank/position
At a slow tempo, Yasushi Nakanishi sings gently, and the piano performance further accentuates the poignancy of the two people who appear in “Nagori Yuki.” It skillfully carries on the appeal of the folk group Kaguyahime, while conveying a more mature quality in the song that’s different from Iruka’s.
