Mika Nakashima Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
I thought about killing myselfNakajima Mika1rank/position
A striking title and lyrics that pierce the heart—this is exactly what it means to be deeply moved.
The song is by Mika Nakashima, who is also active as an actress, and it was released in 2013 as her 38th single.
Hiromu Akita from the rock band amazarashi wrote and composed it.
Something trivial to others can be a deeply rooted struggle for the person going through it—things like that do happen, don’t they? When you don’t know where to put your feelings, this song might just catch them for you.
Snow BlossomNakajima Mika2rank/position
Mika Nakashima’s 10th single, released in October 2003.
It was featured in commercials for Meiji Seika’s Boda and Galbo, and won the Gold Award at the 45th Japan Record Awards.
The delicate melody woven by piano and strings overlays winter imagery like white breath and falling snow, and the lyrics—where the fragility of love and a sense of warmth intersect—really resonate.
It also became a major hit as the theme song of a Korean drama, and has continued to be covered by many artists in Japan and abroad, including Hideaki Tokunaga and Akina Nakamori, making it a winter standard.
In 2019, a film of the same name inspired by the song was released, and it remains beloved across generations.
ORIONNakajima Mika3rank/position
Released in November 2008, it became a big hit as an insert song for the drama “Ryusei no Kizuna.” The overall vocal range of the song is fairly wide, from G#3 to D#5, with the chorus’s peak being the highest note.
Mika Nakashima is known for her whispery, breathy tone, so there’s no need to belt.
Since the top note D#5 is quite high, use head voice and send a thin, upward-focused tone.
Imagining your voice being pulled up from above your head may help.
If you lift your eyebrows in time as well, it becomes easier to hit and adds to the vibe.
Once you get used to it, focus on expressiveness to boost your score.
It also helps to gradually increase your volume with each melodic phrase!
GLAMOROUS SKYNANA starring MIKA NAKASHIMA4rank/position
“GLAMOROUS SKY,” released as the theme song for the movie NANA.
With lyrics by Ai Yazawa, the original author of NANA, and composition/production by HYDE, it was a smash hit created by an all-star team! The song itself isn’t too high, so it’s in a range that many women can sing comfortably—so I imagine a lot of people choose it.
However, the highest note E5 appears at the end of the second chorus.
That’s where you’ll want to nail it with style! Syllables in the “ma” row tend to be nasal and are harder to produce than other sounds.
So try projecting your voice a bit stronger than you think! Make sure to place the accents firmly to match the timing there.
If the key feels difficult, it’s fine to use falsetto at first.
As you get used to it, you’ll be able to produce a stronger falsetto; brace your lower abdomen and add those accents!
GLAMOROUS SKYNakajima Mika5rank/position
That searing rock tune passionately sung under her character’s name by Mika Nakashima in the film NANA might be the very sound your boss’s generation listened to in their youth.
It also caused a big stir as the first song HYDE from L’Arc~en~Ciel ever provided to another artist.
Packed with questions about the repetitive everyday and a fierce determination to seize a shining future, the track swept the music scene after its August 2005 release, topping the Oricon weekly chart for two consecutive weeks.
With its guitar-forward rock sound, it’s the kind of song that instantly electrifies the room at karaoke.
If you want to show off a cool side that’s different from your usual vibe, consider adding it to your repertoire.
WILLNakajima Mika6rank/position
A captivating ballad by Mika Nakashima that sings of the strength to carve out one’s own life by will.
Beginning with memories of gazing up at the night sky, it powerfully speaks of a resolve for the future while looking back on the path taken.
Her pure, delicate vocals carry a touch of sorrow yet give you the courage to face forward—an outstanding track.
Released in August 2002, it also drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Astrometry.” Created by the same songwriting team from her debut, it was performed at that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With a not-too-wide vocal range and a beautiful melodic line, it’s a song best sung at an easy pace, engraving precious memories and resolve in your heart.

She made her debut as a singer in 2001.
In 2003, her 10th single, “Yuki no Hana,” became a huge hit.
This is her 15th single, released in 2005.
It’s positioned as a follow-up heartbreak song to “Yuki no Hana,” so if you’re hurting from a breakup, you might want to listen to them as a set.
