Cute idols from Kansai! Naniwa Danshi’s most popular songs ranked (11–20)
Alphananiwa danshi15rank/position
“Alpha” features many bright yet somewhat ballad-like, mellow phrases.
It’s a song that evokes the feel of the Heisei-era idol style, and overall it’s tied together by catchy vocals.
The vocal range for this track is mid1E to hiC.
Since it sits within a typical range and the melodic movement is similar to that of standard J-pop, it can be considered quite easy to sing.
However, because the core of the song generally centers on mid-to-high notes, if you find it a bit high, it’s better to adjust the key based on the frequently occurring mid2C rather than the highest note.
I Wishnaniwa danshi16rank/position
I Wish, the sixth single by Naniwa Danshi, was chosen as the theme song for the TBS Tuesday drama My Second Aoharu, starring group member Shunsuke Michieda.
Blending the sparkle and bittersweetness of youth, it resonates as both a love song and a song of encouragement.
Released in November 2023, the track has been beloved by many fans, debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
Its slightly nostalgic, catchy melody embodies classic idol pop, and the soaring chorus gently gives listeners a push forward.
Much like the drama’s warm worldview, this song is especially recommended for anyone looking to firm up small resolutions in their daily life.
Blue Storynaniwa danshi17rank/position
Naniwa Danshi is supported by a wide range of generations.
The song they created as a tie-in with Sea Breeze is “Blue Story.” It’s a refreshing track themed around youth.
In the commercial, the song plays over scenes of members Shunsuke Michieda and Kento Nagao running on a field, so many people probably associate it with a “sports day song.” Of course, even if you haven’t seen the commercial, the passionate lyrics and sound are sure to boost your motivation to run.
Youth Rhapsodynaniwa danshi18rank/position
When it comes to Naniwa Danshi’s appeal, it’s definitely their bright and refreshing vocals, right? With that in mind, I recommend this song, “Youth Rhapsody.” The rapid-fire part appears right from the intro, so it might seem difficult, but it isn’t a flow-heavy rap—it’s a more monotonous, chant-like section.
As long as your enunciation is steady, you should be able to get through it without trouble.
The highest note is hi F, while the lowest is mid C#; so while the range reaches high, it isn’t very wide overall.
As long as you adjust the key properly, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.
Don’t Worry!!naniwa danshi19rank/position
It’s a heartwarming message song where freshness and warmth blend together.
Released by Naniwa Danshi in February 2025, the track drew attention as the theme for SoftBank’s “Tobideru” commercial.
Its catchy pop sound pairs perfectly with lyrics that gently embrace life’s worries and anxieties.
It tells you, “You’re fine just the way you are,” boosting your self-esteem.
It’s a song that gives you a push when you’re feeling uneasy about daily life or the future.
Asymmetrynaniwa danshi20rank/position
A quintessential dance track that fuses a melody imbued with poignancy and emotion with powerful, dance-like elements.
Released in September 2025, it appears on Naniwa Danshi’s ninth double A-side single.
Chosen as the theme song for TV Asahi’s OshiDora Saturday drama “Revenge Spy,” it shines with expressions that closely mirror the drama’s worldview.
Written and composed by Keiya -amazuti-, it features an authentic J-pop sound crafted to stir the listener’s emotions.
Rather than a song to boost your energy, it’s recommended for moments when you want to fully immerse yourself in its musical world.

Missingnaniwa danshi21rank/position
The song “Missing,” used as the theme for the TV drama Knocking on a Locked Door starring member Daigo Nishihata.
For Naniwa Danshi, it’s unusually cool and stylish in its production.
While the piece has a strong jazz flavor, the vocal line itself leans toward J-pop with a slightly kayōkyoku feel, so it’s not overly difficult.
However, a falsetto appears toward the end of the chorus, so take care there.
Since it’s a relatively low falsetto, it’s a good idea to lower the key and try singing it with mixed voice.
Please use this as a reference.
