Cute idols from Kansai! Naniwa Danshi’s most popular songs ranking (21–30)
Emeraldnaniwa danshi29rank/position
A track from Naniwa Danshi’s first album, “1st Love.” With lyrics vowing, “No matter what happens, I’ll always stay by your side,” and an emotionally moving sound that resonates deeply, it leaves a strong impression.
While it’s a warmly heartfelt love song, when played on piano it somehow also sounds like a graduation song.
“Emerald” conveys not only gentleness but also a sense of determination to “protect the one you love.” Be sure to add plenty of dynamics and play it expressively.
Poppin’ Hoppin’ Lovin’naniwa danshi30rank/position
The song “Poppin’ Hoppin’ Lovin’” is notable for its bright melody.
Released in 2023, it delivers a highly pop-oriented sound just as the title suggests.
This kind of style can be considered Naniwa Danshi’s forte.
The song’s vocal range is an average mid1F to hiC.
While the pitch movement is somewhat lively, the standard range and mid-tempo make it overall easy to sing.

The Answernaniwa danshi31rank/position
While Naniwa Danshi are strongly associated with the sparkling image of classic idols, some of their songs carry a mysterious allure.
One I especially recommend is The Answer.
Released in April 2022 as their second single, it’s also known as the theme song for the drama The Files of Young Kindaichi, starring Shunsuke Michieda.
The dark-fantasy soundscape—woven from majestic strings and a driving, fast-paced beat—draws listeners straight into the story.
Its first-week sales of about 535,000 copies testify to the excitement at the time.
You’ll be captivated by their cool expressions, a striking contrast to their usual bright smiles.
It’s the perfect track for a stimulating night or when you want to sink into a dramatic mood.
Chuki-chuki Hurricanenaniwa danshi32rank/position
From their first album “1st Love,” the track “Chukichuki Hurricane” became a huge buzz when Naniwa Danshi unveiled its choreography on the group’s TikTok before the release.
The lyrics were written by Daigo Nishihata, and the choreography was created by Ryusei Onishi.
After the members posted their dance video, clips of the “Chukichuki Dance,” featuring a move where you poke a peace sign into your cheek, exploded in popularity across social media.
It’s a super high-energy song that says, “I can’t stop loving you!” Even if singing it feels a bit embarrassing, you might have a blast playing it on the piano.
Over The Horizon!naniwa danshi33rank/position
A work brimming with the exhilaration of taking a step beyond the everyday.
Set to Naniwa Danshi’s signature refreshing pop sound, it captures the thrill of setting out into an unknown world.
Included on the album “BON BON VOYAGE,” released in July 2025, this track is a pivotal number that truly heralds the start of an adventure.
Although it isn’t the title track, it serves as the face of the album, with both an MV and making-of produced, and is cherished by fans.
In contrast to its breezy, feel-good listen, the chorus features high-energy, intense choreography, making it thoroughly compelling as a performance as well.
Play it when you’re trying something new or want to break through the status quo—it’s sure to give you courage.
A recommended track for anyone looking to recharge with positive power.
Boku Sora: A Future Without Footprintsnaniwa danshi34rank/position
Naniwa Danshi is an idol group that captivates many with their sweet vocals.
Included on their album “1st Love” is the track “Bokuzora — A Future Without Footprints.” The song conveys a desire to “be friends with people all over the world” and to “paint a wonderful future together.” If you perform to this warm message, it’s sure to get the crowd excited.
Another highlight is the lyrics, which incorporate images of the “sun” and “sky” that evoke a school sports day.
Moon, Fire, Water, Wood, You, Day of the Weeknaniwa danshi35rank/position
Lyrics that vividly capture the feelings of a boy in love with a girl at the same school make a huge impact! It’s a song packed with situations many of us have experienced: heading to school with a fluttering heart hoping to see your crush, thinking about her even during club activities, or wondering at home on a day off, “I wonder what she’s doing now.” In the interlude, you’ll even hear the familiar school chime melody! Adults can reminisce about their school-days romances, and students can play the piece on piano while wishing for the success of their ongoing love.
