Yuji Oda Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Love SomebodyOda Yūji1rank/position

Yuji Oda with Maxi Priest - Love Somebody [High Quality]

Singer Yuji Oda, who shot to fame during the trendy drama boom of the 1990s and now maintains an unfaltering presence as a veteran actor, continues to captivate audiences.

His 13th single, “Love Somebody,” used as the theme song for the TV drama Bayside Shakedown (Odoru Daisousasen), features a laid-back, offbeat reggae ensemble that feels wonderfully easygoing.

The catchy chorus has a charm that makes you want to hum along, even if you’re not from that generation.

It’s a pop tune guaranteed to get everyone going at karaoke and a top recommendation for those in their 30s.

All my treasuresOda Yūji2rank/position

Yuji Oda All my treasures

This work, passionately sung by Yuji Oda, who served as the main anchor for the World Athletics Championships for many years, conveys his heartfelt emotions.

It depicts hope for the future, bonds with companions, and gratitude toward loved ones.

The message that a smile is an irreplaceable treasure overlaps with the earnest dedication of athletes, stirring up a deeply moving sense of inspiration.

Released as a single in July 2007 and also included on the album “Arigatou” the same year, the song was used as the TBS network’s World Athletics theme from 2005 to 2022.

Oda’s own performance at the 2007 Osaka championships was particularly memorable.

It’s a track that affirms all the efforts and memories up to now and gives you strength to face the future.

For anyone striving toward a goal, it’s a powerful push forward.

A Love Song I Couldn’t SingOda Yūji3rank/position

Yuji Oda: The Love Song I Couldn't Sing

Yuji Oda, an actor who also has a long career as a singer, released his third single, “Utaenakatta Love Song,” in 1991.

It became his biggest hit, selling over 570,000 copies.

The song was also used in a commercial for the Cervo Mode, in which Oda himself appeared.

Its distinctly ’90s pop sheen, vivid sound, and catchy melody are wonderful, and it’s a song that really makes you want to sing along—very much in Oda’s style.

The lyrics, which seem to depict the last moments of student life before graduation and what comes after, wrap you in a nostalgic feeling and give you a boost to keep going.

I feel that Oda’s vocal—imbued with a touch of melancholy yet carrying a bright atmosphere—further enhances the song’s appeal.

Over the TroubleOda Yūji4rank/position

No Money Yuji Oda OVER THE TROUBLE

When you think of Yuji Oda, you think of Bayside Shakedown; and when you think of Bayside Shakedown, you think of Love Somebody—or All My Treasures from the World Athletics Championships.

Yuji Oda has many songs that remain etched in the memories of Japanese people, but my personal favorite is Over the Trouble, the theme song for the Fuji TV drama The Poor Man (in which Yuji Oda himself starred).

His singing style and English pronunciation in the song are truly one-of-a-kind—something only Yuji Oda can pull off.

TogetherOda Yūji5rank/position

Yuji Oda — Together / Theme song for the 1999 World Athletics Championships in Spain

This song was created as the theme for the 1999 World Athletics Championships in Spain, broadcast on TBS.

Yuji Oda wrote the lyrics himself, expressing the strength to keep moving forward despite inner conflict.

Its refreshing, catchy melody leaves a strong impression and turns it into a unifying cheer anthem.

Released as a single in August 1999, it was also used as the ending theme for the popular TBS program “Kinniku Banzuke.” Later, it was included on the single “All my treasures,” released in July 2007.

It’s a track that fires you up—overcoming anxiety, uniting with your friends, and striving toward your goals.
