Maki Ohguro Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)

Toward an eternal dreamDaikoku Maki8rank/position

Maki Ohguro’s ninth single, “Eien no Yume ni Mukatte,” which debuted at No.

1 and also peaked at No.

1 on the Oricon charts, is an energetic song that portrays a fiery spirit of pursuing one’s dreams.

Just listening to the striking roughly 1-minute-20-second intro draws you right into the world of the song.

If you let yourself dive in while that adrenaline-boosting intro plays, you might find that, despite its high difficulty, you can actually ride the momentum and sing it surprisingly well.

Try singing it with the mindset of using your energy and excitement to make up for the technical challenges!

Let’s break up. Let’s disappear—me from you, and you from me.Daikoku Maki9rank/position

Contrary to its impactful title, Maki Ohguro’s “Wakaremashou Watashi Kara Kiemashou Anata Kara” masterfully steers the listener’s emotions.

While depicting heartbreak, it conveys a sense of strength, and its striking lyrics—where bravado and vulnerability intersect—really resonate.

The demanding high notes are another hallmark of the song.

Singing it at karaoke will set your emotions alight and leave you feeling wonderfully refreshed.

If you’re a karaoke master carrying a touch of sadness, I highly recommend singing this track to let your feelings out.

Anything Goes!Daikoku Maki10rank/position

“Anything Goes!”, produced as the theme song for the tokusatsu series Kamen Rider OOO, features powerful vocals and a catchy melody.

Since its 2010 release, it has enjoyed enduring, enthusiastic support from fans, who say things like “the surging power and persuasiveness are off the charts!” Delivering those soaring high notes with power is by no means easy, but by savoring the lyrics brimming with hope for the future as you sing, you can come closer to Maki Ohguro’s stirring performance that rouses the hearts of listeners.

This is the first single released since Maki Ohguro resumed her activities in 2015, and also the first single marking her 25th debut anniversary.

Both the musical style and the music video’s storyline convey a sense of mature allure.

It’s also surprising that this was her first anime tie-in in 20 years.

Over the RainbowDaikoku Maki12rank/position

Released in 2001, “Niji o Koete” portrays someone striving to move forward after a painful breakup.

Its lyrics convey the strength to overcome sadness, and when combined with the catchy melody and Maki Ohguro’s uniquely powerful vocals, the result is an irresistibly singable, captivating track.

The midsection features sustained high notes and is fairly challenging, but once you clear that part, the rest should let you sing freely.

Rather than focusing solely on vocal technique, try savoring the lyrics as you sing.

Return To My LoveDaikoku Maki13rank/position

It’s a song by Maki Ohguro.

It’s an upbeat, lively track, but the lyrics are about pushing away an ex who says something like, “I realized your good points after we broke up,” with a bittersweet resolve.

It also feels like the woman might still be in love, deep down.

BecauseDaikoku Maki14rank/position

Released in 1992, this song sings of the love of a strong yet graceful woman and won the support of many women.

Maki Ohguro’s songs are often thought to be challenging because of the high notes, but aside from the final high note, this one stays relatively in the mid-range and the melody is easy to remember.

It’s sure to be a hit at karaoke with a group of women, so give it a try and practice!
