Taeko Onuki Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)

The soothing melody of “dreamland” is a song by Taeko Onuki released in 1991.

It was used as the image song for ANA’s “ANA’s EUROPE” commercial (Travelers/Hotel version).

The lyrics portray a woman’s feelings after a breakup in a very positive light.

Listening to it—like in the commercial—conjures up images of European streets with a mature atmosphere.

It offers a gentle sense of comfort while also evoking the sophistication of an urban adult, making it a highly recommended track.

The theme song of director Sunao Katabuchi’s 2001 animated film Princess Arete.

Its lyrics gently encourage those who have lost their way and grown weary, while Taeko Onuki’s soft, warm vocals envelop the listener’s heart.

A highly recommended track for times when your spirit feels tired.

Like a cat whimsically darting about, Sky-Flying Cat leaves a playful melody lingering in your ears.

Schroeder-Headz, the solo project of keyboardist Shunsuke Watanabe, features singer-songwriter Taeko Onuki on this track.

It was chosen as the ending theme for WOWOW’s original drama Pension Metza.

The song embodies the feeling that, although the free lifestyle we once had was lost due to the pandemic, our hearts should remain free.

That inner freedom is likened to a cat’s capricious nature and love of liberty.

It’s the kind of song that seems to gently ease the tension in your heart as you listen.

This song portrays the sparkle of summer and a special encounter.

It’s the kind of track that makes your heart flutter just by listening.

Taeko Onuki’s clear, translucent vocals bring summer memories vividly to life.

Featured on the album “Gray Skies,” the song captivates with arrangements that incorporate elements of jazz.

Released in June 2023, it drew attention as a perfect track for the summer season.

Ideal for a weekend drive or a stroll by the sea.

Listen while feeling a gentle breeze, and you’ll feel as if you’re spending the summer right alongside Onuki.

In the commercial for KAI, the hot spring ryokan brand operated by Hoshino Resorts, actor Sosuke Ikematsu appeared in the “I didn’t know a hot spring like this existed” segment.

Although the ad aired in 2023, the cover version of “Ii Yu Da Na” used in the CM was released in 2024.

The cover is by STUTS and Taeko Onuki, bringing together a cool, urban electronic sound with Onuki’s warm, gentle vocals in a perfect match.

It’s a lovely arrangement that seeps slowly into the heart.

From the rhythm in the intro, you can fully feel the Latin breeze.

It’s a track included on Taeko Ohnuki’s second solo album, released in 1977.

Along with lyrics that could be read as a scathing social critique, the Latin beat and pop melody create a unique sonic world.

I used to think this song evoked the image of Yanagawa, Hakushu’s hometown, but it seems he also had Hokkaido in mind.

I see—there’s a white clock tower in the lyrics, and it depicts Hokkaido, which Hakushu is said to have visited in his later years.

So it was the journey from Hokkaido to Yanagawa, then.
