Fairy Tale Popular Song Rankings [2026]

THANK YOUotogibanashi15rank/position

Fairy Tale “THANK YOU” PV

This song is from the 6th single, “THANK YOU/This is just a Healing song.” In this music video, it starts with the lead guitarist showing up late, followed by mistakes from the guitar-vocalist and then the lead guitarist again, and the practice vibe keeps getting worse and worse.

Coincidentally, Singalong Parade’s “Sumanai” came to mind (though of course this was released earlier).

While enjoying the song itself is a given, I think appreciating the opening is also one way to enjoy it.

WHITE SONGotogibanashi16rank/position

Fairy Tale – WHITE SONG (PV)

It’s a track included on their third album, FAIRYTALE.

Even at a relaxed tempo, the tight, rock-driven guitar sound seems to be one of their hallmarks.

The singer-guitarist’s acoustic guitar gives the song a soft touch.

The line about a “smile that suddenly stirs something deep in my chest” really hit me personally.

Fairy Tale “Weekend” PV

This song, which closes out the 4th album “HOKORI,” is under two minutes long, but despite its simplicity it has a distinctive depth.

Lead guitarist Ushio says, “It’s a song I love that would absolutely never be a single.” Apparently, he played the guitar solo with “Karappo” in mind.

The solo’s tantalizingly drawn-out phrasing is part of its charm.

Fairy Tale “Cute Research Club” (Official Music Video)

One track from the 2015 release “CULTURE CLUB.” Its sound—rock ’n’ roll with occasional psychedelic touches—is highly addictive.

The hand-drawn, animation-style music video is also a must-see, blending cuteness with psychedelia in a uniquely distinctive way.

Sleepless in Seattleotogibanashi19rank/position

Fairy Tale “Sleepless in Seattle” (Official Music Video)

This is a song with a fully animated music video that captures the mood beautifully.

It sings sadly yet beautifully about two people who have parted ways, and listening to it after a breakup might soothe your heart.

It also depicts the forward-looking resolve to move on, cherishing the memories as something good.

Fairy Tale “Serenade” (Official Music Video)

A sweet love song that lets you feel the summer.

Blending a fairytale-like, elegant sound with relatable lyrics, it’s a soothing track to listen to.

The song has a gentle, swaying quality with a soft touch.

Tears of Lightotogibanashi21rank/position

Fairy Tale – Tears of Light @ Ringo Music Festival 2013

It’s a song with a curious charm: the performance feels comfortable while somehow stirring a quiet passion, and the melody carries a touch of melancholy.

The band solidly supports the vocalist’s distinctive voice, so it slips smoothly into your ears and feels natural even to first-time listeners.
