PASSEPIED Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

An Overlong Springpasupie1rank/position

PASSEPIED – The Spring That Lasted Too Long

This song, with its strikingly Japanese-flavored atmosphere in the melody, is a track by the rock band Passepied, active since 2009.

They’ve created works with a conscious nod to Japanese aesthetics before, but this one feels especially strong in that regard.

Not only the vocal melody line, but also the drum and bass rhythm in the intro evoke a festival procession.

Midway through, the keyboard plays with a shamisen-like timbre, and the more you listen, the more you’ll want to explore every corner of the track.

It’s a song where catchy pop sensibilities and a poised, traditional Japanese charm coexist in beautifully balanced harmony.

Chinatown – Passepied

This song, which could be called Passepied’s original “oriental” track, comes together as a lively number built on a four-on-the-floor foundation.

The (pleasantly) cheap tone of the guitar in the intro adds to a charming world that feels like a depiction of Chinatown in a movie.

The carefree, upbeat lyrics also mark a style that seems like it would suit them but isn’t actually that common in their work, which is another part of its appeal.

[MAD] 5 Centimeters per Second — Passepied “Last Train”

With Natsuki Ogoda’s cute vocals and a catchy pop sound that’s easy on the ears, this song is by the four-piece rock band Passepied and was included on their 2012 mini-album “ONOMIMONO.” It sings of a maiden’s heart that struggles to say the one thing she wants to convey.

PASSEPIED – Tōryanse

An oriental song by Passepied with a chorus melody that sticks in your head, chanting “Tōryanse, tōryanse.” The Japanese-style world Passepied creates isn’t quite purely Japanese; it carries the vibe of a slightly off-kilter “Japan” imagined by Westerners.

This seems to have a lot to do with vocalist Natsuki Ogoda’s personal tastes.

PASSEPIED – The Back of the Back

Like Tokinowa, this song was used as an opening theme for the anime RIN-NE.

From the intro, the flashy synths roar, and the driving rhythm section really grabs you! The physical performance scenes are absolutely captivating!

MATATABISTEPpasupie6rank/position

Passepied – MATATABISTEP, Passepied – MATATABISTEP (Music Video)

A straight-up danceable track with a strong disco vibe—something their earlier songs didn’t quite have.

The catchy “pa, pa, rarira” phrase makes you want to sing along with everyone.

Also, don’t miss Ms.

Ogoda’s cuteness as she sings and dances in front of the mic in the music video.

PASSEPIED - S.S Music Video

As the opening track on their first full-length album, this song retains Passepied’s signature style while putting an even greater emphasis on a “band-like” sound than before.

The midsection features a cool sequence of solos—drums, then keyboard, guitar, and bass—that’s a must-hear.

The music video, shot on a riverbank, is delightfully surreal and well worth a watch.
