Penthouse Popular Song Rankings [2026]

NonsensePenthouse8rank/position

Penthouse – Nonsense [Official Music Video]

Penthouse is a band with both male and female vocals.

They describe their style as city soul and excel at producing glamorous, sharp tracks.

Their new song, Nonsense, showcases just that.

Along with powerful shouts, it features a variety of techniques that evoke elements of Black music like R&B and soul—such as ad-lib-style “feints” and funky falsetto.

The falsetto in the chorus is especially challenging, as it requires a sudden leap in pitch from chest voice, making it quite difficult.

The vocals feel relaxed yet powerful, clearly conveying a positive emotion.

Penthouse – Taking Shelter from the Rain [Official Music Video]

Penthouse is a band drawing attention with songs that spotlight their sound, which combines the catchiness of city pop with the power of soul.

This track was created as an inspiration song for the manga “Watashi ga Himo wo Kau Nante” and was released in July 2022.

The jazzy ensemble that unfolds in a 3/4 rhythm further brings out its beautiful melody.

The lyrical world of the song—depicting a precarious yet sweet relationship that begins with a rainy-day encounter—paired with its relaxed beat is soothing and cleansing.

Try listening to this emotional track, which seems to nestle up to the sound of the rain, on a quiet night.

Penthouse – Planetary［Official Audio］

With Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima as a male–female twin-vocal band, this is a super groovy, cool track that blends R&B, city pop/soul, and jazz elements.

If you try to harmonize on Maho’s parts, it can be pretty tough unless your breathing and timing match theirs perfectly, so I recommend listening repeatedly and practicing along! Especially from the second verse on, there are lots of overlapping lines and harmonies.

The live footage makes it easy to understand, so be sure to watch it and study!

Penthouse – ...If We Fall in Love [Official Music Video]

Penthouse is a city soul band formed by members who met in a University of Tokyo music club.

This track is a glittering pop tune that captures the exhilaration of the moment you fall in love.

From the intro, its catchy melody grabs your heart, and the soulful twin vocals of Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima resonate beautifully.

Released in May 2021, it’s also included on the EP “Living Room.” The lyrics—born from a conversation with friends—have a sense of realism, portraying positive emotions that make the world seem to shine, and many listeners will likely relate.

It’s a song that accompanies that buoyant feeling when you develop a crush, adding a touch of the extraordinary to everyday life.

Penthouse – I Love You [Official Music Video]

Penthouse is a six-piece band.

While rock is the mainstream in the Japanese band scene, they specialize in city soul—a genre that’s relatively rare in Japan.

City soul blends city pop and soul music, combining a flowing smoothness with soulful depth.

This work is one such example.

The vocal range is fairly wide, but there are many sections that make great use of the lower register, so if you’re a confident low-voiced singer, definitely give it a try.

Penthouse has established a unique sound that blends city pop and soul.

The harmonies between vocalists Shintaro Namioka and Maho Oshima have an unforgettable comfort once you hear them.

Among their songs, “Ryūseigun” (Meteor Shower) is especially recommended for karaoke.

It leans more toward city pop, so if you pull off the duet well, you can create a stylish vibe.

The lyrics are romantic, making it perfect for couples to sing together.
