Popular Band Rankings [2026] (61–70)
To tell you the truth,yangusukinii61rank/position
In front of the person you like, you end up putting on a brave face, blurting out words you don’t mean, and sinking into self-loathing.
This song by Young Skinny portrays that clumsy yet endearing tsundere kind of love.
Released as a single in October 2022, it was also chosen as the ending theme for TBS’s “King’s Brunch.” It’s known for becoming the band’s first track to surpass 100 million total streams and is included on the album “I Thought Anything Would Be Forgiven If I Turned It Into a Song.” Many listeners will likely relate to the painful contradiction of pushing someone away even though you really like them.
Kayayu’s true-to-life vocals are sure to gently nudge the hearts of those troubled by love.
Blending bittersweet lyrics with a pop sound, it’s a rock number that captures listeners’ hearts and won’t let go.
Just, thank you.MONKEY MAJIK62rank/position
A gemlike ballad that gently and carefully expresses deep gratitude to someone precious.
Its striking lyrics, weaving Japanese and English together, overflow with a “thank you” that’s hard to say in everyday life and a pure wish to see the other person’s smile.
The calm melody and heartwarming words quietly stay close to the listener’s heart and stir deep emotion.
Released by MONKEY MAJIK in August 2008, the song drew attention as the theme for the TBS drama “Ando Natsu” and was also included on the album “TIME.” It’s often used as background music at weddings and in moments of expressing thanks, making it a perfect song for conveying your feelings to someone important.
HONEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel63rank/position
When it comes to artists that men in their 40s often listened to, doesn’t L’Arc~en~Ciel come to mind? This time, I’d like to introduce “HONEY.” One of my students practiced this song too.
L’Arc~en~Ciel’s vocal range is surprisingly on the lower side.
I think it’s easy to sing for people with a typical male range plus the ability to use falsetto.
The chorus is very clear and uplifting, so it’s easy to add dynamics, and rock fans will love it! On the flip side, the key might be how to keep the low notes from getting muffled.
If you’re not used to a certain range, both low and high notes can require a lot of breath.
When singing low notes, imagine releasing a slow, steady mass of air—your body will resonate more easily and you’ll hear your own voice better.
And above all, the groove matters! It also makes it easier to project your voice, so sing with energy and get into the groove!
frecklesJUDY AND MARY64rank/position
This song is filled with the bittersweetness of youth.
Released in February 1996 as one of Judy and Mary’s signature works, it was also used as the opening theme for the anime Rurouni Kenshin.
It became a huge hit right after its release and marked the band’s greatest commercial success.
Centered on themes of love and past memories symbolized by freckles, it sings about the importance of having the courage to accept yourself.
With its up-tempo, energetic rock sound, it resonates with anyone going through their youth.
Recently, it’s enjoyed a revival hit on TikTok as the soundtrack for simple choreography videos.
Why not give it a try?
Until the World Ends…WANDS65rank/position
It’s a rock ballad that fuses lyrics depicting loneliness and a sense of loss in the big city with a powerful melody crafted by Tetsurō Oda, leaving a striking impression with a masculine inner landscape that stands apart from their earlier love-song approach.
Released in June 1994 as WANDS’s eighth single, it was chosen as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime Slam Dunk and became a million-seller, topping the Oricon weekly chart for two consecutive weeks.
With its hard-edged guitar sound and Shō Uesugi’s emotional vocals, the track resonated across generations—helped by the karaoke boom at the time.
Its composition appeals not only to anime fans but also to rock enthusiasts, so give it a listen when you want to revisit your youth.
FLY AGAIN 2019MAN WITH A MISSION66rank/position
They’re a band widely known for their distinctive wolf-themed visuals and for landing a variety of tie-ins with movies, TV dramas, and anime.
In addition to the standard rock band setup, they include a DJ, creating a must-hear style that blends a loud, rock-driven foundation with elements of electronic music such as programmed tracks and scratching.
Their songs are in high demand at festivals across the country, and their catalog has no filler—from high-energy, danceable tracks to beautifully crafted, mellow rock ballads.
Island SongTHE BOOM67rank/position
When it comes to karaoke repertoire, “Shima Uta” is a must, don’t you think? It incorporates elements of Okinawan music and has a poignant tone with themes of nature, prayer, and parting.
The overall range spans A#2 to A4, leaning wide on the low end, but if you manage your breath well, you can stay on pitch.
The melody is very simple, so it should be easy for anyone to sing.
When aiming for a high score, be careful not to slip during the section where the tempo speeds up at the end, and nail the finish.
For the low notes, focus on sending your breath forward slowly.
Let your body resonate and go for a top score!
Kimi Anniversary ~Thank You for Being Born.~Sonar Pocket68rank/position
Released in 2012 by Sonar Pocket, “Kimi Kinenbi ~Umarete Kite Kurete Arigatou~” is a song that lets you convey gratitude along with birthday wishes.
A birthday, which comes only once a year, should be the happiest day for that person.
That’s why it’s not enough to just say “Happy Birthday”—you should also express the thanks and feelings that you’re usually too shy to say face to face.
This song makes that possible.
It’s filled with highly relatable feelings you hold for the people you cherish.
On your loved one’s special day, try sending them this song as part of your celebration!
GO!!!FLOW69rank/position
An energetic rock tune packed with a message to boldly carve out your own future.
The lyrics portray challengers cutting through anxiety and doubt as they charge toward greater heights, igniting the hearts of listeners.
The driving band sound and the interplay of twin vocals make it nothing short of an explosive catalyst for live shows.
Released in April 2004 as FLOW’s fourth major-label single, it was used as the opening theme for the globally popular anime Naruto.
In April 2024, a special 20th-anniversary 8cm CD edition was released, generating major buzz.
It’s a soul-stirring number that’s perfect for anyone seeking courage when they’re down or looking to go wild with friends.
MPRINCESS PRINCESS70rank/position
One of PRINCESS PRINCESS’s signature songs, passionately singing about the pain of heartbreak.
The sense of loss after losing a lover, paired with the strength to keep looking forward, rides on the members’ earnest vocals and strikes straight to the heart.
Included on the 1988 album “LET’S GET CRAZY” and released as a single the following year, the song was also featured in NHK’s morning drama “Dan Dan,” and is beloved across generations.
It’s a track that resonates not only when you want to get fired up at karaoke, but also when you need to soothe the wounds of a broken heart.
It might be nice to sing it together while reminiscing about a love from the past.
