REBECCA Popular Song Ranking [2026]

FriendsREBECCA1rank/position

REBECCA “Friends” (Shibuya Public Hall, Dec 25, 1985)

A signature song by REBECCA, a band that epitomized the music scene of the 1980s.

The lyrics, said to be written by vocalist NOKKO based on her first love, vividly capture a snapshot of youthful longing—where sweet naivety and a mature mood coexist.

For many, the moment that dazzling synthesizer intro begins, memories of that era come rushing back.

Released in October 1985, the song also became familiar in households as the ending theme for the Nippon TV drama “Half Potato na Oretachi.” It’s lovely to listen to its slightly wistful melody and see your younger self reflected in it.

MOONREBECCA2rank/position

Rebecca Rebecca Moon

This is a song by Rebecca, a band that was hugely active on the Japanese rock scene in the 1980s.

It was released in 1988 as their ninth single, a track cut from the album “Poison.” The lyrics tell of the moon quietly watching as a girl gradually grows into a woman.

It’s a classic packed with the wavering feelings of a teenage girl and a delicate, ephemeral mood.

LONELY BUTTERFLYREBECCA3rank/position

REBECCA – LONELY BUTTERFLY

A song released in 1986.

It portrays the feelings of a woman just before she leaves.

The slightly wistful, sparkling sound combined with Nokko’s sweet vocals creates an overflow of sentiment.

It doesn’t feel like she’s leaving because she simply fell out of love; perhaps she’s found a dream to pursue.

I picture someone who’s had happy times with the person she loves, now spreading her wings and flying free.

Maybe it’s also an expression of gratitude to him.

I think it’s a love song that never fades with time.

VirginityREBECCA4rank/position

Rebecca virginity

Rebecca is best known for “Friends,” but in recent years it seems that attention has also turned to their early and later songs.

Speaking of their early signature tracks, this is the one.

Although Rebecca had a strong pop image from a little before “Friends,” I feel that in their early days they leaned more toward a rock sound.

Maybe TomorrowREBECCA5rank/position

Rebecca Maybe Tomorrow

This is one of Rebecca’s classic songs that I want you to listen to when you’re tired from chasing your dreams every day and feel like stopping for a moment.

Even if today doesn’t go well, maybe tomorrow you’ll break through this wall.

On days when you rouse yourself like that, you realize you’re not alone, and the strength to keep going wells up again.

Making up with GodREBECCA6rank/position

REBECCA – Kamisama to Nakanaori

A single released in 2000.

It was the theme song for the film “The Boy Who Saw the Wind,” which came out the same year.

The four-member rock band debuted in 1984.

Their name comes from Kate Douglas Wiggin’s novel “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.” The harmonica in the intro is striking, and NOKKO’s vocals, carried by the gentle melody, feel just right.

Nervous but GlamorousREBECCA7rank/position

REBECCA – Nervous But Glamorous

“Nervous But Glamorous” is Rebecca’s eighth single, released in 1987.

Faced with the girl that the guy she has a crush on likes, she can’t help feeling jealous and acting a bit mean.

Anyone who’s had an unrequited crush on someone who’s already involved will find a lot to relate to.
