Top Songs Ranking of Rekishi [2026]
Rekishi is the solo project of Takafumi Ikeda, the keyboardist of SUPER BUTTER DOG.
He always draws attention with humor-filled songs and music videos inspired by Japanese history, as well as collaborations with a variety of artists.
In this ranking, we’d like to introduce Rekishi’s most-listened-to songs of the year, in order!
Rekishi’s Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
KMTR645 feat. Nekokami no Kam Atarirekishi1rank/position
A collaboration track by Rekishi and Kyuso Nekokami, both renowned for delivering outrageously entertaining live shows.
The way the lyrics play with rhyme is delightfully clever, and it’s the kind of song that would send a festival crowd into a frenzy.
In the music video, keep an eye on Kyuso’s Seiya Yamasaki, who appears in a dolphin costume.
SHIKIBU feat. Awa no Odorikorekishi2rank/position
Those catchy phrases that call out people’s names really stick with you, don’t they? Rekishi, whose work is charmingly themed around Japanese history, is especially compelling.
SHIKIBU is the landmark first single from 2015, featuring Eriko Hashimoto of Chatmonchy under the Rekishi-name “Awa no Odoriko.” It portrays a delightfully over-the-top take on Murasaki Shikibu, the Heian-period writer.
The blend of refined elegance and Rekishi’s signature catchiness is addictive.
The music video also creeps up on you—it’s hilarious (lol).
It leans more toward a medium tempo, but the unique rhythm wraps you in a sense of exhilaration and really lifts your spirits!
From hunting to rice cultivationrekishi3rank/position
Rekishi is famous for releasing many songs that use history as their theme.
In fact, it originally started as a unit called “Rekishi.” From there, it became a solo project and now it’s just Rekishi.
His classic track ‘From Hunting to Rice Cultivation’ is a song themed around the Jomon and Yayoi periods.
While it has a comedic style, it doesn’t lean completely into humor.
The lyrics are actually quite moving, so it’s a great recommendation for karaoke with someone you’re interested in!
Giga I love yourekishi4rank/position
This number by Rekishi is perfect for Shichi-Go-San, the celebration of children’s growth.
It was used as the ending theme for the Crayon Shin-chan TV anime and as the main theme for the film Crayon Shin-chan: Crash! Rakuga Kingdom and Almost Four Heroes.
Released in September 2020, it features lyrics inspired by the Choju-giga scrolls, depicting a story unfolding from the very first stroke of the brush.
Its message—having the courage to take a new step and that dreams come true once you start running—serves as a heartfelt cheer for children who are about to grow in big ways.
The pop, upbeat melody is perfect for Shichi-Go-San videos or as celebratory background music, lifting the mood.
It’s a friendly, family-friendly song that everyone can enjoy.
Nengu for you feat. Hatamoto Hiroshi, Ashigaru-senseirekishi5rank/position
From the instantly soothing intro to the pleasantly smooth vocals and melody, this is a track that gets under your skin.
Above all, the lyrics—so gloriously old-fashioned they’re almost over the top—are sure to make you chuckle.
How about waking up on an ordinary morning to a love song that feels steeped in history?
KATOKUrekishi6rank/position
The CM song for Thor’s “Growth Anniversary: First Voyage” edition is Rekishi’s “KATOKU.” Released in 2017 as Rekishi’s second single, the track became quite a hot topic.
It features a sound reminiscent of ’80s rock, a catchy melody, and Rekishi’s signature clever lyrics centered on “history.” The music video also consciously channels ’80s rock and was made with clear nods to its original sources.
While it carries a sense of nostalgia and is full of amusing points due to the contrast with the lyrics, it’s a catchy, addictive classic.
GOEMON feat. Big Monzaemon (Daichi Miura)rekishi7rank/position
For those who want to go all in singing and dancing to a single track, I recommend Rekishi’s “GOEMON feat.
Big Monzaemon.” It’s a dance number released in 2018.
Daichi Miura is featured as Big Monzaemon, and the music video—where Rekishi dances dressed as Goemon—really stands out.
If you show up in a Goemon costume and makeup, it’s sure to get the crowd pumped.
