Top Songs Ranking of Rekishi [2026]

Oinusama feat. Nindarekishi15rank/position

O-Inu-sama (Yamakawa @ Shinjuku Minotaur 2)

This is a dog-themed song inspired by the Edict on Compassion for Living Things enacted by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the fifth shogun of the Edo period.

It’s a track by Rekishi, known for releasing many comical and humorous songs, and it was included on an album released in 2014.

The lyrics, from the perspective of an owner who can’t help but try to keep their pet dog in a good mood, come across as endearing.

The laid-back sound arrangement is excellent and soothing to listen to.

It might be perfect as background music for walking your dog.

Probably Maybe Meiji feat. Ah, Tagirentarōrekishi16rank/position

Lekishi – “Probably Maybe Meiji feat. Ah, Tagiren Tarō” Music Video

Rekishi is a music project that delivers top-tier funk with Japanese history as its theme.

It’s the solo moniker of Takafumi Ikeda, also known as the former keyboardist of SUPER BUTTER DOG, and his groovy musicianship is second to none.

The project began in 2007 with the album “Rekishi,” and the tracks—featuring star guests like Ringo Sheena and Daichi Miura performing under playful “Rekishi names”—are brimming with a sense of fun.

Ikeda’s entertainer spirit is astounding, too: for the first pressing, he hand-drew the cover art for 10,000 CDs.

Even if history isn’t your strong suit, once you experience Rekishi’s music, those tricky figures and events will start to feel endearing.

It’s a project that will make you want to dive into the world of history.

A Tale of Somehow Moving the Capitalrekishi17rank/position

Dogenka Capital Relocation Story (MUSIC VIDEO)

A mellow, old-school disco vibe that makes you want to sway.

Rekishi’s falsetto is truly pleasant to listen to.

It’s really hard to sing at karaoke.

Falsetto is tough to pull off unless you’re a really good singer.

Erekishi (DJ Yatsui Ichirou × Rekishi) - Tropical Genji

Just hearing that it’s a collaboration with Ichiro Yatsui is enough to get so many people hyped! I’d love to hear it at a summer festival.

I can’t tell if it’s a bittersweet song, a goofy one, or something completely off-the-wall, but either way it totally lifts your spirits.

Haniwaniwa Ancient Haniwa Garden

I wondered what it was with that suspicious-sounding tune—turns out it’s about haniwa.

This vibe is addictive.

The slightly eerie atmosphere and the haniwa that look cute when you look closely fit this song perfectly.

Among Rekishi’s tracks that take history as their theme, this one is based on relatively ancient history.

alternate attendance systemrekishi20rank/position

Rekishi (History): Sankin-kōtai (Alternate Attendance)

It’s a song themed around sankin-kotai (the Edo-period system of alternate attendance).

The lyrics are pretty much straightforward.

The guitar intro is cool.

The track has a slightly psychedelic finish.

The guitar sounds like it’s probably running through fuzz, kind of Jimi Hendrix-style.

I’m guessing that’s intentional.

Princess Shake! feat. Maraemon Saitorekishi21rank/position

Rekishi 'Princess Shake! feat. Saitō Maraemon'

Guest appearance by Kazuyoshi Saito.

Honestly, he’s probably the only one who could get away with giving Kazuyoshi Saito such a goofy name.

As you’d expect with Saito on board, it’s a band sound where the guitar riffs really shine.

It’s a catchy, upbeat track that makes you want to clap along.
