Japanese Rock Music Popularity Rankings [2026] (91–100)

FlowerORANGE RANGE99rank/position

Featured as the theme song for the film “Be with You,” this track became a runaway hit.

It’s a song by ORANGE RANGE, a mix-genre rock band from Okinawa, released in 2004 as their eighth single.

The moving worldview that sings of the miracle of meeting the one you love is truly touching.

It might be the perfect song to listen to when you feel like crying.

By the way, the song is divided into high, mid, and low vocal parts, so it’s also recommended for karaoke with multiple singers.

Monkey MagicGodaigo100rank/position

“Monkey business” means wrongdoing or mischief.

Words that start with “monkey” generally carry the sense of being second-rate or insignificant.

Does that make “Monkey Magic” a trivial magic trick, then? Be that as it may, doesn’t this song instantly bring to mind the TV drama “Journey to the West”? Many people probably used to imitate Masaaki Sakai’s action scenes as Sun Wukong when they were kids.

Masako Natsume, who played the monk Tripitaka, was stunningly beautiful.

Sung entirely in English, this song’s mechanically tinged intro, reminiscent of progressive rock, made everyone feel the future.
