Running Songs Artist Ranking [2026] (91–100)
Ultramarine DaysToukyou Jihen96rank/position
The title track of Tokyo Jihen’s debut single.
There’s still a touch of freshness, but vocalist Ringo Sheena’s distinctive voice and singular lyrics are fully present.
I imagine many people were drawn into Tokyo Jihen’s world by this song.
It’s a bright track, so if you listen to it when you’re getting tired on a run, it might just bring your motivation back.
There is nothing but love in the world.Keyakizaka4697rank/position
A song released by Keyakizaka46 in 2016 as their second single.
With a structure that climbs from an A-melody delivered in a poetry-reading style to a suddenly fast-paced, exhilarating chorus, it’s an ideal track for the latter part of a run, perfect for a final sprint to the finish.
CQCQKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta98rank/position
This is the theme song for the drama “Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo” (I Love You Just a Little Bit).
Its consistently rock-driven pace stirs up the urge to keep on running.
When the chorus hits, the vocals soar into high notes and the tempo peaks.
With dynamic shifts, it’s a master at building excitement.
The exhilarating sense of speed is irresistibly addictive.
peace signYonezu Kenshi99rank/position
This is the opening theme song from the anime My Hero Academia.
Beyond its up-tempo, cool melody, the lyrics make you feel like you can keep running as far as you want, making it perfect for running.
For those who run solo, I hope you’ll listen to this track and strengthen your resolve!
Mela!Ryokushokushakai100rank/position
A mixed-gender four-piece band formed around members connected via social media who came together in a high school light music club—this is a song by Ryokuoushoku Shakai.
Although it wasn’t released as a single, the track, included on their second album “SINGALONG,” boasts over 100 million streams and is known as one of the band’s signature songs.
The clear yet powerful vocals soothe the body and mind tired from running while also giving you the power to keep going.
Add it to your playlist, and when it comes on, its driving, exhilarating pop sound will give you that extra push to keep up the pace.
