Kazuyoshi Saito Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
SignalSaitō Kazuyoshi11rank/position
Although it sings of lingering attachment to a finished romance and a farewell, the piece somehow feels refreshingly light.
“Signal” is a track from the 21st album, “55 STONES,” released in 2021.
The easy-on-the-ears band sound meshes beautifully with the lyrical world.
You can feel the sadness and loneliness, yet by the end it leaves you with a dry, clear aftertaste.
This holds true for many of Saito’s other songs as well, but since there are almost no parts that require belting, it’s very easy to sing.
I won’t let myself cry.Saitō Kazuyoshi12rank/position
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, who has released numerous masterpieces that almost everyone has heard at least once—such as “Aruite Kaerou” and “Utautai no Ballad”—included the track “Naitetamarka” on his 22nd album, PINEAPPLE.
Its dreamy music video, filmed at the National Museum of Nature and Science, also became a hot topic.
The contrast between the rich ensemble of piano and strings and its upbeat melody gently envelops you during moments when you want to relax alone.
It’s a song with depth that’s also easy to sing calmly at karaoke, making it highly recommended.
Midnight PoolSaitō Kazuyoshi13rank/position
Kazuyoshi Saito has many moving songs delivered in a conversational voice.
“Midnight Pool” is a slightly sad love song released in 2004.
Hearing through the grapevine that an ex-girlfriend is getting married brings back memories and fills the heart with gentle feelings—that’s the kind of song it is.
A bittersweet and touching love song perfect for the end of summer.
The stars look beautiful in the sky.Saitō Kazuyoshi14rank/position
The popular song “Sora ni Hoshi ga Kirei,” known from Myojo’s “Charumera” commercial jingle and used as an insert song in the 2016 drama Hibana, was released as their 10th single in 1996.
Its lyrics offer the comforting feeling of someone by your side when you’re down after a failure or troubled by something small—such a beautiful worldview.
The melody is calm, with a relatively low vocal range.
Try singing it while imagining a night sky full of twinkling stars.
swallowtail (butterfly)Saitō Kazuyoshi15rank/position
Was it somewhere out on the street that you saw a 21-year-old woman singing and playing guitar? The 21-year-old her is singing today, the 22-year-old her, the 26-year-old her, and the 32-year-old her are all still singing today.
It sounds like an anthem that affirms and cheers on a singer-songwriter who keeps singing to such a “her,” saying “I Like You”—meaning, “I don’t dislike you.” Perhaps the swallowtail butterfly is a symbol of a being that can take flight into the sky.
rainbowSaitō Kazuyoshi16rank/position
This song has a cool, crisp acoustic guitar sound.
It’s a track released by singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito in 2008 as his 33rd single.
Its uptempo, danceable vibe will lift your spirits just by listening.
Over the SeasonSaitō Kazuyoshi17rank/position
This song was featured as the CM tune for “Maruchan Akai Kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” in 2021 and was released as a digital single.
It’s a ballad that tenderly yet warmly portrays the changing seasons and the passage of time.
It’s perfect for when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.
The expansive, richly layered sound arrangement is another highlight.
Since it isn’t a word-heavy piece, don’t rush—sing it while cherishing the meaning of each word.
Muddy WaterSaitō Kazuyoshi18rank/position
It’s “Muddy Water,” the theme song for the 2016 version of the drama Unhappy Fruit.
The same drama was also broadcast in 1997 with a different cast.
The song gives the impression of someone thinking, “Why is it only me…?”—worn out by a love with no end in sight, and nostalgic for their former self who had no doubts.
Happy Breakfast, Boring DinnerSaitō Kazuyoshi19rank/position
It is the 14th single by Kazuyoshi Saito, released in 1997.
It was used as the ending theme for the 2010 film Golden Slumber.
Kotaro Isaka, the author of Golden Slumber, is said to have resolved to live as a writer after listening to this song.
Sunflower DreamSaitō Kazuyoshi20rank/position
Overflowing with a sense of openness and carrying a positive message to go big without sweating the small stuff, this is a classic by Kazuyoshi Saito that resonates deeply with adults caught up in the demands of everyday life.
Featured on the concept album “ONE NIGHT ACOUSTIC RECORDING SESSION at NHK CR-509 Studio,” released in September 2012, this track was also used in the Sapporo Hokkaido PREMIUM commercial starring Nanako Matsushima.
The groove unique to its acoustic arrangement pairs perfectly with Saito’s warm vocals, creating a soothing comfort that makes your shoulders naturally relax as you listen.
Perhaps it’s precisely the generation shouldering responsibilities at work and at home that needs the song’s generous worldview.
Give it a listen on a weekend drive, or when you want to pause and take a deep breath!
