Salyu Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)
just a friendsalyu × salyu8rank/position

The solo project salyu × salyu, launched in 2011.
In this track, the sounds layer with pitch-perfect precision, almost like sampled vocals, creating an indescribably uncanny yet comforting feeling.
Listen closely.
Who, after all, is the “you” that appears in the lyrics?
Stay HappinessSalyu9rank/position

This commercial conveys the rich fragrance of Lenor Happiness, inspired by the image of Riho Yoshioka surrounded by flowers.
The unique depiction of flowers blooming from clothing is striking, illustrating how the scent spreads and stays well.
Further emphasizing the gentle atmosphere of the flower-filled visuals is Salyu’s song “Stay Happiness.” Centered on an acoustic sound, its soft tones play lightly, and together with the vocals, it conveys everyday happiness and relaxation.
THE RAINSalyu10rank/position

The song that played in the au 4G LTE Xperia UL “Rain Dance” commercial was Salyu’s “THE RAIN.” It’s a track from her 2015 album Android & Human Being.
Written and composed by producer Takeshi Kobayashi, who has crafted numerous J-POP masterpieces, the piece ultimately takes shape as a light yet grand song that gradually finds its way to the light.
From the opening, marked by a poignant piano melody, you’re steadily drawn into the flow toward the chorus, where guitar and drums intertwine and the sense of speed builds—like watching the sky and scenery change before your eyes.
Enhanced by Salyu’s vocals, its beauty deepens, making it a radiant and uplifting track.
Salyu Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
TaxiSalyu11rank/position

A download-only single by singer salyu, released in February 2021.
It’s a very gentle, mellow ballad that lets you fully enjoy salyu’s soft, tender vocals.
The singing in the chorus is especially remarkable—showcasing a beautifully executed soft high range that makes effective use of falsetto and mixed voice.
If you like female vocals with delicate, airy highs, this ballad will be a real treat.
It’s no exaggeration to call it a textbook example of tasteful falsetto use, making for a truly lovely performance.
The place where we metSalyu12rank/position

This is a digital single by Japanese singer Salyu, released in September 2019.
It’s a song written by Takeshi Kobayashi as the theme for the film “Go Away, Ultramarine,” starring Ryusei Yokohama.
I’ve introduced Salyu as a “female artist known for her high notes,” but she’s actually a singer whose charm lies more in a voice reminiscent of a boy’s before it changes.
She likely understands her own vocal qualities very well.
In the high-tone sections, her performance masterfully switches between her slightly distinctive falsetto and chest voice, depending on the expressive intent.
If you plan to sing it at karaoke, it’s best to study in advance which parts of the song use which type of voice.
