"Nightmare of the Galaxy Street" (from the Blu-ray/DVD included with the First Limited Edition of the new album "Nautilus")

A heartfelt song by SEKAI NO OWARI that sings of life’s suffering and hope.

Within its fantastical, melancholic atmosphere lies deep emotion and a powerful message.

Released in January 2014 as a coupling track and later included on the album “Tree,” this piece has been highly praised as a work symbolizing the band’s evolution.

Fukase’s delicate vocals and Nakajin’s masterful arrangement make it an unforgettable classic that leaves a deep impression on listeners.

It’s a song that gently supports those who face themselves and strive to move forward.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking music that stays close to the heart.

ANTI-HEROSEKAI NO OWARI22rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「ANTI-HERO」

SEKAI NO OWARI’s 10th single, released in July 2015.

Chosen as the theme song for the film Attack on Titan starring Haruma Miura, it generated significant buzz.

Although the lyrics are entirely in English, the vocal range isn’t very wide, making it a singable track for those comfortable with reading English or who enjoy singing Western music.

The song strongly reflects the world of the movie, so it’s also recommended for fans of Attack on Titan!

YOKOHAMA bluesSEKAI NO OWARI23rank/position

【Music Story】 「YOKOHAMA blues」 produced by ABEMA

A stylish, bittersweet city pop track that blends seamlessly into the nightscape of Yokohama.

Opening SEKA NO OWARI’s acclaimed 2019 album “Lip,” this song gained attention as the theme for an AbemaTV dating reality show and later inspired a short drama.

It paints a nostalgic scene where a passing whiff of perfume carried by a sea breeze brings back memories of a love that has ended.

The sophisticated sound woven by a variety of instruments matches beautifully with the heart-wrenching lyrics.

Why not listen to it on a night when you want to get a little sentimental, picturing the scenery of a port town?

BirdmanSEKAI NO OWARI24rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “Birdman”

SEKAI NO OWARI’s classic “Birdman,” known as the theme song for the news program Mezamashi TV, is a piece with a refreshing melody that evokes the morning.

It’s also one of the easiest songs to sing.

Although it may not seem so because Fukase’s voice is high, the song is actually written within a narrow vocal range.

That makes it approachable even for those who struggle with high notes.

The lower notes in the first verse (A-melody) can be a bit challenging, so if that concerns you, try raising the key by one or two semitones.

Hey HoSEKAI NO OWARI25rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「Hey Ho」

SEKAI NO OWARI is a four-member mixed-gender band that captivates fans with lyrics spanning from the minimal to the global.

Their 10th major single, “Hey Ho,” was released as a support single for the zero animal euthanasia project “Bremen.” The lyrics depict the difficulty of taking action for someone else, and the reality that there are still beings calling for help—words that may make many listeners stop and think.

It’s a song about the weight of life, where a strong message contrasts with a pop ensemble that tightens the chest.

Moonlight StationSEKAI NO OWARI26rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “Moonlight Station” from ‘Twilight City at NISSAN STADIUM’

This worldview makes my heart flutter.

A mid-tempo track included on the 2015 album “Tree.” Written and composed by Fukase, it’s an ambitious piece that incorporates various traditional Japanese sounds like shamisen and koto, overflowing with Sekai no Owari’s romantic charm.

It evokes a beautiful atmosphere reminiscent of the unreachable cosmos and the moon—so lovely.

The irresistibly catchy, comfortably grooving melody makes your body move, and the love story set on the “Moonlight Station” is downright swoon-worthy.

It’s a song that will put a smile on your face, perfect for a summer night sky.

The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)SEKAI NO OWARI27rank/position

Kachofugetsu

“Kachou Fuugetsu” is a track included on the triple A-side single “INORI,” released in 2011.

The lyrics, written by member Saori, depict anxiety and inner conflict.

Listening to the words evokes a sense of sorrow.

With minimal melodic range and a calm feel, it’s an easy song to sing at karaoke.

The vocal range isn’t very high, so men may be able to sing it in the original key.

Since the lyrics use the first-person pronoun “watashi,” it’s also a song I’d like women to sing.

Mitsunotsuki

Featured on the February 2019 album “Lip,” this track offers a soothing contrast between delicate instrumentation and a gentle vocal delivery.

As time passes and things change, the moon continues to shine in memory.

The lyrics, painting such scenes, evoke a beautiful yet bittersweet story.

It’s a nostalgic number with an irresistible, uniquely floating sensation where reality and fantasy seem to blend.

turquoiseSEKAI NO OWARI29rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI “Turquoise”

In this commercial where Mitsuki Takahata appears alongside the members of SEKAI NO OWARI, you can see them jamming on “Turquoise.” The performance kicks off with Takahata’s cue of “One, two, three!” and then Fukase and Takahata layer their vocals over the accompaniment.

It’s striking how everyone—both SEKAI NO OWARI and Takahata—looks like they’re having a great time.

In the latter half of the ad, they all raise cans of Hyoketsu for a toast, and Takahata’s straightforward line, “Ah—so good!” leaves a strong impression.

umbrellaSEKAI NO OWARI30rank/position

SEKAI NO OWARI「umbrella」

A fantastical medium-tempo ballad that personifies a voiceless “umbrella” and portrays its pure will to protect someone.

Released by SEKAI NO OWARI in June 2020, the song also drew attention as the theme for the drama “Dragon Road: Two-Faced Avenger.” Written from the perspective of an umbrella that shouldn’t have emotions, the lyrics convey a poignant determination to protect a cherished person, even at the cost of self-sacrifice, resonating deeply with many fans.

When you strongly wish to protect someone, or on nights when you feel lonely, listening to it may bring warm tears to your eyes.
