Sekitori Hana Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (21–30)
New flowerSekitori Hana21rank/position
The title track of their first major full-length album, “A New Flower,” released in 2021.
It was selected as the ending theme for the morning show Sukkiri in February 2021, making for a refreshing start to the day.
This comfortable mid-tempo tune features a warm, band-driven sound with a gently buoyant rhythm.
Marking an important step as they bloom into a new challenge of self-production, the song—brimming with hope and encouraging lyrics—makes you feel ready to begin the day with a fresh mindset.
The Last BlueSekitori Hana22rank/position
It’s also the song used in the Kobe Women’s University commercial, and from both the lyrics and the music video, it purely makes you feel how wonderful youth is.
At the same time, it’s a track that makes you want to cherish your present self and the things you hold dear even more! It’s an acoustic guitar-and-vocal performance, but Sekitori Hana’s beautiful singing voice really shines through, and the gorgeous sound is so soothing.
morningSekitori Hana23rank/position
The second single, “Morning,” released in January 2018.
It’s a medium-tempo track I’d recommend for greeting the morning with a relaxed, open feeling.
You’ll be wrapped in a refreshing atmosphere where Hana Sekitori’s clear, gentle vocals blend beautifully with the winter air.
It has been used as the theme song for a news program for Japanese audiences in North America, and I’ve heard that the night-owl Hana Sekitori incorporated what she felt after actually getting up early while producing the song.
It feels like you’ll be able to start your day with a clean slate!
TokyoSekitori Hana24rank/position
Starting with an intro marked by a powerful band sound, this song is included on her first mini-album, THE, released in 2010.
It has a markedly different feel from her current, softer and warmer style.
As the title “Tokyo” suggests, the lyrics depict the city of Tokyo and how the singer herself changes within it.
The lyrics, which portray the struggles of life in Tokyo, are likely to strongly resonate with those who moved to the city from other regions.
MapleSekitori Hana25rank/position
This is a version sung by Hana Sekitori, whose powerful yet gentle voice is striking, performed as an acoustic guitar solo.
Her vocal strength truly shines in the chorus of this song, and its soaring quality is captivating.
The first verse is played with arpeggios, and from the second verse onward with strumming, dramatically shifting the impression within a single track to convey the song’s story.
shooting starSekitori Hana26rank/position
This is a track included as the sixth song on the first album, “If I Could Meet That Girl in the Golden Sea,” released in September 2015.
I was moved when I heard it—amazed that just a voice and a single acoustic guitar could draw you into a song this deeply.
It’s a piece that seeps into your whole body.
fireflySekitori Hana27rank/position
This song is included on the album “So It Won’t Become Just a Memory,” released in 2018.
Her gentle vocals match perfectly with the accompaniment, which combines a lively band sound with a refreshing acoustic guitar.
The overall atmosphere of the track and the lyrics—singing “Let’s go anywhere, just the two of us”—are captivating, but her vocal work is truly outstanding! Especially from just before the chorus into the chorus itself, you can really feel the allure of her singing, with abundant use of vibrato and seamless shifts between falsetto and chest voice.
wisdom toothSekitori Hana28rank/position
Commissioned for NHK’s Minna no Uta in April and May 2018 and released digitally in May, the song “Oya Shirazu” (Wisdom Tooth) is a moving ballad whose lyrics intertwine the “wisdom tooth” and the idea of being “unknown” or distant to one’s parents, just as the title suggests.
Those who have wrestled with the complicated feelings of adolescence and the inability to be honest that comes with a rebellious phase will likely find it deeply relatable.
The frustration and the burdens you couldn’t share with anyone—and the feelings you wished you could have conveyed to your parents—overlap and resonate in the heart.
escapadeSekitori Hana29rank/position
The lead track “Tōhikō” (Escape) from the mini-album Kitto Watashi o Matteiru, her second major release in 2020.
The music video—featuring actor Gaku running as if fleeing—also leaves a strong impression, and the song draws you in with lyrics that are serious yet suggest a glimmer of hope.
It might even make good background music for running.
Produced by Yoichiro Nomura, who has worked on her music since her indie days, it conjures a delicate world, and when that merges with Hana Sekitori’s gentle image, it becomes a companion that stays close, especially when your days aren’t going well.
Brothers on the RoadSekitori Hana30rank/position
It’s a very cheerful and catchy piece that makes you want to stroll aimlessly under a clear sky.
It’s a song by Hana Sekitori, a singer-songwriter from Kanagawa Prefecture, included on her 2022 album “Mata Aimashitane” (“We Meet Again”).
It was chosen as the theme song for the variety show “Hodō/Shadō Variety: Michi to no Sōgū.” The refreshing sound arrangement makes you want to sway your body from side to side.
It naturally lifts your spirits.
I can picture brothers with their arms around each other, saying, “Let’s go anywhere together.”
