Ringo Sheena Love Songs & Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]
Crime and PunishmentShiina Ringo1rank/position
A song by Sheena Ringo whose heartrending cry—wanting nothing more than to hear her own name—pierces the chest.
The figure who seeks only the certain “now,” even at the cost of abandoning the future, seems to portray the agony of a heart falling into a love it knows is forbidden.
This work was released as a single in January 2000 and was also included on the classic album Shōso Strip.
It apparently wasn’t originally slated to be a single, but there’s an anecdote that its release was decided due to strong demand from fans.
When you listen to it at times when your heart feels like it’s about to break between the pure desire to be with someone and the reality that such desire is a “sin,” you may feel as if the song affirms your pain along with everything else.
Kiss me hereShiina Ringo2rank/position
Ringo Sheena’s “Koko de Kiss Shite.” is a song that captures fleeting moments of love that pass through the heart.
Its lyrics brim with a woman’s feelings that might make any man’s heart skip a beat when he hears it at karaoke.
Released in 1999 and still beloved by many fans, the track honestly reflects what she felt while living in Fukuoka and drew significant attention.
The beautiful visuals of her performing in a rose garden are also memorable, and it’s perfect for appealing to the man you like with the message: “Kiss me right here, right now.” If a man hears it, he’ll surely understand how you feel.
It’s sure to help create a romantic atmosphere.
GibbsShiina Ringo3rank/position
A love song by Sheena Ringo in which possessiveness toward a lover and the fear of losing them pierce the heart painfully.
Released in January 2000, this work was a lead single from the acclaimed album Shōso Strip.
It debuted at No.
4 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and received the Excellence Award at the 42nd Japan Record Awards, among other high honors.
Though the protagonist wants to believe in eternity, their sensitivity leads them to see a future lie in the word “forever.” Many listeners may find themselves relating to the depth of love that equates their relationship with that of a legendary couple.
On Happiness (Pleasures Edition)Shiina Ringo4rank/position
“Koufuku-ron (Etsuraku-hen)” (The Happiness Theory: Pleasure Edition), the fourth track on Ringo Sheena’s debut album Muzai Moratorium, released on February 24, 1999, is a rocking love song that blazes through with whirlwind-like guitar sounds, a punchy vocal, and lyrics that ask what true happiness really is—leaving a fierce, unforgettable impact as it races past!
slideShiina Ringo5rank/position
It’s Shiina Ringo’s classic “Suberidai,” which conjures the image of a woman quietly disheartened by his lies and people-pleasing.
The very simple sound really highlights the poignancy.
She wants to cry and accuse him, but instead she doesn’t—she just waits for time to pass.
I imagine there are many women, like in this song, who quietly suffer in silence over infidelity.
mellowShiina Ringo6rank/position
Mellow, a classic by Sheena Ringo, was included on the 2000 album Zecchōshū and later received a music video in 2008.
Her songs are notoriously hard to interpret due to their distinctive world-building, and while the true meaning of this track remains unclear, lyrics that profess love while brandishing a knife at the beloved bring to mind the idea that love and hate are two sides of the same coin.
It’s a song I’d recommend when you’re torn between affection and resentment.
The contrast between the song’s fierce sound and the almost fairy-tale feel of the music video is astonishing!
Adult code of conductShiina Ringo7rank/position
Produced by Ringo Sheena and selected as the theme song for the TBS drama “Quartet,” this work is a forbidden adultery song that portrays the secrets and inner conflicts carried by two lovers.
The heavier responsibilities that come with adulthood, and the loneliness of living with feelings you can’t confide to anyone, are vividly reflected in its striking lyrics.
Sung by the unit “Doughnuts Hole,” formed by the drama’s four lead actors, the song aligns beautifully with the story and is sure to resonate with people of all generations struggling with love.
Even if the romance is unattainable, please take time to savor this track, which listens to and stays close to those feelings.
The Long and Short FestivalShiina Ringo8rank/position
With the slightly old-fashioned turns of phrase so characteristic of Shiina Ringo, the lyrics are exquisitely sultry and uninhibited, singing of a woman who throws her whole heart into love in the present moment.
Calling love itself “summer” is a chic touch, and the official music video makes that nuance feel even stronger.
That said, it portrays the story of a woman who, drowned in love, ends up turning to crime, which might make it a bit unsettling.
instinctShiina Ringo9rank/position
Ringo Sheena’s songs, which depict instinctive human desires, impulses, and inner conflicts, are captivating for their distinctive sound grounded in alternative rock and interwoven with elements of jazz and classical music.
Candidly portraying emotions such as jealousy and narcissism, they also express an adult reality that has shed the moratorium of youth.
Released in October 1999, this work was selected as the ending theme for the Nippon TV music program “FUN” and reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
Its music video—set in a hospital with innovative direction—also drew attention, winning the BEST FEMALE VIDEO award at the SPACE SHOWER MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS.
With powerful vocals and highly message-driven lyrics, it’s a recommended track for those who want to enjoy self-expression at karaoke.
