Ringo Sheena Love Songs & Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

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!

The Long and Short FestivalShiina Ringo9rank/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.

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.
