Shiina Ringo Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Unconditional LoveShiina Ringo64rank/position

Cyndi Lauper Unconditional Love from Live In Yokohama

A song that covers and arranges a classic by Cyndi Lauper.

It’s the coupling track to “Kabukichō no Joō” and is also included in the B-sides collection “Watashi to Hōden.” Perhaps to showcase the vocals to the fullest, there are no drums and such, giving it a distinctive atmosphere.

GamblingShiina Ringo65rank/position

Shiina Ringo – Gamble (HD/FLAC)

This is a song whose dark tone and profound lyrics resonate deeply.

It’s included on Ringo Sheena’s live album Zecchoushu released in September 2000, and it portrays loneliness, inner conflict, and an earnest longing for a loved one.

Vivid metaphors and symbolic expressions stimulate the listener’s imagination, and its unique worldview—treating life and love as a “gamble”—is especially captivating.

The energetic live vocals and performance are stunning, delivering an overwhelming sense of presence.

It’s perfect for times when you’re feeling down or want to sort out your emotions, so give it a listen.

Sid and DaydreamsShiina Ringo66rank/position

Ringo Sheena – Sid and a Daydream {acoustic live, Nagoya ’99}

It seems the song was composed before she turned 19, and her talent is truly astonishing.

I recommend the version included on “Innocence Moratorium,” which has a very cool, rock-style arrangement.

Of course, this live version on YouTube is wonderful as well.

StoicismShiina Ringo67rank/position

Stoicism

This 1-minute-46-second piece is placed as a bridge leading into the latter half of the album Shōso Strip.

It’s characterized by the ascetic nuance suggested by its title and a unique sound full of darting electronic tones.

In fact, it’s cleverly paired with the preceding track, “Crime and Punishment”: if you read the seemingly nonsensical string of lyrics backward, a certain phrase emerges.

Dense artistry and playful spirit are compressed into this short runtime.

Try solving this word puzzle yourself.

remote controllerShiina Ringo68rank/position

Remote Controller

“Remote Controller” is a coupling track to singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena’s second single “Koko de Kiss Shite,” released in 1999.

Born from everyday, minor frustrations, the piece interweaves deep emotions and reflections on life.

In particular, the act of searching for the remote control symbolically portrays an attempt to regain inner control.

Its delicate melody and Sheena’s distinctive vocals resonate profoundly with listeners.

It’s perfect for quietly listening on a holiday afternoon or during time alone, inviting introspection.

This work distills Sheena Ringo’s individuality and musicality, offering a glimpse into the breadth of her musical world.

Wine Red HeartShiina Ringo69rank/position

Wine Red No Kokoro

Shiina Ringo captivates listeners with her one-of-a-kind artistic world.

She debuted in May 1998 with the single “Koufukuron” (The Theory of Happiness), and her music—fusing rock, jazz, kayōkyoku, and other genres—has won wide acclaim.

Songs like “Honnō” and “Gips” retain an undimmed allure and continue to influence many artists today.

Her landmark 2000 album “Shōso Strip” sold over 2.3 million copies.

That literary and provocative worldview is perfect for anyone seeking a musical experience unlike any other.

Be sure to give her songs a listen.

Marunouchi SadisticShiina Ringo70rank/position

Tokyo Incidents – Makunouchi Sadistic

This is a signature song by Ringo Sheena, one of Japan’s leading singers.

It’s a truly cool track that shows influences from jazz and rock, and if you can sing it well, you’ll surely earn respect not only from men but from women as well.

Definitely give it a try.
