Shiina Ringo Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Rain Falling in the DarkShiina Ringo43rank/position

[Cover] I tried singing “Rain Falling in the Dark” (with guitar/vocal)

Included on “Shōso Strip.” A track with a very unsettling atmosphere, featuring striking strings.

The chorus melody rhymes “ame darō ga” with “sadame darō ga,” creating a strong sense of rhythm.

A quintessential Shiina Ringo song.

Iroha nihohetoShiina Ringo44rank/position

Sheena Ringo – Iroha ni Hoheto

A stylish track with a Japanese flair, “Iroha nihoheto.” It captures Shiina Ringo’s coolness while exuding a somewhat eerie, lonely atmosphere that becomes addictive.

Included on the 2014 album “Hi Izuru Tokoro,” the song was tied in as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Kamo, Kyoto e Iku: Shinise Ryokan no Okami Nikki.” Compared to Ringo’s other songs, this one works better when sung in a subdued, matter-of-fact way.

So it might actually suit people who aren’t confident in expressive, emotive singing.

02. Ringo Sheena – I’m in Love with Your Eyes

When I listen to this song, I feel like I’m being drawn into Shiina Ringo’s unique world.

Her individuality really stands out, and I’m amazed by how many differences there are from the original track.

But being able to arrange a song in such a distinctive way is part of Shiina Ringo’s charm.

The vocals and Ringo’s personality are blended well, resulting in a wonderful piece.

It’s definitely worth a listen at least once.

Dizziness (Shiina Ringo cover)

This is also a track from the third single, “Koko de Kiss Shite.” It was written while she was staying in the UK before her debut, and Shiina describes it as having a “cloudy feel.” Although it’s rarely performed live, it remains a popular song.

The Ultimate LifeShiina Ringo47rank/position

Ringo Sheena – Supreme Life

Singer-songwriter Ringo Sheena, also known as the frontwoman of Tokyo Jihen, has remained at the forefront of the J-POP scene since her debut with her one-of-a-kind voice and musicality.

Her 15th single, Supreme Life, written as the theme song for the TV drama “My Husband’s Wife,” leaves a strong impression with its contrast between a languid vocal delivery and guitar phrasing.

The lyrics evoke a forbidden love, likely to stir hearts that tend to grow sentimental in June.

It’s an emotional number with a passionate melody that feels good to sing.

Kuki -Stem- (Japanese Version)

This piece is characterized by an Oriental sound that fuses traditional Japanese instruments like the koto and shakuhachi with Western music.

Released in January 2003 as Shiina Ringo’s first work after a hiatus, it became her first single to top the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Its poetic, abstract lyrics, interweaving English and Japanese, evoke profound themes such as the “survival of a species” and the “chain of life.” It was also used as the theme song for the short film Hyakushoku Megane, which Shiina herself directed and starred in, showcasing her artistry in both music and visual media.

Perfect for quiet nights spent in contemplation or for those who cherish artistic sensibility.

A recommended track for anyone who wants to savor the elegant world of J-pop infused with jazz elements.

Run, NumberShiina Ringo49rank/position

Sheena Ringo – “Run, Number” || Sheena Ringo [To That Ocean of Trees] || Lyrics

A track included on Ringo Sheena’s album Hi Izuru Tokoro, it leaves a strong impression with a funk-infused sound that emphasizes groove throughout.

It’s said to have been created with the image of keyboardist Masayuki Hiyzumi playing a clavinet, and that clavinet tone seems to add lightness and pop flair amid the heft of the rhythm instruments.

Along with the fun, funky vibe of the sound, the lyrics incorporate driving-related words, making it a song that feels well-suited to a driving situation.
