Shibugakitai Popular Song Rankings [2026]
Eat some sushi!Shibugakitai1rank/position
By firing off the names of sushi toppings in a rap-like flow, this track fuses a distinctive rhythm with Japanese food culture to create a fresh, innovative pop song.
Its uniquely witty lyrics—sure to make anyone grin—combine with spirited call-and-response shouts to deliver a piece overflowing with fun.
True to Shibugakitai, it avoids being just another standard idol love song, wrapping you in a positive vibe that makes you want to sing along.
Released in February 1986, it was performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen even before the record came out, and it was also broadcast on NHK’s Minna no Uta.
It even sparked a social phenomenon, inspiring a drama of the same name on Fuji TV’s Getsuyō Doramaland.
With its infectious groove and playful lyrics, it’s the perfect song to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down or low on energy.

Their fifth single.
Shibugakitai’s songs are really characterized by catchy phrases that stick in your head, aren’t they? Even when the lyrics make you chuckle a bit, once you see and hear this sound paired with the trio’s full-throttle idol performance, it becomes addictive.
The choreography draws on each member’s character, so it can look a little uncoordinated, but that was part of the charm.
The finishing pose at the end of the song is especially memorable, and of course, it was a big hit.
100%…That might be the case.Shibugakitai3rank/position
It was their second single and also the song that won them numerous newcomer awards that year.
Its energetic performance and sing-along lyrics made it popular.
Many fans imitated and sang the parts where the trio’s roles were clearly defined.
Their cute “mischievous kid” image had an irresistible charm that, like a phrase from the song, made you say, “It’s addictive!”
Bravo! FujiyamaShibugakitai4rank/position
The 11th single by Shibugakitai, which was a huge hit in 1984.
From its slightly techno-esque intro onward, you can enjoy the light, quintessentially ’80s kayōkyoku arrangement.
The lyrics have that go-for-it vibe common in idol songs of the time—lines that, today, might be delivered as rap.
Shibugakitai praise the woman they fancy as “the best in Japan,” crooning with sidelong glances while breaking out exuberant dance moves, conveying the momentum they had as top-tier idols back then.
It’s a song that symbolically captures the unchanging height of Mt.
Fuji, in the past and now.
Virgin Shock! Virgin ShockShibugakitai5rank/position
Virgin Shock is the fourth single by Shibugakitai, released in February 1983.
The song was composed by Daisuke Inoue.
As the title suggests, it’s a shocking track.
Back then, many elementary, middle, and high school students sang it without knowing what “shojo” or “virgin” meant.
While it’s a song that really hypes up a karaoke session, I don’t recall ever seeing any of the younger Johnny’s talents perform it.
ZIGZAG SeventeenShibugakitai6rank/position
Released in 1982 and peaking at No.
5 on the Oricon charts, this song is known as one of Shibugakitai’s signature tracks—a coming-of-age anthem that portrays the romance of a 17-year-old.
Sung by the trio who had gained popularity as the “Senpachi Trio,” its poppy, catchy sound became emblematic of youth culture at the time.
Its style, influenced by Japonisme, was also distinctive and earned high praise on music ranking programs.
Perfectly matching the youthful image of Toshikazu Fukukawa, Masahiro Motoki, and Hidehiro Yakumaru, the track conveys the energy of youth and a free-spirited view of love through their performance.
It’s a recommended listen not only for those nostalgic for their teenage years but also for younger music fans interested in 1980s music.
NAI・NAI 16Shibugakitai7rank/position
An announcement has been made for the “Smartphone Debut Festival,” which supports students making their first smartphone debut.
In keeping with the festival’s name in Japanese, the commercial cleverly emphasizes the syllable “sai,” making for a humorous and memorable touch.
It’s hard to look away from the wild, high-impact scenes—like Takashi Sorimachi riding a rhinoceros and bursting through a house wall.
The background music is a parody of Shibugakitai’s signature song “NAI NAI 16.”
