SID Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Deceptive LoveShido22rank/position

SID “Deceptive Love” Music Video

From the Japanese visual-kei band SID, this song is included on their 11th album, “Umibe.” “Damasiai” was released digitally in advance of the album.

While many selections in this article are relatively advanced, I think this track makes an ideal practice song even for beginners at singing or karaoke.

The vocal melody itself doesn’t have many particularly difficult parts, so practice to faithfully reproduce this slightly side-to-side, groovy rhythm.

It’s perfect for developing your sense of rhythm and feel for the beat.

Since it’s an up-tempo song, be careful not to let your singing get ahead of the beat.

SID “0.5-Second Love” Music Video

This is a number by SID that passionately sings of a love story where love and hate intertwine.

The emotional lyrical world crafted by vocalist Mao pairs perfectly with the dark sound created by bassist Aki.

The blazing brilliance of love captured in this song, along with the ruinous emotions lurking beneath it, has the power to seize the listener’s heart.

It was a lead track from the EP “Dark side,” released in September 2025.

FebruaryShido24rank/position

February

SID is a visual kei band with an appealing balance between beautiful traditional Japanese nuances and friendly melodies.

The guitar riff, which seems to paint a wintry scene, feels pleasant.

Mao’s lyrics, said to be written with his soon-to-be-married younger brother in mind, sing of a love for a partner that can warm even the cold of February, and listening to it brings a sense of calm.

Playing SID’s “February” on a drive date would likely create a wonderful atmosphere.

It’s a warm song that conveys a sense of bond and celebrates the future of two people.

SleepShido25rank/position

SID “Sleep”

It’s a song about a sad love that will never come true.

It sings of a woman’s heart that can’t be his number one because he’s unfaithful, yet can’t forget him or give up.

The chorus has a deeply heartrending melody that makes you feel the pain just by listening.

Sweet?Shido26rank/position

Sid (SID): "Sweet?"

It’s a song that really feels like classic SID, and the makeup in the PV is full-on visual kei and looks awesome.

Mao’s heavy makeup is the best.

The opening guitar sets a great tone.

It’s a song portraying an office lady working hard on her own, and the straightforward lyrics are easy to relate to.

Sid SID and boyfriend

This is a song we often perform live.

The lyrics portray a cute girl who tries too hard to keep up with the person she loves.

It’s about saying, “Let’s match our pace next time,” and I think couples who’ve just started dating will relate to it.

The lyrics are happy, yet a little bittersweet.

Sid (SID) "chapter 1"

Unusually, this song starts with a violin.

The music video features sharp white suits and looks cool.

It’s a song about hope for the future and really fires up the crowd at live shows.

It powerfully expresses SID’s unique ability to make dreams come true.

The lyrics are interesting, comparing oneself to a conductor.
