[60s] Popular Songs Ranking by Generation [2026] (91–100)

Backstreet Boy (ON THE ROAD “FILMS”)
Boy in the back alleyHamada Shogo

This song, which is also Shogo Hamada’s debut single, was released in 1976.

It’s a coming-of-age song that sings about his memories from ages 16 to 22 spent in Yokohama, and just the intro alone is enough to fire up Hamada’s fans.

Reissued singles were released in 1989 and 2005.

When singing it at karaoke, it’s really cool if you can nail the part where the chorus jumps up an octave.

It should be a lot of fun if everyone claps along and gets into it together.

A Midsummer IncidentHirayama Miki100rank/position

The moment you hear Miki Hirayama’s languid, dry husky voice, it feels like you’re being whisked away to a midsummer night.

At first glance, this song seems like a bittersweet love story, but the bold theme hidden in the lyrics stirs a bewitching imagination in the listener.

Beyond Kyōhei Tsutsumi’s funky groove, the urban sound is just irresistibly cool.

Released in May 1971, the piece earned Tsutsumi the Composer’s Award at the 13th Japan Record Awards.

It was later featured as an insert song in the film “Minna—Yatteru ka!” directed by Takeshi Kitano.
