SOPHIA Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)
Baby SmileSOPHIA11rank/position

Included on the 2011 album “ALL 1995–2010.” A visual-kei rock band from Osaka Prefecture that made their major debut in 1995.
With a rhythm that lays down a simple, straightforward rock beat and a pop melody, the high-toned vocals deliver a song that’s pleasing to the ear.
NEWSPAPERSOPHIA12rank/position

This is a song that expresses the feelings of a boy involved in a certain incident.
Even as a B-side, it sparked a lot of debate.
The song itself is jazzy, cool, and stylish, but… The title “Newspaper” literally refers to a newspaper.
The idea that someday he will even disappear from that slip of paper is incredibly painful and lingers in the heart.
brother & sisterSOPHIA13rank/position

This is SOPHIA’s “brother & sistar,” a track where you can really soak in that quintessential ’90s sound.
I say “quintessential ’90s,” though it was actually released in 2006.
They’re one of those bands that went on hiatus and are still eagerly awaited to return.
It’s a brother-themed song—more like a celebration of sibling love—packed with SOPHIA’s signature style, giving it a slightly different flavor from other songs in the genre.
Gokigen Bird ~crawler is crazy~SOPHIA14rank/position

This is a song by the band SOPHIA, which Mitsuru Matsuoka—who is now also active as an actor and in other fields—was a member of.
The subtitle, taken literally, would be “Flattery Is Out of Its Mind,” and the lyrics deliver a biting satire of that way of living.
It unfolds like a story in which the character’s room gradually grows larger.
MissileSOPHIA15rank/position

SOPHIA is a visual kei rock band that was hugely active from the 1990s through the 2000s.
Unusually for visual kei bands of the time, they produced many songs that earnestly pursued glam rock, and they were highly regarded by critics.
Their track “Missile” carries a distinct David Bowie vibe, with a rough yet simple and singable vocal line.
The vocal range is narrow, and even a raspy voice can add character, making it a song that works well for occasions like after-parties.
