Southern All Stars Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (31–40)
The sun is a sinful guy.Sazan Ōrusutāzu31rank/position
The exhilarating summer song “Taiyo wa Tsumi na Yatsu” is also recommended.
It’s a track about summer love and that bubbly, excited feeling.
Fittingly, the melody is arranged in an up-tempo style.
Another hallmark of this song is that it incorporates a lot of English.
So be sure to check the pronunciation carefully as you sing.
By the way, the Japanese parts are set just a little higher in key, so it should suit both those who struggle with low notes and those who struggle with high notes.
Christmas Love (After the Tears, White Snow Falls)Sazan Ōrusutāzu32rank/position
It’s a heartwarming winter song that gently wraps the cold and loneliness of the season in its melody.
Released by Southern All Stars in November 1993 as their 34th single, it was used as the theme for Marui’s 1993 Christmas campaign commercial.
The song portrays the aching feelings for a loved one far away.
It expresses the loneliness of Christmas Eve and deep affection for a partner, comparing the sorrow after a breakup to quietly falling snow.
It’s recommended for those who want to feel the bittersweetness of winter romance or express their feelings for someone special through music.
Give Up on SummerSazan Ōrusutāzu33rank/position
“Natsu wo Akiramete” was released in 1982 as a song by Southern All Stars, and is also known for Naoko Ken’s cover released the same year.
The somewhat wistful, melancholic accompaniment pairs perfectly with Kuwata’s sexy, husky voice.
The lyrics depict a certain couple going to the seaside, but the story and the couple’s relationship are open to various interpretations.
Are they a couple who just started dating, a pair on the verge of breaking up, or perhaps lovers in a relationship they can’t tell others about? Try listening while imagining a fleeting summer romance, and let the song sink in.
Kotodama of Love ~Spiritual Message~Sazan Ōrusutāzu34rank/position
Southern All Stars are a five-piece band that have continued to lead the J-pop scene and are loved by people of all ages.
This track, where festival-like beats intertwine with rap, is a dreamlike number that portrays the scenery of Kamakura and the spiritual theme of kotodama (the power of words).
Released as a single in May 1996, it drew major attention as the theme song for the TV drama “Invisible Man” starring Shingo Katori.
It achieved an astonishing total sales of about 1.395 million copies according to Oricon, and is also known as a hit that helped propel the classic album “Young Love.” It’s a masterpiece best enjoyed quietly while feeling the summer night breeze.
Forgotten Big WaveSazan Ōrusutāzu35rank/position
This commercial highlights the greatest appeal of UNIQLO’s popular AIRism line—its feel against the skin.
Featuring Haruka Ayase and Yuka Mukai, their smiles and the way they wear AIRism clearly convey its relaxed comfort.
Enhancing that laid-back atmosphere is the song “Wasurerareta Big Wave” by Southern All Stars.
Its gentle sound evokes a calm seaside, while the reflective lyrics also carry a touch of melancholy.
Sakura, flutterSazan Ōrusutāzu36rank/position
The announcement commercial for the Southern All Stars feature streaming on U-NEXT uses “Sakura, Hirari.” It’s a digital-only single released in January 2025.
The lyrics are said to sing of the feelings of earthquake victims, and while they convey pain and sorrow, they also evoke a sense of strength and hope to move forward again.
Its beautiful, warm, spring-like imagery is also captivating, making it a heartwarming song.
I Want to Be Embraced in a Sea of Tears ~SEA OF LOVE~Sazan Ōrusutāzu37rank/position
A summer love song by Keisuke Kuwata, whose passionate yet somehow wistful voice resonates in the heart.
The anguish and frustration born of love are portrayed with rich emotion, like waves washing in and out, making you empathize almost involuntarily.
Released as a single in July 2003, it became well-known as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “My Only Madonna.” Listen to it on a summer drive or when you’re feeling a bit sentimental, and unforgettable scenes may come flooding back.
Kamakura MonogatariSazan Ōrusutāzu38rank/position
A commercial for Uniqlo’s Soufflé Yarn knitwear series, known for its light and fluffy feel.
As Haruka Ayase is out for a walk, she runs into Yuki Saito, who’s filming a cat.
Playing on the words “Soufflé Yarn” and “nyan” (meow), the line “Soufflé Nyan” pops out.
With its autumnal setting, the ad really makes you feel that knitwear season has already arrived.
The background music is Southern All Stars’ “Kamakura Monogatari,” a gentle track featuring vocals by Yuko Hara.
BOHBO No.5Sazan Ōrusutāzu39rank/position
This song by Southern All Stars is a playful track packed with erotic wordplay and social satire.
It features rhythmic lyrics and a groovy sound that’s sure to lift your spirits.
Released in July 2005, it was also used in a Toyota commercial.
If you’re singing it at karaoke, it’s perfect for moments when you want to get everyone pumped up.
Hop on the upbeat rhythm, sing and dance your heart out, and have fun—your mood is guaranteed to soar!
Beware of words in the key of CSazan Ōrusutāzu40rank/position
Let me introduce a pop song about adult romance: “C-chō Kotoba ni Goyōjin.” Here, “C-chō” doesn’t refer to the musical key; it’s a phrase meaning someone who’s glib or smooth-talking.
The song’s storyline portrays the romantic entanglements between a smooth-talking man and many women.
Although the man is depicted as glib, the song’s appeal lies in how you can also sense the innocence and loneliness behind his behavior.
When singing it, watch out for the spots where the key suddenly jumps up.
That said, the overall melody doesn’t move up and down much, so it should be relatively easy to sing.
