Straightener Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
Melodic Stormsutoreitenaa1rank/position
A song by the rock band Straightener, included on the album Dear Deadman.
It has long been loved as an anthem that unites the entire venue at live shows.
It was also used as the ending theme for Hokkaido Television’s NO MATTER BOARD.
While the instrumental parts give a technical impression, the structure is straightforward and the tempo is easy to groove to, so if you focus on it over winter break, I think you’ll be able to play it.

It’s a gem-like song that captures the fleeting light and wistfulness of summer’s end.
Atsushi Horie’s poetic world is portrayed by overlaying the evolving relationship and shared memories of two people onto a shard of glass whose corners have been rounded by the waves.
The pure desire to see the world through a loved one’s eyes rides on a driving sound and really hits home.
Released in April 2016, the track was later included on the album “COLD DISC.” Its popularity is clear from placing second in the fan vote for the best-of compilation.
On nights when you want to reminisce a little about the season that’s passed, its beautiful melody will gently accompany your sentimental heart.
Winter Sunsutoreitenaa3rank/position
I’d call “Fuyu no Taiyo” a single that packs all the best of Straightener into one song.
Released in 2014 as their 17th single, it’s also a crowd-pleaser at live shows.
The Japanese lyrics draw you in like you’re reading a story, while the melody builds momentum toward the chorus in a compelling rock tune.
The intro is memorable too, evoking the stillness of winter, and when it ends you’ll want to start it over again.
I hope you’ll listen while taking time to savor each and every line of the lyrics.
KINGMAKERsutoreitenaa4rank/position
Formed mainly by childhood friends since their middle school days, Straightener is a four-piece rock band performing under a name that means “one who makes things straight.” Their song “KINGMAKER,” included on their major 7th album STRAIGHTENER, is striking for its waltz-time beat featuring edgy guitar sounds.
Along with a bassline that moves throughout the entire track, the slap-driven solo showcases just how cool the bass can be as an instrument.
It’s a powerful rock tune whose low end, supporting the hysteric sound, lingers in your ears.
The Future Is Nowsutoreitenaa5rank/position
This is a single released by Straightener on April 11, 2018.
It was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Digimon ReArise, and the track captures a dynamic feel inspired by the anime’s world.
The “piko-piko” sound you hear in the intro and chorus isn’t a programmed sequence—it’s actually guitarist Jun Oyama producing that tone with effects on his guitar, which is pretty surprising.
lightSutoreitenā×Hata Motohiro6rank/position
In the clear winter air, this is a song that lights a warm flame in the heart as you think of someone precious.
As the voices of Atsushi Horie and Motohiro Hata—each with their own distinct appeal—intertwine, you can feel the story gain a striking depth.
The gentle waltz rhythm mirrors the hurried steps on the way home, enveloping listeners in a tender mood.
Released in November 2017 as Straightener’s first collaborative single, it also drew attention for being featured in the winter campaign commercial for Nagasaki Huis Ten Bosch.
It was later included on the album “Future Soundtrack.” Give it a listen on those homeward walks in the season when we long for connection—when you want a quiet warmth to rest close to your heart.
TRAINsutoreitenaa7rank/position
An upbeat tune featuring simple drums and guitar, with a bass that keeps delivering striking lines.
The lyrics poetically capture the fragile, glass-like state of mind of a traveler on a long journey, while the driving instrumentation conveys the strength to keep moving forward.
This exquisite division of roles between the lyrics and the sound work is both unique and a major strength.
Despite its simplicity, the song can really build excitement, and its difficulty is neither too easy nor too hard, which is why many people covered it in their youth.
Since its 2007 release, it has remained a beloved classic.
