Straightener Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

ALIBIsutoreitenaa29rank/position

Straightener – ALIBI

This track features a steady drum rhythm and a progression with a dark atmosphere.

The rhythm switches to half-time in the chorus, and the way it keeps building power until that point makes it a very cool song.

With its unique vibe and strong presence, this is a must-listen!

BERSERKER TUNEsutoreitenaa30rank/position

Straightener – BERSERKER TUNE

The music video is quite unique, but the song itself is simple, catchy, and has a strong band feel.

It’s more intense than usual, with some shout parts, and I’m sure it’ll get the crowd going live.

Personally, it gave me a similar impression to KILLER TUNE.

It might not be for everyone, but if you like KILLER TUNE, I think you’ll definitely like this track.

BIRTHDAYsutoreitenaa31rank/position

STRAIGHTENER – BIRTHDAY -LIVE Ver.-

Beginning with a tense scene of a stormy night, where lightning seems to tear through the darkness, this piece portrays the moment of “rebirth” that lies beyond suffering and inner conflict.

It’s like the instant you steel yourself at a crossroads in life.

Its dramatic sound—woven from stillness and flashes of light—resonates deeply in the heart.

Released in March 2007, the song is known as a track that colors the band’s mid-period.

If you listen to it while standing at a turning point in life, searching for light amid uncertainty, it may stir a quiet courage within you.

It’s a song that gently stays close to a lonely heart and gives you the strength to take a step forward—perhaps like a protective charm.

BLACK EYEDsutoreitenaa32rank/position

Straightener – BLACK DYED

A track with a downer vibe and technical sound that stands out as a curveball within their catalog.

It was chosen as the ending theme for the overseas drama “PERSON of INTEREST” (aired on the NTV network in Japan) and is one of the signature songs from the 2013 release Resplendent.

In particular, Hidetsuka Hinata’s (aka Hinacchi) technical bass lines are immensely satisfying to listen to.

Black Holesutoreitenaa33rank/position

Straightener – Black Hole

This song was released after Jun Oyama joined Straightener, which had previously been a three-piece band, marking their first work as a four-piece.

With the addition of a fourth member, the sound gained greater richness and depth, and their already outstanding performance ability elevated the track to a new level.

Boy Friendsutoreitenaa34rank/position

Boy Friend

When it comes to songs that gently keep you company on lonely nights, “Boy Friend” comes to mind.

Released in 2018 by Straightener, a band that has led the Japanese rock scene since the 2000s, it features a striking band sound with guitars colored by tremolo and reverb.

The lyrics express the joy and gratitude of meeting a loved one, perfectly matching the subtly wistful tone of the track.

Its airy melody unfolds at a medium tempo and resonates deeply with the heart.

How about listening to it while gazing at the nighttime cityscape?

CLONEsutoreitenaa35rank/position

Straightener – CLONE

It is the title track of their 11th double A-side single, which marked the beginning of their 2010.

Combining beauty and intensity, the song features a synthesizer-driven arrangement like its predecessor “Lightning,” yet introduces new changes, resulting in a work distinguished by its grandeur.

It was also selected as the theme song for the film “The Shock Labyrinth 3D,” becoming the first movie tie-in of their career.
