sumika Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)

It’s included on the double A-side single “Negai / Higher Ground,” released on December 11, 2019, and was written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama Ossan’s Love -in the sky-.
The overall vocal range of the song is A2–A4.
While there are high notes, you don’t need to belt them; using falsetto is fine.
The tempo isn’t too fast either, so it should be comfortable to sing.
For the low notes in the first verse, make sure to use plenty of breath and push the sound forward so it resonates without sounding muffled.
Since the melody gradually rises toward the chorus, keeping your facial muscles lifted and singing with a bright tone will help you switch into the higher register smoothly.

One of sumika’s signature songs, it’s a big crowd-pleaser at live shows and perfect for everyone to sing along! The overall vocal range is F3 to C#5, and it modulates up for the last chorus.
Since it has a fresh, upbeat feel, keeping a bright tone will help you hit the high notes and make it to the end comfortably.
Because it’s a band sound, be sure to listen closely to the drums and lock into the groove.
Also, sounds in the “na” row can be harder to articulate because they tend to be nasal.
Since every hook starts with “ne,” try bringing your energy up more than you think—you’ll project better and find it easier to sing!
one’s true feelingssumika3rank/position

It was written as the cheer song for the 99th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament, and it’s a gentle, ballad-like piece that makes it easy to pour your emotions into.
Its hallmark is lyrics that convey gratitude and honest feelings, so it might be nice to sing while picturing someone who comes to mind for you.
The A and B verses sit in a relatively calm range, while the chorus has sections to sing more strongly, so be careful not to strain your voice.
Place a hand on your chest and sing while resonating there; that resonance will boost your projection.
Rather than simply getting louder, focus on resonance as you sing!

This is a song by sumika that tightens the chest with a bittersweet regret, like the end of summer.
Born from songwriter and composer Kenta Kataoka’s real-life experience, the piece overlays the frustration of a relationship that ended without saying what needed to be said onto the image of fizzing soda that pops and disappears.
The memories of ordinary days in which emotions were never even thrown at each other serve as a compelling touch that further highlights the song’s poignancy.
Included on the mini-album “I co Y,” released in November 2014.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you find yourself feeling a sudden loneliness while reminiscing about fun summer memories.
