Takahara Pistol Popular Song Ranking [2026]

Old Rookie Takahara Pistol

What Gamba Osaka’s Takashi Usami is listening to is “Old Rookie” by singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara.

When you keep doing one thing you’ve decided on for a long time, you eventually get bored with the present and start indulging in nostalgia for the past.

Takehara’s view is that when that happens, people stop growing.

The song also carries the message that your constant opponent is yourself, that it’s important to strive toward the future so you won’t lose to who you’ve been up to now.

It might be the perfect song to listen to when you catch yourself thinking, “Every day feels the same.”

Takahara Pistol – “Amazing Grace” (Live Ver.)

Takeyama Pistol is a folk singer whose resonant vocals and musical style have earned him the love of many.

He’s well known for his uplifting anthems, but his gentle personality also shines through in his softer songs, which are equally popular.

Among them, the track I especially recommend is “Amazing Grace.” Created in response to the death of someone who had cared for him, who passed away from cancer, it features tender yet sorrowful lyrics that strike straight to the heart.

Be sure to give it a listen.

Count to tenTakehara Pisutoru11rank/position

Count 10 (Pistol Takehara)

A song whose persuasiveness comes precisely because it’s by Pistol Takehara, who clawed his way up to the majors.

You keep taking things head-on and trying again and again, only to fail… If days like that continue, anyone would feel close to breaking.

Drawing on his own experience with boxing, Takehara likens it to a fight against oneself.

When you’re knocked down, others do the counting for a while—but only at ten do you decide for yourself to stand up.

Listening to Pistol Takehara’s powerful singing makes you want to believe in that strength within you.

You’ll be fine—let’s expand the possibilities within ourselves!

Ah. There are moments that pass in a flash (acoustic version)

This is a comedic commercial portraying office worker Hajime Ueda, played by Eita Nagayama, going to the gym, and from there conveying the relationship between Vitality and adidas.

Upon arriving at the gym, Ueda changes into adidas gear, and the surprise of him being in head-to-toe adidas is narrated by regular gym-goer Shohei Nagata.

The reason is that with Vitality, you can get adidas at special prices, effectively highlighting the value of Vitality.

Further amplifying the lively mood of the footage is Pistol Takehara’s song “Ah.

There Are Moments That Fly By.” Its light sound paired with a powerful vocal gives a sense of forward momentum.

It seems this song was born from a series of misfortunes that happened around Pistols Takehara himself.

His true forte lies in weaving sadness into humor, drawing listeners into a unique world that makes them laugh and cry.

At first it makes you think, “Is this a funny song?” but it goes on to sing about a very sorrowful, hopeless absurdity.

ON THE ROADTakehara Pisutoru14rank/position

Takeyama Pistol – ON THE ROAD (Live Short Ver.)

A man admired by men: Pistol Takehara.

With just a guitar, the way he sings so passionately is incredibly powerful and cool.

I can’t help but think how amazing it would feel to belt out his songs like that.

Even without a deep voice like his, if you sing with feeling, I’m sure you can deliver a great song!
