THE ALFEE Love Songs & Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]
Lovers’ PavementTHE ALFEE1rank/position
This song was released in 1984.
The previous year’s hit “Mary Ann” featured bassist Ken Sakurai as the lead vocalist, but on this track Toshihiko Takamizawa returns to lead vocals, making full use of his high register.
Since it was used in a chocolate commercial, many of you have probably heard it.
The luxurious piano intro fits Takamizawa’s image and voice perfectly and leaves a strong impression.
It remains a masterpiece that stands the test of time.
Distance of the Starry SkyTHE ALFEE2rank/position
When it comes to songs that evoke a starry sky, isn’t The Alfee’s “Hoshizora no Distance” the first that comes to mind? Released in 1984 as The Alfee’s 17th single, it’s one of their signature tracks, peaking at No.
2 on the Oricon chart.
The chorus—one of The Alfee’s strengths—is richly layered and incredibly powerful.
This song, which sings of love blazing under the starry sky, is perfect for Tanabata, when Orihime and Hikoboshi meet just once a year.
With its up-tempo, rock-driven sound, it’s also a great choice for your karaoke repertoire!
Heartless Love XTHE ALFEE3rank/position
A track included on THE ALFEE’s 2015 album “Trinity.” Set in a melodic metal style, the song brims with speed while the switch-vocal delivery explodes with drama.
In these lyrics, the parts are sung separately by a woman and a man—a technique only THE ALFEE could pull off.
Listen while imagining two lovers drowning in a forbidden affair.
A love song for youTHE ALFEE4rank/position
It’s a grand, moving ballad.
The song is by THE ALFEE, a rock band that has remained at the forefront of Japan’s music scene for many years, and it was released in 2017 as their 66th single.
It sings of pure love—the wish to stay with the one you love forever.
Perhaps it suits an adult couple even more.
Mary AnnTHE ALFEE5rank/position
A classic youth anthem that beautifully fuses bittersweet romance with an energetic rock sound.
Released in June 1983, this track became THE ALFEE’s first major hit, reaching No.
7 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and No.

Riding this success, the band made their first appearance at the 34th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen at the end of 1983.

With romantic lyrics woven together in perfect balance with hard rock, this piece is a must-listen for anyone cherishing a secret love.
COMPLEX BLUE – Only Love Is Too SadTHE ALFEE6rank/position
This sings of a woman’s sorrow after parting from the man she loves.
He has another partner, and their relationship is forbidden.
She understands that, but she can’t help loving him deeply.
The two love each other profoundly, yet they have no choice but to part.
It’s unbearably painful, but because it’s an affair and they can’t be together openly, she has to give up…
