the HIATUS Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
Clonethe HIATUS15rank/position

This one is lighter and easier to listen to than “Horse Riding.” Is it West Coast-style? The drums are finely accented, giving it a sense of drive, and overall the song has a very refreshing feel.
As the title suggests, the MV shows what seems to be the protagonist appearing as two people.
On Your Way Homethe HIATUS16rank/position

Starting with smooth, gentle vocals, this song maintains a refreshing feel throughout.
It’s a track brimming with Takeshi Hosomi’s warmth, offering a soothing listening experience.
The choral work is also beautiful and compelling.
The lyrics, so characteristic of Hosomi, are another highlight to watch for.
Radiothe HIATUS17rank/position

This is a track included on the 5th album, “Hands Of Gravity.” It feels like a comforting song, almost like listening to a Western ballad.
My impression is that it’s a very beautiful and simple song.
Silver Birchthe HIATUS18rank/position

This is a track included on the 1st album, “Trash We’d Love.” As expected, the gentle vocals are wonderful.
I think this song is full of hope.
Isn’t it a song that can make you feel positive and aim even higher instead of settling for the status quo?
Sunset Off The Coastlinethe HIATUS19rank/position

This is a track from the album “Keeper Of The Flame,” released in 2014 by the band the HIATUS, formed around Takeshi Hosomi, who is also known as the vocalist of the rock band ELLEGARDEN.
The sound, reminiscent of traditional instruments, evokes a hint of a tropical sunset.
The Ivythe HIATUS20rank/position

This is a track included on the 2nd album, “ANORMALY.” Takeshi Hosomi’s compositions are mostly in English, and this one is composed entirely of English lyrics as well.
The title “The ivy” means “tsuta” (ivy) in Japanese.
The song weaves in words that evoke the image of someone with a hint of sadness.
It’s a very intriguing piece in terms of how it relates to its title.

Walking Like A Manthe HIATUS21rank/position

This is one of the tracks included on the second album, “ANORMALY.” The lyric “I’m walking like a man” — meaning “I’m walking like an ordinary person” — also sounds to me like a declaration of not wanting to become that way.
