The Peanuts Popular Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)

Young SeasonZa Pīnattsu15rank/position

This is a classic whose cool, refreshing harmony woven by twin sisters gently seeps into the heart.

It’s also known for lyrics penned by Rokusūke Ei, which vividly capture the dazzling brightness of youth and the delicate stirrings of love that sway with the changing seasons.

Released as a record in January 1963, the song reached a wide audience as the theme for a hugely popular NHK TV drama and a Toho film.

For those who watched the drama with rapt attention, the moment the intro plays, the scenes of that time surely come rushing back in vivid detail.

With a slightly sophisticated, jazz-tinged sound, it’s the perfect track to savor on a summer afternoon, alongside your most cherished memories.

That was the Fifteen Summer Festival (Suku-Suku Ondo)Za Pīnattsu16rank/position

Let me introduce a masterpiece that blends the bustle of summer festivals with a sudden, bittersweet pang of nostalgia.

It’s a single released by The Peanuts in August 1961.

With a rhythm reminiscent of festival music and the twins’ perfectly synchronized, beautiful harmonies layered on top, it has a refined charm that sets it apart from a typical festival song.

The lyrics vividly portray scenes from a summer at fifteen—hearts fluttering in twisted headbands and yukata, memories of sweet Nikke candies—awakening in listeners the bygone days of their youth.

The track is included on the album “The Peanuts Sings Yasushi Miyagawa” and the live album “Monument / The Peanuts Last Live!” If you want to feel the excitement of a summer festival, or if you’re in the mood to reminisce on a summer evening, listening to it will surely resonate with your heart.

I hope everyone who loves the atmosphere of summer in Japan will enjoy it!
