Asako Toki Popular Song Ranking [2026]

Gift ~You Are the Madonna~Toki Asako8rank/position

Asako Toki / Gift ~You Are the Madonna~

This is Asako Toki’s second single overall, released in September 2011.

She has a background as a jazz singer, and her vocal style clearly differs from that of a rock singer.

While she doesn’t belt out straightforward, piercing high notes, her soft high register—achieved through skillful shifts between falsetto and middle voice—is truly remarkable.

It’s also a recommended track for practicing falsetto and mixed voice.

High LineToki Asako9rank/position

High Line

Singer-songwriter Asako Toki is known for her wide-ranging work, from commercial songs to narration, and for frequent guest appearances on tracks by prominent artists like Quruli.

With a long career and a large catalog, her 2019 release “High Line” stands out for its superb sound.

While the melody and mood evoke city pop, the rhythm and timbres feel entirely fresh, reaching a pinnacle for a programmed track.

Whether this song qualifies as city pop is something I encourage you to interpret in your own way.

Toki Asako – Sentimental

A song by Asako Toki, the singer who is the daughter of jazz saxophonist Hideshi Toki and who made her debut as the lead vocalist of Cymbals, a band that unfortunately disbanded in 2003.

Featured on her 13th album, “Ranhansha Girl,” the track is marked by a relaxed beat, with an ear-catching piano and bass presence that feels satisfying.

Its mysterious atmosphere makes it perfect as background music for a calm, solitary day.

Cool yet pop-tinged, the arrangement is superb—an enchanting, mystical number.

Toki Asako – September

This is a song in which the powerful hit by Earth, Wind & Fire is arranged in a bossa nova style by the accomplished female singer Asako Toki.

While it maintains a rhythmic, rhyming flow, it becomes a soft and gentle piece thanks to Toki’s heartfelt vocals.

It’s a recommended track for the welcoming scene, setting the tone for a wonderful wedding reception.

Asako Toki / “HOME” Music Video

It’s a perfect number for when you want to spend a relaxed, unhurried time, singing that the place I return to is where you are.

The song is by Asako Toki, a singer who’s also active as a narrator, and it was chosen as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime Fruits Basket, based on a shoujo manga.

The vocals and melody gently seep into your heart—truly lovely.

Although the song’s theme is “family” and “home,” it can also be taken as a love song.

It makes you want to go—to return—to the place where your special someone is.

Mint Cherry CakeToki Asako13rank/position

Asako Toki / “Mint Cherry Cake” Lyric Video

Asako Toki is a female singer-songwriter with a jazz backbone.

She’s known for her wide-ranging musicality, from avant-garde jazz tunes to Black music centered on R&B.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is Mint Cherry Cake.

This track features a city-pop-like vibe, and while it’s upbeat, the vocal line stays composed within a relatively narrow range.

The pitch movement is gentle as well, so purely as a song, it’s not very difficult.

NEW YEAR NEW DAY

If you want to greet the quiet morning of the New Year with a touch of sophistication after the bustle of New Year’s Eve has faded, this one song by Asako Toki is perfect.

Through everyday scenes—like the calm streets still carrying the party’s afterglow or the gesture of removing makeup—it captures a gentle resolve for the year ahead.

Its understated, composed tone is ideal when you want to create a mature atmosphere at New Year gatherings.

Released in November 2011, it’s the closing track of the mini-album “sings the stories of 6 girls,” with Daisuke Kawaguchi’s refined arrangement beautifully expressing the feel of morning air.

Perfect for reunions or New Year parties when you want to share a serene, high-quality moment.
