TUBE Love Songs and Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

TUBE, an artist synonymous with Japanese summers and even called a hallmark of the season.

When they debuted, they were produced by Daikō Nagato and had stylish city pop songs, but once the members began writing and composing themselves, they introduced tear-jerking melodies that evoke Japanese nostalgia, giving their music a grittier, more flavorful depth.

I hope you’ll compare and listen through this ranking.
