TUBE Love Songs and Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

TUBE Love Songs and Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]
Last updated:

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.

TUBE Love Songs and Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

Remember MeTUBE1rank/position

When it comes to TUBE, they’re the quintessential band you want to listen to in the summer.

Norihiko Maeda’s refreshing yet passionate vocals really suit the season.

That said, this particular song might come across as a bit more understated.

Even so, since it was used in a diamond commercial, many people have probably heard it.

It’s a beautiful ballad that begins with a piano intro, and it reminds you just how captivating Maeda’s voice is.

The lyrics were written by Maeda, and the composition was done by Seiichiro Kuribayashi.

Goodbye, YesterdayTUBE2rank/position

It’s a single by TUBE released in 1991.

Despite its rather daring composition—pairing a cheerful Latin rhythm that hardly feels like a breakup song with roaring electric guitar and an enka-style melody—it’s a track that overflows with TUBE’s signature character.

When it comes to summer songs and summer bands, TUBE is practically synonymous with the season.

However, this isn’t a glitzy, sun-drenched summer tune—it’s a gentle love ballad.

Released in 2004 as TUBE’s 42nd single, this is the kind of song you’d want to dedicate to a girlfriend who has been by your side for a long time, sharing hardships and supporting you.

For men who have someone like that, this heartfelt number is likely to strike a chord—and might even give you the courage to propose.

Even though I like youTUBE7rank/position

I still like them, but their feelings for me have cooled… Some of you may have realized that and chosen to step back yourselves.

Even though you still care about the other person, choosing to part ways brings a heart-wrenching sadness.

This is a song I especially hope those who’ve had that experience will listen to.

Thank you, summer.TUBE10rank/position

When it comes to songs that express gratitude, the standard ones are usually directed at family or lovers, right? But TUBE’s “Natsu yo Arigatou” is different from any of those.

It conveys thanks and appreciation to summer itself.

As expected from TUBE, a band that represents summer! It’s a summer song—a thank-you song—that praises the season: because summer comes every year, we’re able to make wonderful memories and meet friends and lovers thanks to it.

Singing it at karaoke at the end of summer would definitely get everyone hyped!
