Tulip Karaoke Popular Song Ranking [2026]
Journey of the Heartchūrippu1rank/position
This is the song that you can’t help but hum during the season of departures.
It’s a signature work by Tulip, a band formed in Fukuoka Prefecture, and a classic released in April 1973 as their third single.
Its melody, which evokes the poignant feelings for a lover far away and the scene of setting off by train, truly resonates.
In fact, just before release, the lead vocal was changed from Kazuo Zaitsū to Tatsuya Himeno, and the structure was altered to start with the chorus—changes that led to a major hit, reaching No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
Beloved as a TV drama theme and in commercials, this piece has been cherished across generations.
As you reminisce about youthful journeys together, raise your voices and sing “Kokoro no Tabi.”
Shadows of Youthchūrippu2rank/position
A masterpiece whose gentle singing voice and delicate melodic lines resonate deeply with the heart.
The grand story, depicting profound love for a partner and the resolve to walk through life together from here on, is truly moving.
Seamlessly blending folk and pop, the song brings out the full musical appeal of Tulip.
Released as a single in June 1974 and also included on the album “Seishun no Kage,” it gained widespread support.
It has been covered by numerous artists and was used as an insert song in the drama “Under One Roof.” It’s the perfect track when you’re at a crossroads in life or want to look ahead with a calm mind.
Highly recommended as a heartwarming message song to listen to with someone special.
Cactus Flowerchūrippu3rank/position
A poignant love song themed around parting and renewal with a loved one.
Sparked by a small incident one day, the girlfriend storms out of the room; from there, the lyrics delicately depict the scene of the room left behind and the man’s inner feelings.
Gentle lines evoke everyday images—the snowy view from the window, a half-knitted glove, laundry—rising vividly to the mind.
Released in February 1975, this work is cherished by many fans as one of Tulip’s signature songs.
It drew renewed attention as the theme song for the 1993 TV drama “Under One Roof,” making it widely known among younger generations as well.
Its beautiful melody, conveying both the pain of heartbreak and a sense of hope, carries a universal message that resonates with the heart.
It’s the perfect song for looking back on a bygone romance or deepening your feelings for someone special.

During this era, Tulip also enjoyed very strong, enduring popularity, and especially Hineno, who handled vocals, stood out even more than Tazawa.
Their signature breakup song “Kokoro no Tabi” is similar in that respect: it’s uptempo, with a light, lively electric guitar sound, and its charm lies in the fact that it doesn’t quite sound like a breakup song.
Summer-colored Memorieschūrippu5rank/position
When you hear Tatsuya Himeno’s sweet, bittersweet singing voice, doesn’t a dazzling scene from a distant summer day come to mind? This work is also known as the first set of lyrics that the renowned lyricist Takashi Matsumoto wrote professionally.
Released as a single in October 1973, it came out following Tulip’s signature hit “Kokoro no Tabi” (A Journey of the Heart).
The pure feeling of wanting to become the wind and whisk away the one you love rides on a fast, exhilarating melody, and still shines with undimmed brilliance today.
It might be wonderful to spend a quiet moment immersed in precious memories, overlapping them with your own youth.
The Days of Rainbows and Sneakerschūrippu6rank/position
It is a classic song that leaves a strong impression with its delicate portrayal of youthful love and transience.
The scene of two people embracing in rain-soaked sweatshirts and the tender sentiment of cherishing a pair of sneakers are depicted with gentle warmth.
The lyrics symbolically express the disconnect between a man and a woman, a sudden farewell, and the immaturity of not yet being able to become an adult, all imbued with the bittersweet ache of youth.
Released in 1979 by Tulip, the song drew attention on TV programs such as The Best Ten and Yoru no Hit Studio, gaining popularity as a piece in which folk and pop are beautifully harmonized.
Kazuo Zaitsu’s warm vocals and the beautiful melody will surely comfort those who wish to heal the pain of heartbreak or look back on their cherished memories.
