UA's Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

UA is a versatile vocalist who incorporates jazz and world/ethnic music.

Lately, seeing her eldest son, Nijiro Murakami, appearing on TV and in commercials makes me feel how quickly time passes.

Here, we present a ranking of some of her popular songs.

UA’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)

UA’s “Watashi no Yan” evokes a gentle nighttime scene where a baby has just been born.

The song was originally by singer-songwriter Tavito Nanao, and UA covered it on her 2010 cover album KABA.

UA’s tender voice soothes like a soft swaddling blanket around a newborn.

The lyrics, which sing of the joy of birth gently and quietly yet with passionate warmth, portray exactly what many mothers feel.

Even strangers—please rejoice in the birth of my child who has come into this world! You can feel the mother’s overflowing joy for her baby.

This commercial featuring UA is for the R2, a kei car.

It shows UA buying a picture book at a bookstore and then reading it with a child by the riverside.

It highlights that the car is perfect for everyday use like shopping, as well as for short outings.

The BGM in this commercial is “Suna on the Skirt,” sung by UA.

With its steelpan sound and tropical vibe, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to sway along.

This commercial shows friends and families spending warm, wonderful moments together.

It portrays irreplaceable time each of them shares—and Calpis is right there beside them.

Watching it may have brought back precious memories for many of you.

The song playing over these heartwarming visuals is “Lovely,” a signature track released by Kenji Ozawa in 1994.

For this CM, a cover version by UA has been used.

It’s even more mellow and warm than the original, making it irresistibly captivating.

People boarding the Shinkansen to head to all kinds of event venues—music concerts, comedy shows, baseball games—are shown alongside the charged atmosphere at those venues.

The commercial conveys the message that they’re not just going to a venue or a gathering; they’re going to meet someone.

It’s a lovely expression that makes you feel as if the distance between you and your favorite performer has suddenly grown much smaller.

The background music is an instrumental brass arrangement of UA’s “Ai ni Ikou” (Let’s Go Meet).

Its flowing melody really sticks in your head after just one listen.

UA is a Japanese female singer who has been active since 1995.

Many of her songs are based on R&B, rock, and jazz.

“Taiyo Te ni Tsuki wa Kokoro no Ryote ni” was used as a commercial song for AZUL by moussy.

Her distinctive singing voice is very captivating.

This is an R2 commercial that aired in 2004.

In the first half, we see UA looking out from a balcony; in the second half, she stands with a red R2 against a backdrop of trees in a park.

It’s a simple spot with only UA’s monologue—“I can go anywhere, that’s why I’m here”—and a narration introducing the R2, yet it leaves a strangely memorable impact.

The BGM is her song “Bōga” performed a cappella.

It’s a track with a unique atmosphere that transcends genres, so I recommend listening to the full song.

UA captivates listeners with her unique worldview, and this song’s lyrics are incredibly beautiful—poignant, quietly moving, and enough to bring you to tears.

As you listen, it makes you genuinely feel that we should cherish not only people, but also nature and the Earth.
