Ulfuls Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Banzai ~ I’m glad I loved you ~Urufuruzu21rank/position

"Banzai ~Glad I Fell in Love~" by Ulfuls – Guitar Solo Vocal Cover

The lyrics start off with a shout, but the chords are cool and the rhythm moves along nicely, making it a song you can play with lots of energy.

Since Tortoise Matsumoto from Ulfuls has such a cool image, I’d like to broaden my range someday and try playing it on electric guitar too.

On acoustic, I think you can capture the vibe by holding the chords and strumming straight through.

Wonderful WorldUrufuruzu22rank/position

Ulfuls Wonderful World

A highly recommended cover with unique Japanese lyrics is Ulfuls’ “Wonderful World.” The original is a soul classic released by Sam Cooke in 1960 and one of his signature songs.

Ulfuls’ Tortoise Matsumoto has been greatly influenced by soul music, and his powerful, soulful vocals are truly captivating.

This version starts with the original lyrics, but partway through it shifts to distinctive lyrics written by Tortoise in English, characterized by clever rhymes.

Be sure to compare it with the original English lyrics as you listen!

Z's Theme Continues

The funk band Ulfuls’ “The Theme of Zokukeruzu” is a song that conveys the spirit and soul of a veteran band that has continued to lead the Japanese band scene.

Even as they get older, their band sound loses none of its drive—it’s absolutely top-notch—and this 2019 track is another funk number bursting with even more energy.

Ulfuls Valentine Special Live

A love ballad by the rock band Ulfuls, led by Tortoise Matsumoto.

Performed with an acoustic arrangement, the song captivates with its delicate guitar tones and the gentle yet heartrending world evoked by vocalist Tortoise Matsumoto’s husky voice.

The feelings of heartbreak are expressed simply and directly, piercing the listener’s heart.

Ulfuls “This and That, That’s How It Is!”

Ulfuls, known for having many songs that give you energy and courage.

When you think of Ulfuls, “Guts Da Ze!” might come to mind, but I also highly recommend the song “A-Da-Ko-Da So-Da.” It’s a track that gives you a nudge in true Ulfuls style while gently encouraging a more relaxed mindset—a song that helps you let your shoulders drop.

Let’s do our best without overdoing it.

Ulfuls – Kawaii Hito (Cute Person)

Speaking of May, there’s Mother’s Day, isn’t there? The 1997 single “Kawaii Hito” is a song themed around mothers, with the Wulfuls’ signature style in full swing! From the very first beat of the intro, it lifts your spirits and puts you in a great mood—such a cute track.

It happily sings a son’s gratitude to his mother, and the blend of the Wulfuls’ heartwarming, human touch with their rock ’n’ roll band sound is a perfect match.

That cozy, feel-good vibe also seems perfect for the moment you give a gift!

This is a rare song by Ulfuls that brings back the faint memories of youth and makes you feel warm just by listening to it.

The pleasant sound and Tortoise Matsumoto’s bright voice blend beautifully, making it thoroughly satisfying to hear.

I tried playing and singing Wolfals – Yaburekabure.

It’s a hidden, exhilarating rock track by Ulfuls.

The striking lyrics and Toru ‘Tortoise’ Matsumoto’s powerful vocals are a perfect match, making it a song that lifts your spirits just by listening.

It’s a recommended tune for when you’re tired, feeling down, or can’t move forward.

HeroUrufuruzu29rank/position

Ulfuls “Hero”

Among Ulfuls’ songs, this one stands out with a dazzling sound and an inspiring hero vibe.

It’s the lead track from ONE MIND, their first album in six and a half years after resuming activities.

Chosen as the theme song for the drama Detective 110kg, it carries a sense of justice.

Ulfuls’ characteristically straightforward lyrics resonate even more through Tortoise Matsumoto’s soulful vocals.

Infused with a burning desire to pursue the soul that wells up from within and one’s inner ideals, the song itself makes you feel that it is a “hero.”

Ulfuls 'Rockin' Frozen-Shoulder Boogie Lumbago'

This is the best song from the current, in-progress version of Ulfuls, where you can enjoy both the song title and the elaborately crafted, amusing video clip.

It’s also a disco-style dance number, so just listening to it will make you want to dance.

The track feels extremely good as well, showcasing a refined sense of craftsmanship.
