Ulfuls Popular Song Ranking [2026] (21–30)

Wonderful WorldUrufuruzu22rank/position

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 ContinuesUrufuruzu23rank/position

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.

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, 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.

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!
