Undergraf Popular Song Rankings [2026]

This is a ranking of popular songs by Under Graph, a three-piece rock band from Osaka.

The band name means “creating music that gives shape to the joys and sorrows deep within, beneath the surface.” Living up to that meaning, they have donated their royalties to the Japan Committee for Vaccines for the World’s Children, and vocalist Naoto Madohara is also active as a producer.

Undergraf Popular Song Rankings [2026]

Undergraf is a band that burst onto the scene like a comet during the 2000s Japanese rock boom.

Their signature is rock infused with a slightly kayōkyoku-like, traditional Japanese flavor, and Tsubasa stands out as one of their most popular songs.

The piece exudes a decadent atmosphere, with the vocal line kept in a minor key throughout.

The vocal range is essentially mid1 F to mid2 G—quite a narrow span that almost any male singer can handle—but there’s a single hi A that appears in the final chorus, so be sure not to miss the pitch there.

Do that, and you should be able to go for a 90 without much trouble.

It’s a bittersweet love song about looking up at fireworks with someone special, quietly wishing “may this last forever” even while holding a vague sense of unease.

The track is by Under Graph, a rock band also known for their hit “Tsubasa,” and it’s included on their 2005 mini-album Harmony to Zero.

From a calm, quiet intro, it builds toward the chorus in a deeply emotional way, stirring your heart.

It might really hit you if you listen to it in the summer, especially when you’re feeling lonely.

Their third single, which gained huge popularity with the classic graduation song “Tsubasa.” This release, their first in eight months, was sold in two versions—the regular edition and the limited first-press edition, a first for them.

While the coupling track usually has a tie-in, this one unusually has none.

It’s a heartwarming song by Under Graph that, when sung at a New Year’s gathering, lets everyone present exchange smiles and greetings for the year ahead.

The lyrics carry the year-end atmosphere and the anticipation for a new beginning, with a chorus that rings out like a New Year’s greeting itself.

With Japanese tones and a gentle melody, it vividly portrays quintessential New Year scenes—going back to one’s hometown and reuniting with old friends.

Released in December 2012, the song was included on the following year’s album “7 + one ~Oto no Irodori~.” Sing it at karaoke, and you’re sure to create a special moment where everyone prays together for happiness in the year to come.

Included on the 2009 album “We Who Were Born in This Place Are Always Thinking About What We Can Do.” A three-piece rock band from Osaka Prefecture formed in 1999.

Built on a gentle rhythm, their songs with a British rock vibe settle comfortably into the heart.

A hidden masterpiece by Under Graph, a band with a unique melodic sensibility.

I’d love for you to sing it on a rainy day—and to your wife or partner.

Its uniqueness makes it tricky at first, but with practice you’ll surely be able to sing it.

The flow from the finale into the chorus is unbelievably pleasant.
