Utada Hikaru Popular Song Rankings [2026] (21–30)
BAD modeUtada Hikaru21rank/position
The title track from Hikaru Utada’s bilingual album released in January 2022.
Its soft, city-pop-tinged synths feel soothing, drawing listeners into a world all her own.
The lyrics, which capture everyday moments and shifting emotions, delve deeply into relationships with lovers and cherished people.
You can feel the unwavering affection that persists through both good times and bad.
The song centers on Utada’s own growth and self-acceptance, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s great for relaxed listening and perfect as a driving soundtrack.
Enjoy it to your heart’s content.
Gold ~Until We Meet Again~Utada Hikaru22rank/position
This is Hikaru Utada’s 15th digital single, released in July 2023.
It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Kingdom: The Flame of Destiny.” Hikaru Utada, who performs this song, is a singer known for her beautifully subdued and composed vocal style, and I find her voice especially captivating when she sings melodies in the mid-to-low range.
In particular, this track I’m introducing here is centered around mid-to-low vocal lines, with hardly any parts that require high notes, making it one of the best choices for lower-voiced women to select for karaoke.
Throughout the entire song, focus on singing each word of the lyrics with care and precision.
Boukyaku featuring KOHHUtada Hikaru23rank/position
From the intro, it’s a song that evokes despair.
If you listen to it when you’re struggling, it will lead you even deeper into a world of sorrow.
When people experience great sadness, they forget even their happy memories.
The past is unnecessary.
It sings of such a sorrowful life.
“There isn’t always light beyond hardship,” and right now we are in the dark.
It’s a song that stays close to those going through such difficult times.
Can’t Wait ‘Til ChristmasUtada Hikaru24rank/position
When it comes to Hikaru Utada’s Christmas numbers, many people probably think of “Can’t Wait ’Til Christmas.” The song sits in an average vocal range, spanning roughly mid1 G to high C, though—as is typical for Utada—there are a few slightly lower passages.
That said, it doesn’t go too low, and the melodic movement is among the gentlest in her catalog, making it, overall, a very easy song to sing.
Deep RiverUtada Hikaru25rank/position
A song by singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, whose five years of human experience have notably broadened her expressive range and musicality.
It’s the title track of her third album, DEEP RIVER, and its superbly crafted oriental atmosphere is said to have been inspired by novelist Shusaku Endo’s Deep River.
With arrangements featuring the sitar and a hint of folk-music sensibility, it conjures images of traveling through foreign lands.
It’s a number that stirs a yearning for a different world from everyday life and makes you want to set off on a journey to somewhere far away.
Movin’ on without youUtada Hikaru26rank/position
This is Hikaru Utada’s second single, released in February 1999 while the shock of her debut had yet to fade.
Set to an up-tempo dance sound, the mature lyrical worldview—unbelievable for a 15-year-old—once again left the public in awe.
The lyrics depict a firm resolve to end a relationship and set out alone.
The faint sorrow that seeps through beneath that bold attitude is the part that tightens your chest.
The song was a lead single from the classic album First Love and became her first Oricon No.
1 hit.
It was also well known as a Nissan commercial song.
PINK BLOODUtada Hikaru27rank/position
This is a message song that teaches the importance of having a strong sense of self.
Created by the nationally beloved hit-making singer Hikaru Utada, it was released as a digital single in 2021 and chosen as the opening theme for the anime To Your Eternity.
Its deep sound arrangement, with hints of electronica, stokes anticipation for the story.
If you listen to it when you’re struggling with how to live or what to do with your life, it might just offer you a guiding light.
ElectricityUtada Hikaru28rank/position
It’s a track with an authentic electro, dance-beat-infused sound where the rhythm and the groove of the vocals are key.
It might seem difficult when you first listen, but once you get the feel for the rhythm, you’ll be fine.
By the way, it’s easier to catch the groove in this song by counting the off-beats rather than the usual downbeats.
Instead of counting “1, 2, 3, 4,” count “1-and-2-and-3-and-4,” where the “and” is the off-beat.
If you’re not used to it, you might gradually slip out of time, but try to work through that.
Also, the vocal range isn’t that high, so you can sing it lightly without bracing yourself.
At first, it’s fine to sing everything connected and flowing.
Definitely try to catch this groove and enjoy Hikaru Utada’s song!
ForevermoreUtada Hikaru29rank/position
Singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada, whose debut single instantly sold over two million copies and sent shockwaves through the J-pop scene at the time.
Her seventh digital-only single, “Forevermore,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Gomen, Aishiteru” (I’m Sorry, I Love You).
The lyrics, which convey a powerful love for a partner, are brimming with feelings strong enough to blow away petty arguments.
It’s a heartfelt number whose ensemble—featuring three-dimensional, richly layered strings—stirs the soul.
Goodbye HappinessUtada Hikaru30rank/position
A song by Hikaru Utada that portrays the resolve to say goodbye to days of past happiness and step forward as a new self.
Despite its upbeat dance sound, the lyrics bid farewell not only to loneliness but to happiness itself, conveying both the strength to accept the past and move toward the future, and the sadness that lies beneath.
Released in advance from the album “Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.
2” in November 2010, just before her hiatus, it was also featured in a commercial.
Even after going through a divorce and becoming single again, you may want to face your memories and take a strong step forward.
This is a song that gently gives a push to those who feel that way.
