WANIMA Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

A Gift Without a StampWANIMA22rank/position

Kitte No Nai Okurimono

WANIMA covered this classic song, themed around the feelings embedded in everyday words like “thank you” and “good job,” with their own distinctive sound.

Originally a warm message song crafted by Kazuo Zaitsu in 1977, WANIMA reimagined it with ska and doo-wop elements, giving it a lively, rhythmic feel.

Included on their single “JUICE UP!!” released in August 2016, the track also gained attention as the song for Recruit’s Car Sensor commercial.

It was performed at their 2017 solo concert at Saitama Super Arena and has since become a key song that fosters a strong sense of unity with the audience.

Kokokara

This is the opening track from WANIMA’s first album, “Are You Coming?”, released in November 2015.

It’s packed tightly with their signature energy of setting out.

Without hiding anxiety or weakness, it carries a warm message: even while holding onto those feelings, just try taking the first step.

It tells you that you don’t need any grand resolve—when times are tough, just laugh it off—gently reaching the hearts of those who feel suffocated by the pursuit of perfection.

If you want to start something new but lack the courage, or you’re a bit worn out by daily life, give it a listen and let it give you strength.

MONGOL800 × WANIMA “Ai Miyabi” Official Music Video

A gem of a duet infused with sincerity and deep affection.

Released in June 2022 by MONGOL800 and WANIMA, the work embodies the musical affinity and friendship between the two bands.

The lyrics weave together gentle Okinawan landscapes with urban scenes, expressing a powerful desire to connect hearts beyond the physical distance from loved ones.

The track is included on a split EP featuring five songs, alongside energetic activities such as filming a music video in Okinawa and a nationwide tour.

Its warm message—that hearts remain connected even when far apart—invites listeners to reaffirm their bonds with one another.

WANIMA -TRACE (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

It’s a song that gently weaves together down-to-earth emotions—the resolve to keep moving forward, step by step, even while carrying wounds you can’t tell anyone about.

It’s a track from WANIMA, a three-piece band from Kumamoto Prefecture, included on their first single “Think That…,” released in August 2015, and it was also used as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s program Premier MelodiX!.

The music video was filmed at an elevation of about 2,800 meters in Hakuba, Nagano Prefecture; the grueling process of hauling equipment up the mountain mirrors the song’s lyrical theme of “leaving footprints.” Rather than giving a flashy push from behind, it’s striking for quietly singing about the presence of someone who stays by your side in hard times.

It’s a perfect song for those facing graduation and the sorrow of parting from friends, or for anyone who wants to express gratitude to the people who have supported each other up to now.

WANIMA “Human” Official Music Video

WANIMA’s “Human” is a song that portrays people facing mistakes and challenges.

It sings about the journey of searching for one’s place and meaning in life, as if speaking directly to the hearts of students.

Released as a digital-only single in October 2017, it was chosen as the theme song for the drama “Keiji Yugami.” With WANIMA’s signature bright and powerful sound, it’s sure to fire up any school festival! Link arms with the friends you planned the event with and listen together—it’ll make for the best memories.

WANIMA 'Even When We're Apart' OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

Hanarete Itemo (Even When We’re Apart), included on the single Chopped Grill Chicken released in 20221, is a track well known among fans as the song that closed out WANIMA’s 2021 live tour.

True to WANIMA’s style and rich in message, it’s, as the title suggests, a perfect fit for farewell moments.

It might be nice to sing it for someone you’ll be separated from for various reasons—graduation, a job transfer, moving, and so on.

There aren’t many high notes; try powering through the song while keeping its brisk pace intact.
