Whiteberry Popular Song Ranking [2026]

They are a girls’ band that made their major debut in 1999 and rose to fame thanks to the huge hit “Natsu Matsuri.” It has become a classic summer song, and I think many people of all ages are familiar with it.

In addition to these, they have many other popular songs, which I will introduce in a ranking.

Whiteberry Popular Song Ranking [2026]

A summer festival night spent with the person you like, dressed in a yukata.

You enjoyed goldfish scooping and cotton candy, yet felt the frustration of not being able to confess your feelings as you watched sparklers burn out.

Depicting a bittersweet youth anyone can relate to, this work is the third single by Whiteberry, released in August 2000.

Their reinterpretation of JITTERIN’JINN’s classic became a cover hit, reaching No.

3 on the Oricon charts and achieving an astonishing 630,000 sales.

It was also used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Fushigi na Hanashi” and earned them an appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a quintessential summer number that touches the heart—perfect for dusk as summer draws to a close, or for reminiscing about your youth with friends.

If you’re looking for a track that captures both the warmth of spring and a touch of bittersweet feeling, check out the single WHITEBERRY released in April 2001.

It was their first single with both lyrics and music written by the band members themselves, imprinting the unfiltered sensibilities of their teenage years directly into the sound.

Featured in a commercial for Asahi Soft Drinks’ Mitsuya Cider, the song peaked at No.

16 on the Oricon weekly chart and is also included on the album “Chameleon.” The lyrics—perfect for the milestone of graduation—evoke the exhilaration of stepping into a new place as you walk down cherry blossom-lined streets, layered with a tender affection for the memories you carry in your heart.

Its brisk band sound and refreshing melody leave a poignant afterglow that tightens your chest once the song ends.

Highly recommended if you want to wrap up a graduation live set on a bright yet subtly wistful note.

This song is memorable for its poignant melody that echoes through a snowy landscape.

The lyrics depict winter scenes and the feelings of first love, and while it’s pop, the bittersweet tone really resonates.

Released in December 1999 as Whiteberry’s debut single, it was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!” It also appeared in commercials for Hiroshima Center Street, making it beloved by a wide audience.

If it’s played at a ski resort or on the slopes, it’s sure to warm your heart.

It’s the perfect BGM for gliding through a silver-white world.

Why not enjoy some winter sports accompanied by Whiteberry’s refreshingly clear vocals?

Whiteberry is famous for their song ‘Natsu Matsuri,’ but this track—depicting love from a woman’s perspective—is also a must-listen.

It portrays, in various expressions, the desire to stay as tender and dependent as in childhood, and the wish to always have someone by your side, making it a song many can relate to.

In 2000, the girl band Whiteberry scored a huge hit with Natsu Matsuri, a cover of a JITTERIN’JINN song.

It’s a pop number that blends a rocking band sound with cute vocals.

Even though it’s a first-ever, just-the-two-of-us date at a summer festival, the bittersweet ache of not being able to say the two characters of “suki” (I like you) is irresistible—a perfect slice of youthful sweet-and-sour.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing again as an adult, reminiscing about that awkward summer.

Spring Love SongWhiteberry6rank/position

Released in June 2004, this song is included as a video piece on Whiteberry’s PV collection “Videoberry final ~ the all the Clips of Whiteberry.” Unfortunately, due to the band’s hiatus, it was neither released as a single nor included on an album.

It’s a mutual-love song depicting a couple who start dating after realizing their feelings for each other, expressing how they gradually cultivate mutual respect and strengthen their bond.
