Tatsuro Yamashita Popular Song Rankings [2026] (81–90)
BOMBERYamashita Tatsuro81rank/position
For a Tatsuro song, this track is unusually built around a hard-edged performance.
Matching the tone, the lyrics are also atypical—rather than the usual sweet love song, they have an epic, cinematic quality, as if watching a scene from a film.
The bass solo in the middle provides a nice accent and ties the whole piece together.

Its romantic and slightly wistful lyrics are captivating, and as background music for a party or a drive, it will make that special Christmas night even more romantic.
It has a unique charm precisely because it’s such a familiar song.

It’s a classic released under the Sugar Babe name, crafted by Tatsuro Yamashita.
The lyrics are striking, depicting the bustle of the city and people’s loneliness while also conveying a sense of warmth and hope that lives within it.
The sophisticated arrangement and soothing melody line captivate listeners and won’t let go.
It was released as a promotional disc by Elec Records in May 1975 and was later included on the album “SONGS.” It also appears on the live album “JOY – TATSURO YAMASHITA LIVE –,” making it a track where you can fully savor Yamashita’s live performance appeal.
It’s perfect for those moments when you’re walking through the city at night and feel like discovering life’s joys and bonds.
GuiltyYamashita Tatsuro85rank/position
I first came to know this song through Masayuki Suzuki’s version.
In Tatsuro Yamashita’s version, you can savor a different, more transparent kind of charm compared to Suzuki’s.
It’s strange how, despite the lyrics being a very sad story about an affair, that sadness seems to vanish when sung with this melody.
