ZARD Popular Song Ranking [2026]

TODAY IS ANOTHER DAYZARD29rank/position

WEZARD TV #15 Today is another day

This is a song used in the popular anime YAWARA, and it also became the album’s title track.

Among the tracks on the album, it left a particularly strong impression on me as a grand piece—so much so that I felt it could have worked as a single.

It resonates beautifully in the morning, and I often listen to it before heading out to work.

When I feel like seeing youZARD30rank/position

Bouquet: When I feel like I want to see you…

ZARD “Kimi ni Aitaku Nattara……” This song is filled with the determination to stay positive: “I’m sure I’ll see you again.

I believe that strongly, and I’ll use that as my sustenance to give it my all today and tomorrow.

I’m not yet someone who can easily go see you, but if I can become someone who can go see you someday, I want us to meet properly again then.”

TAK MATSUMOTO featuring ZARD / Stranger

It was released in 2003 as a collaboration single between Tak Matsumoto of B’z and Izumi Sakai of ZARD.

Although it is a cover of Saki Kubota’s “Ihoujin,” the track is packed with Tak Matsumoto’s guitar technique.

It became ZARD’s final collaboration single.

Your refreshing feelings

This commercial conveys that 8×4 is perfect for the hot summer, helping keep sweat under control and supporting comfortable days.

It depicts Aya Ueto and her friends enjoying summer events, and their smiles lasting until the end communicate that their comfort is maintained.

The song that further highlights the fun and the refreshing, youthful atmosphere portrayed in the visuals is ZARD’s “Sawayaka na Kimi no Kimochi.” Its buoyant rhythm layered with powerful guitar tones evokes a refreshing feeling of sprinting full-speed through youth.

Izumi Sakai’s clear, expansive vocals are also a key point that emphasizes that refreshing vibe.

Love Is Invisible / ZARD cover [MiO]

A track that lets you feel the cool side of ZARD’s Izumi Sakai.

While ZARD often gives the impression of gentle, mellow songs, this one comes together as a cool rock number.

The lyrics are about a breakup with a lover, yet the feeling that “I’m the only one who can love you the most and make you the happiest” is a common emotion at the end of a relationship.

What makes it evoke a cool, strong woman is the melody that frames these lyrics in a bold light and Sakai’s passionate vocals.

Rather than “I love you more” in a plaintive sense, it’s more like, with a touch of swagger, “I’m the one who loves you more!” That subtle difference in nuance is what gives this song its strength.

The theme song of “Sporut!” It starts with a piano accompaniment, and just as it builds, the band comes in and the groove shifts into a relaxed, side-to-side swaying rhythm—that transition is especially memorable.

In the final chorus, it modulates, pushing the excitement to its peak.

The interlude also features a saxophone solo, which is super cool.
