ZARD Popular Song Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Spread your wingsZARD50rank/position

The 44th single Wings to Fly, released as a double A-side with In the Dark of Love, was used as the theme song for the animated film Detective Conan: Full Score of Fear and is also known as a cover of a song originally provided to DEEN.
Its tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing, but the melody features many subtle rises and falls, so it’s easy to go off pitch and requires care.
The overall vocal range isn’t very wide, so be sure to grasp the melodic movement thoroughly before singing it at karaoke.

You’re overflowing in me to the point it hurts.ZARD51rank/position
This was ZARD’s 30th single, released in 1999, and it was used as the song for the Nescafé Moment commercial.
The track’s rap-like style is somewhat unusual for ZARD.
Its refreshing vocals make it a perfect commercial song for waking up in the morning.
Forever YouZARD52rank/position

This song is characterized by heartfelt lyrics and a warm melody.
It’s a track included on ZARD’s sixth album, “forever you,” released in March 1995.
The lyrics, based on Izumi Sakai’s real-life experiences, have resonated with many people.
Reflecting on one’s younger self and expressing gratitude to those around you, it strikes a deep chord when listened to at life’s turning points.
In September 2022, it was also used as the theme song for the film “Princess Diana.” It’s a perfect piece for anyone standing at a crossroads in life or seeking emotional cleansing.
I still rememberZARD53rank/position

A gentle farewell only makes it all the more painful…
“I still remember,” the seventh track on ZARD’s fifth album OH MY LOVE, released on June 4, 1994.
The relaxed, tender sound that closely embraces the vocals and lyrics unfolds into a fragile expanse of emotion in the latter half, and the voice—so straight and pure it almost hurts—resonates deeply in the heart.
It’s a heartrending ballad that portrays the feelings of two people who, while looking back on two years together, set off on separate paths.
Perhaps kindness is something that lingers.
Take me to your dreamZARD54rank/position

A translucent ZARD ballad where the chill of a winter night intersects with the exhilaration of the New Year.
Originally included in December 1994 as the B-side to their 13th single “Anata o Kanji-te Itai,” this roughly five-minute, pleasantly mid-tempo masterpiece builds gently and quietly.
City nightscapes and apartment scenes unfold alongside the words “Happy New Year,” and hopes for the year ahead are carefully woven in Izumi Sakai’s tender, ear-pleasing lyrics.
Later featured on the album “ZARD BLEND II ~LEAF & SNOW~,” it has continued to be cherished as part of a winter selection.
It’s perfect for spending a calm stretch from New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day, or for choosing a heartwarming track at gatherings with relatives and friends!
Don’t forget that smile.ZARD55rank/position

A timeless ZARD classic, cherished across generations for its translucent vocals and words that resonate with the heart.
Izumi Sakai’s gentle, warm voice echoes as if staying close to the listener’s heart.
Included on the album “HOLD ME,” released in September 1992, it was later used as a TV drama theme song in 1993.
It’s a song that gives you the courage to move forward while cherishing beautiful memories of the past.
When you’re worn out by the noise of the city or feel like you’re losing yourself, please listen to this song.
It will surely warm your heart and fill you with hope for tomorrow.
