ZIGGY Popular Song Rankings [2026]

GLORIAZIGGY1rank/position

ZIGGY「GLORIA」

A dazzling rock ’n’ roll sound and an unforgettable, catchy melody make this a classic that pierces the heart.

It’s a number by the rock band ZIGGY, originally included on their 1988 album “HOT LIPS.” Later, it was chosen as the theme song for the 1989 Fuji TV drama “Dō-Kyū-Sei (Classmates),” re-released as a single, and became a huge hit.

The structure—starting with a plaintive opening and bursting free in the chorus—perfectly captures the restlessness and brilliance of youth.

And Jiichi Morishige’s overwhelming vocals, paired with the muscular sound, are sure to set listeners’ hearts ablaze.

I’M GETTIN’ BLUEZIGGY2rank/position

ZIGGY「I’M GETTIN’ BLUE」

ZIGGY is a rock band that has continued to captivate fans for many years with a glam rock-inspired look and a musical style that changes color with each album.

Their debut single, “I’M GETTIN’ BLUE,” which was used as the ending theme for the talk-variety show ‘Dō-suru!? TV Tackle,’ is known as one of ZIGGY’s signature songs alongside their simultaneously released second single, “GLORIA.” Its straightforward rock ensemble and catchy melodies offer an unfading charm that could be called the epitome of classic Japanese rock.

For those of that generation, it’s a cool rock tune you’ve probably sung many times at karaoke.

DON’T STOP BELIEVINGZIGGY3rank/position

DON’T STOP BELIEVING

ZIGGY is a band that greatly energized the rock scene of the 1980s.

Known for bright, powerful songs that embody classic rock ’n’ roll, they’ve released many tracks over the years.

Among ZIGGY’s songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is “DON’T STOP BELIEVING.” While the vocals aren’t particularly low, no part goes beyond the mid-range, and there aren’t many long sustained notes, making the vocal lines quite easy to sing.

Released in October 1987, this song is included on ZIGGY’s debut album “ZIGGY ~IN WITH THE TIMES~,” and is often regarded as their debut track because it appears as the first track on the album.

Their first single, however, was “I’M GETTIN’ BLUE,” a single cut from the album released in May 1988; on the same day, the new song “GLORIA” was also released.

The title “STEP BY STEP,” meaning to move forward one step at a time, matches the image of Detective Conan very well.

It was ZIGGY’s 11th single, released in March 1996.
