Heisei-era songs that are popular on YouTube Shorts

It’s quite common for older songs to become hits again on social media and YouTube.

So this time, we’re introducing a selection of Heisei-era songs that are hugely popular on YouTube Shorts!

Thanks in part to channels like THE FIRST TAKE on YouTube, Heisei hits are reaching younger generations and finding new success.

Many artists who were active in the Heisei period have also resumed their activities, leading to numerous revival hits for various reasons.

I hope this helps you discover new tracks or brings back some nostalgic memories.
