Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s: A collection of classics that are great to listen to and great to sing (1–10)

EdisonSuiyōbi no Campanella

Wednesday Campanella’s “Edison,” which gained buzz thanks to dance videos on TikTok, was released for streaming in 2022 alongside “Maneki Neko.” The lyrics paint a unique picture that makes you imagine what Edison might be like if he lived today.

Dancing is all the rage on TikTok, but even in the modern era, Edison would probably prioritize invention above dancing or singing.

For busy women in their 20s, why not take a breather and give it a listen—maybe even try a little dance while you’re at it?

BE:FIRST is a Japanese artist group born from THE FIRST, a boy group discovery audition hosted by SKY-HI, the rapper from AAA.

This track is their second single.

Their bewitchingly high vocals—almost unbelievable for male singers—and top-tier dance skills overwhelm viewers.

Some listeners may have even gotten goosebumps the first time they heard it.

The song portrays the beginning of love with speedy, refreshing, and addictive lyrics!

If you call it loveUru

[Official] Uru “If You Call That Love” — Theme song for the TBS Sunday Theater drama “My Family”
If you call it loveUru

This is a song by Uru, whose high, husky voice carries a simple, transparent purity, dedicated to someone dear.

Released in 2022, it was also chosen as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “My Family.” Precisely because someone is precious and close to us, we can end up taking them for granted, or find the relationship changing as time passes.

This song reminds us anew of how important our loved ones are.

With straightforward lyrics sung carefully, word by word, it’s a song that everyone who has someone special should listen to.

Walkin' In My Lanemilet

Released by milet in 2022, this song was also chosen as the theme for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Yangotonaki Ichizoku.” It portrays a woman who, though nearly overcome by loneliness, keeps striving for her dreams and love, set to a refreshing sound.

A hallmark is its fast, almost hurried tempo that evokes the busyness of everyday life.

As a returnee from Canada, milet delivers a naturally flowing English lyricism, and the track fully showcases her alluring voice—low yet crystalline.

It sweetly expresses gratitude and love to a partner—now a boyfriend and soon-to-be spouse—who chose her, set to a comfortably upbeat rhythm.

It gained popularity among young women and became a hot topic, surpassing 60,000 posts on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

It’s a popular choice for background music when creating couple videos, lyric videos, and dance videos.

Because the sun will rise againRyokushokushakai

It’s a breezy, refreshing song that casually cheers on anyone giving their all! It was chosen as the theme song for the film “Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden.” Listening to Nagaya’s invigorating high vocals and the upbeat, incredibly bright lyrics can lift you up even on an off day! The clapping section in the middle naturally boosts your energy, too.

I highly recommend it to students working hard at club activities or studying, and to working adults giving their best!
