Popular Japanese songs among women in their 20s. A collection of masterpieces that are great to listen to and great to sing (11–20)
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism, popular among women in their 20s for their many love songs and empowering anthems, released “Mixed Nuts” in 2022, which was chosen as the opening theme for the hit anime SPY×FAMILY.
It kicks off with a bustling, attention-grabbing sound and sweeps you along with its high-speed momentum, steadily capturing your heart.
Since it was written specifically for the anime, the lyrics are especially stirring for fans.
It’s a captivating track that makes you want to watch the anime when you hear it—and makes you want to listen to the song when you watch the anime.
EnchantedSaucy Dog
Saucy Dog’s “Enchanted” is a song that captures the feeling that simply having someone special by your side lets you keep going, no matter what.
Released in 2022, it was chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s original dating show “Koisuru♡Shuumatsu Homestay 2022 Spring.” The lyrics, which say it’s like magic how just hearing a loved one’s voice can blow away all the day’s troubles and stress, are heart-fluttering.
It’s a track I’d recommend to women in their 20s as a magical pick‑me‑up when they’re feeling tired.
yellowback number
A song released in 2021 by back number, unrivaled when it comes to writing unrequited love songs.
It was chosen as the theme song for the ABEMA original show “Koi to Ookami ni wa Damasarenai” (Don’t Be Fooled by the Wolf).
This poignant love song portrays the feelings of a protagonist who struggles with an unreachable crush while trying to suppress their emotions.
The lyrics are written without specifying gender, allowing people in various situations to relate.
Be sure to consider the meaning behind the title “Yellow”!
whoaYuuri
“Wo,” a track released in 2022 by Yuuri, who rose to popularity after the hit song “Dry Flower.” Although Yuuri is strongly associated with love songs, this one feels like it blows away the anxieties and haze we feel as we go through life.
It depicts the resolve to cast off all the unnecessary noise from the sidelines, the parts of ourselves that overthink everything, and to live true to oneself.
For women in their twenties who’ve just entered the workforce and are facing many uncertainties, it will surely give you courage!
ComedyHoshino Gen
A song by Gen Hoshino written around the theme of family as the ending theme for the anime SPY×FAMILY.
Released digitally in 2022, it reached No.
1 on the Billboard Japan and Oricon charts! While depicting the painful feelings everyone hides behind their fun, it also sings about the joy found in those everyday moments.
It’s a track that shines with Gen Hoshino’s sensibility: despite its strong message, it somehow feels gentle and effortless to listen to.
A Place for the Soulmakaroni enpitsu
On those tough days when you just feel like throwing everything away, I recommend “Tamáshii no Ibasho” by Macaroni Enpitsu.
Released in 2022, the song was used in a Nissan commercial, and the version featuring Takako Matsu—who appears in the ad—plays in the CM.
When life piles on the hardships and both your body and soul feel worn down, it’s easy to start wondering who you even are.
This exhilarating track sings, “If it’s going to wear down my soul, then I might as well break free from everything I hate!” If you’re a woman in your 20s giving your all every day, why not hit reset and feel refreshed with this song?
