🎧 From newcomers lighting up the airwaves to seasoned icons reclaiming their crowns, this week’s Japanese Radio Airplay Top 100 is a dazzling rollercoaster of sound! Buckle up as we take you through the highlights — from #100 all the way to that coveted #1 spot… 💥
🔥 Fresh Entries & Rising Stars
The chart welcomes a vibrant mix of brand-new tracks that are already making waves. 🎉
From MISAMO’s sleek and stylish “MESSAGE”, to the mysterious charm of 離婚伝説’s “愛が一層メロウ”, and the hypnotic allure of STUTS feat. Kohjiya & Hana Hope with “99 Steps”, the freshness is real.
International icons like Rosé (“Messy”), PinkPantheress (“STATESIDE”), and Don Toliver feat. Doja Cat (“Lose My Mind”) are also stepping in with bold new sounds — proving the global influence is stronger than ever 🌍🎶.
🌈 The International Vibes
Global stars continue to charm Japanese listeners.
Ed Sheeran, a chart darling, makes not one but two appearances — the romantic “Azizam” and the nostalgic “Old Phone” both resonate deeply 📱❤️.
HAIM dazzles with both “Relationships” and “Down To Be Wrong”, while James Bay teams up with Sheryl Crow for the heartfelt “You And Me Time”.
Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and Ariana Grande bring their usual sparkle, while Lorde, OneRepublic, Calvin Harris, and Wet Leg all add international flair that Japan can’t stop spinning 🎧✨.
🇯🇵 The Power of J-Pop & J-Rock
Japan’s beloved acts are shining as bright as ever 🌟.
Mrs. GREEN APPLE gives us both the ethereal “天国” and the vibrant “クスシキ”, while back number’s “ブルーアンバー” continues its smooth climb.
Aimer, YOASOBI, imase, Ado, 藤井 風, Hana, and Vaundy are painting the airwaves with a spectrum of sounds — from dreamy pop to edgy alt-rock to funky R&B.
Meanwhile, the legendary Southern All Stars and quirky-pop veterans RIP SLYME prove they’re still crowd favorites.
🎤 Powerful Female Voices
This week celebrates some of the most compelling women in music.
MISIA’s soulful “LOVE NEVER DIES” gives us goosebumps, while nishina’s debut “weekly” is beautifully intimate.
Ariana, PinkPantheress, Lizzo, Lady Gaga, and Rosé represent global femininity at its fiercest, while Hikaru Utada’s emotional “Mine or Yours” makes a stunning leap into the Top 3 — a majestic return by one of Japan’s most iconic voices 💖.
🎸 Bands & Collaborations That Pop
Duos and groups really bring the heat this week 🔥.
King Gnu’s explosive “TWILIGHT!!!” drops from the top but remains a commanding force, while RADWIMPS‘ “賜物” and BE:FIRST’s “夢中” keep the group energy high.
Not to mention the dynamic Maroon 5 feat. Lisa, with “Priceless” — a stunning East-meets-West collab that’s already climbing fast!
🏆 And Finally… The Crowned Champion
After slowly climbing the chart with quiet determination and unmistakable charm…
✨Gen Hoshino (星野源) claims the #1 spot this week with his luminous hit “Star”! ✨
