Top 20 FujiTV drama theme songs as chosen by 10,000 people

FujiTV's variety programme "Kono sekai wa 1derful" aired a top 20 ranking of FujiTV drama theme songs as chosen by 10,000 people on 17 April 2025. 
  • The dramas' titles are reflected within the brackets. 
  • The links lead to music videos or live performances of the theme songs.
  • The years when the dramas were aired are reflected at the end of each line.
What is clear from this ranking:
  • FujiTV's golden age for its dramas were indeed the 90s - the top 10 were all from this era.
  • The most "recent" entry in this ranking was already 3 years ago.
  • Seems like the dramas from the past 2 years haven't left as much of an impact on viewers unlike some from decades ago which are still remembered fondly.

I think Love generation should have been in this list. The song by Cagnet is truly heart-stirring and impactful.

Well, if based on the criteria that only the main theme is to be selected for this survey, I think the Cagnet song wouldn't have qualified for inclusion since the official theme for Love Generation was "Shiawase na ketsumatsu". Likewise for Long Vacation, there were quite a number of good songs too but they probably wouldn't have made the cut for this particular survey.

Yeah, I agree with your point. Long Vacation had an amazing OST.
