Latest J-Pop Releases [July 2025]

Happy Lucky Chappyano

ano “Happy Lucky Chappy” × Anime ‘Guilt of Tacopi’ Collaboration Music Video

This is a piece specially written by ano as the opening theme for the anime “Guilty of Tacopii.” Despite its bouncy, poppy melody, the lyrics sing of pain, loneliness, and a sharp defiance toward society.

The sensation of a “colorless world,” which ano says she personally experienced, is projected onto the song, and the gap with the bright tune only serves to highlight the earnestness of the cry.

If you listen to it while burdened by an inescapable sense of stagnation, its powerful message will likely pierce you, as if speaking on your heart’s behalf.
