With its memorable chorus lyrics, “Sousei no Aquarion” is a quintessential anime love song.

Even those not well-versed in anime have probably heard its chorus.

Give it a listen when you’re in love or missing your partner.

It’s also a great crowd-pleaser at karaoke—perfect for anime-only or love-song-only sessions.

How much do you love your partner or your crush? After listening to this song, you might feel like loving them with all your heart, just like in the lyrics.

It seems like it has to be you.Masayoshi Oishi

It seems like it has to be you.

A track sung under the name Masayoshi Oishi by Masayoshi Oishi, who also performed as the vocalist and guitarist of Sound Schedule.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun.

That feeling you have when you’re in love—where no matter what anyone says, you can’t accept anyone but the person you’ve fallen for—is a universal psychology, isn’t it? And the irresistible urge to see them, to know more about them, is a feeling anyone who’s experienced unrequited love can relate to.

This song sets those quintessential unrequited-love moments to a light, upbeat rhythm.

While unrequited love often brings on a sense of wistfulness, listening to this track will turn that feeling into something bright!

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime The Seven Deadly Sins.

The powerful, love-filled vocals hit you hard and shake your brain.

“Passion” is exactly the right word.

It’s a wonderful, classic-sounding song that evokes a touch of nostalgia and perfectly matches the anime’s adventurous fantasy storyline.

It’s the ending song of episode 6 of the anime “Mekakucity Actors.” It was originally released as a Vocaloid track, but it was rearranged for the anime adaptation.

It’s a cute anime song featuring a classic tsundere girl as the protagonist.

LiSA’s vocals are clear and beautiful.

Fluffy TimeSakuragaoka High School Light Music Club

Fuwa Fuwa Time (Time) K-On!

An insert song from the anime K-ON!, which is set in a high school light music club.

The cute call-and-response in the second half of the chorus is really memorable, isn’t it? The song likens the time spent with an unrequited crush to a fluffy, dreamlike experience.

It’s filled with all the feelings unique to one-sided love—heart-pounding excitement, bittersweetness, loneliness, and wishes.

And the girlish, cute vocals are so soothing to listen to! In the spoken-line section right before the final chorus, it puts into words the flustered inner cry of “What should I do?” that comes with having a crush.

Pride Revolution / CHiCO with HoneyWorks

It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Gintama° from the manga Gintama by Hideaki Sorachi, which also saw great success in its live-action adaptation.

It’s a track that showcases CHiCO’s cool and captivating vocals.

The lyrics depict someone facing tough challenges for the sake of someone important, offering encouragement to anyone with goals or dreams of their own.

While it’s not a straightforward pure-love song, its message—being able to fight because you’re there, standing up to protect you—is sure to resonate with everyone.

Masayoshi Yamazaki – “One more time, One more chance” MUSIC VIDEO [4K Quality]

This song was the theme for Masayoshi Yamazaki’s first starring film, The Moon and a Cabbage, and ten years after its release it was chosen as the theme song for Makoto Shinkai’s animated film 5 Centimeters per Second.

It sings of the sorrow and heartache of no longer being able to see a beloved person, and of the unwavering feelings that keep you thinking of them even after you’re apart.

It also matches the film’s story—two people who meet in elementary school are separated in junior high, and their loves and souls continue to wander—making it a moving, tear-jerking piece.
