Anime Love Song Special [Heart-Fluttering & Tearjerkers]

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Anime spans many genres, but romance stories are definitely one of the classics.

And you could even say there are just as many love songs as there are shows.

Even when the main plot isn’t a love story, the opening or ending theme might be a love song.

In any case, there are tons—an absolutely staggering number—of anime love songs.

This article rounds up those masterpieces.

Whether you’re in love right now or feeling down after a breakup, we’ve got recommendations for you.

I want to shout that I love you.BAAD

I want to shout that I love you – BAAD (Full)

I want to shout that I love you BAAD

It was used as the opening theme for the anime SLAM DUNK, which centers on high school basketball.

Since the story is mostly about basketball, there’s very little romance.

However, if you think of the characters as being in love with basketball, it may resonate just as deeply with many people who devote themselves to something.

The lyrics express a passionate, straightforward feeling: loving someone so much that you can’t wait to become a couple with them.

It’s a sentiment anyone with an unrequited crush has probably felt.
