Anime Love Song Special [Heart-Fluttering & Tearjerkers]

GravityBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN「Gravity」

It’s a moving number that sings, “Even if we’re separated, you’ll be in my heart.” Created by the rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, known for numerous hits like “Tentai Kansoku,” the song was released in 2020 as their 25th single, “Acacia/Gravity.” It serves as the theme song for the animated film Love Me, Love Me Not.

Perhaps thanks to its relaxed rhythm and the timbre of the strings, it feels truly grand in scale.

As you keep listening, you may find yourself in tears before you know it—it’s that much of a heart-wrenching masterpiece.

Love Song of the Rocket FireworkChiba Shigeru, Shiratori Yuri

Love Song of the Rocket Firework

A character image song for Kazuma Kuwabara and Yukina from Yu Yu Hakusho.

It portrays Kuwabara’s uncontrollable, pure passion for Yukina—before meeting her, he spent his days brawling.

It’s a song that makes you want to root for Kuwabara’s love, even though things haven’t developed into romance and Yukina gently brushes him off.

HOMEToki Asako

Asako Toki / “HOME” Music Video

It’s a perfect number for when you want to spend a relaxed, unhurried time, singing that the place I return to is where you are.

The song is by Asako Toki, a singer who’s also active as a narrator, and it was chosen as the opening theme for season 2 of the anime Fruits Basket, based on a shoujo manga.

The vocals and melody gently seep into your heart—truly lovely.

Although the song’s theme is “family” and “home,” it can also be taken as a love song.

It makes you want to go—to return—to the place where your special someone is.

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime “Kiss Him, Not Me.” The series is a so-called reverse harem, and the song is performed by the unit formed by the four voice actors who play the boys who like the heroine: Yuki Ono, Keisuke Komoto, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and Nobunaga Shimazaki.

Their handsome voices are a must-hear.

The ending theme song of Crayon Shin-chan.

It’s a soothing ballad with a dreamy, very gentle, slow melody that pairs perfectly with a whispery vocal.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to under a night sky filled with beautiful stars.

It’s the ending theme of the anime BLEACH.

It’s a poignant song that sings, “If I could, I’d do it over—turn back time,” but the husky vocals and guitar sound keep it from feeling too heavy, making it very easy to listen to.

It’s a song I want to hear during the season when fresh green leaves begin to sprout from the cherry blossoms.
