How about some anime songs that can lift your spirits? This is the opening theme of the anime Kemono Friends, which became a huge hit almost immediately after it aired in 2017.
It’s sung by the voice cast, with lyrics and composition by Masayoshi Oishi, who is also active as a singer.
The way the song keeps building one section after another alone is enough to get you pumped! As you listen, you’ll find yourself wanting to sing along.
I highly recommend enjoying it together with the anime itself.
