[Anisong × Rock] A Compilation of Anime Songs Performed by Rock Bands (61–70)
Flame (FIRE)joōbachi
Weren’t you surprised by Dororo’s opening theme? According to Avu-chan from Queen Bee, they thought, “When I saw Dororo, I thought it was cute.” Queen Bee often makes distinctive, quirky songs, and having the sensibility to call an anime filled with eerie yokai “cute” is impressive, isn’t it? Rather than making the anime purely grim, it seems they crafted a song that captivates you right from the opening.
I’m in awe of the sensibility that doesn’t reduce Osamu Tezuka’s Dororo to something merely scary!
Mononoke in the Fictionuso to kamereon
The band Uso to Chameleon has released numerous energetic, highly addictive guitar rock numbers.
Their songs carry a hint of darkness yet are incredibly catchy—the kind of sound you can’t escape once you’ve heard it.
They rose to wider recognition with the 2016 music video for “Saredo Kijutsushi wa Sai wo Furu.” The video “Mononoke in the Fiction” is an original song written for the anime In/Spectre and serves as its opening theme.
GreyFOMARE
FOMARE is a Japanese rock band from Takasaki, Gunma.
The trio consists of vocalist-bassist Shinsuke Amada, guitarist-vocalist Ryoga Kamata, and drummer-vocalist Yuta Ogura.
“Grey” is an original song written as the opening theme for Season 3 of the anime Golden Kamuy, and it also marks their major-label debut.
Its melody carries a sense of aching poignancy amid a driving pace that’s sure to stir your heart.
The song’s mood—where masculine coolness intersects with inner conflict—leaves a strong impression.
Cry BabyOfisharu Higedan Dism
This is the fifth digital single by Official HIGE DANDism, a band that now leads the J-pop scene.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Tokyo Revengers, the track rides a shuffle beat with a rock sound that pumps up the energy.
Even with its thrilling structure that rapidly shifts keys, it never loses the band’s trademark pop sensibility and catchiness, showcasing their impeccable musical balance and taste.
With arrangements that superbly mirror the anime’s emotional temperature, this song reveals a new side of Official HIGE DANDism.

The rock band that performed the ending theme for the anime 3D Kanojo: Real Girl, based on Mao Nanami’s manga, is Fujifabric.
Their hallmark is high-quality musicianship that, while highly proficient, distills every element into a pop sensibility.
Their approachable, catchy sound captivates not only rock fans but the general public as well.
They have continued to create numerous classic songs, including Galaxy, Youth of Everyone, Tsurezure Monochrome, and Small World.
Koi-kogaremilet×MAN WITH A MISSION
Koikogare, an extraordinary collaboration that’s making waves, brings together milet—known for her powerful, beautiful vocals—and MAN WITH A MISSION, the band famous for their wolf heads and human bodies.
The track was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Swordsmith Village Arc.
Their distinctive voices fuse to elevate the song even further, sparking a new kind of chemistry.
Be sure to listen closely to the lyrics and vocals, which tie in with the world of Demon Slayer.
They also handled the opening theme, so don’t miss that either!
Shout BabyRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai, affectionately known as Ryokushaka, has garnered wide popularity.
Their 2020 release “Shout Baby” was used as the ending theme for the anime My Hero Academia.
Vocalist Haruko Nagaya’s voice—combining delicacy with power—stands out, supported by a warm, pop-infused rock sound.
Even when you overcome one weakness, another anxiety comes crashing in, leaving you unsure what to do.
Still, for the future you’ve envisioned, you want to cry out with all your might and grow.
That strong resolve is woven into the song.
