Despite being released in 1985, this classic song is still loved by many.

It’s a track that truly symbolizes youth.
flameLiSA
The hugely popular anime series Demon Slayer has captivated audiences from young children to adults.
This song by LiSA was chosen as the theme for its film adaptation, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train.
Released in 2020, it won the Grand Prize at the 62nd Japan Record Awards.
It’s a grand ballad whose soul-stirring vocals are deeply moving, aligning perfectly with the film’s emotional story.
The piece conveys a strong resolve to embrace all the sorrow and pain of losing someone dear and to carry the feelings entrusted to us into the future.
If you’ve seen the movie, the worldview expressed in the lyrics will resonate deeply.
It’s a message song that gives you the courage to face forward after overcoming a painful farewell.

An up-tempo track with ringing guitar tunes.
As you listen to the unified chorus sung by the members, memories with close friends come flooding back.
It’s a song from the popular anime NARUTO.
The groove in the latter half’s guitar solo makes your body move along, and it’s a tune that sticks in your head even after it’s over.
Bluebirdikimonogakari
A powerful melody and uplifting lyrics that resonate in your heart—this is a song by Ikimono-gakari.
Released in July 2008 as the opening theme for the popular anime Naruto, its lyrics liken the longing for freedom and the challenge of entering a new world to a bird taking flight.
They carry a strong desire to break free from restraints and soar into the wide-open sky.
Listening to this track will fill you with the courage to overcome any obstacle.
It’s a must-hear for anyone about to dive into a new environment or striving toward their dreams.
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornCreepy Nuts
This is a track by the hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts that sparked a worldwide dance-challenge craze on social media.
It was written as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “Mashle: Magic and Muscles,” the Divine Visionary Candidate Selection Exam arc.
The way the protagonist overturns the norms of the magic world using nothing but his own muscles is elevated into lyrics that mirror R-Shitei’s own life story—it’s the kind of thing that really fires you up.
Over an inventive track crafted by DJ Matsunaga, this song repeats spell-like phrases, making it incredibly addictive.
The explosive momentum is clear from the fact that the anime’s OP video, released in January 2024, surpassed 10 million views in just two weeks.
Belt out the chorus with your friends at karaoke and you’re guaranteed an absolute blast.
lilacMrs. GREEN APPLE
It’s a classic Mrs.
GREEN APPLE track—an exhilarating, back-to-basics guitar rock number that packs in the sparkle and bittersweetness of youth.
Released in April 2024, the song colored the story as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oblivion Battery.” Its powerful message—let’s love even our past pains and imperfect selves and keep moving forward—resonates deeply with the tale of protagonists who have lost their memories and regain their shine.
It’s easy to see why it won the Grand Prize at the 66th Japan Record Awards.
A charm-like pop tune that gently gives you a push when you’re feeling a little timid at the start of a new season.
Moonlight LegendDALI
It’s the theme song of the national, era-defining ’90s anime Sailor Moon.
I imagine many girls listened to this song and felt inspired.
