Duet Songs of Anime Themes and Character Songs (71–80)
Recommendation of School ChaosHiro Shimono, Emiri Kato
This is the song “Recommendation of School Chaos” from the anime Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts Ni!.
It’s a wonderful track featuring male–female vocal harmonies and a lively, piano-driven arrangement.
It’s a somewhat nostalgic number that evokes 80s pop.
Just listening to it is sure to lift your spirits!
A Wanderer Lost in Time and SpaceHis Excellency Demon × Arika Takarano (ALI PROJECT)
A collaboration between Demon Kakka, the vocalist of the band Seikima-II, and Arika Takarano of ALI PROJECT! It’s the opening theme for the anime “The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me?”.
It was released as a single in 2020.
As expected from these two, their flawless vocal skills are on full display! The song has an enduring appeal that makes you want to keep listening.
Its grand symphonic metal style perfectly matches their image.
The lyrics are a bit wistful, prompting reflection on life.
ALIVEClariS
The song that drew attention as the opening theme for the anime Lycoris Recoil is ALIVE.
It’s performed by the female duo ClariS.
The track features a driving melody inspired by the anime’s story and captivating, beautiful harmonies.
They also performed it on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, so many people may have discovered it there.
Since there are many alternating vocal parts, try singing it with a close friend.
It’s also recommended to use the ALIVE LycoReco Version, which was featured in the anime’s final episode, as a reference.
ABC gymnasticsCool Big Brother (VO: Mamoru Miyano), Song Big Sister (VO: Nana Mizuki)
This is the opening theme of the anime “Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan,” which uses educational TV shows as a motif to depict the raw, everyday lives of adults with a comedic twist.
It’s a duet by Mamoru Miyano, who plays the cool onii-san in the series, and Nana Mizuki, who plays the singing onee-san.
One of the fun points is how their vocal prowess is so impressive that you’d hardly believe it’s the theme song of a gag anime.
While the sound has a cheerful vibe reminiscent of a kids’ program, the lyrics weave in words that hint at the darker sides of adulthood, creating a deliberate contrast that makes the piece especially compelling.
KoisekaiClariS
The anime Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence portrays the romantic relationship between a saint and a priest.
Its opening theme is Koi Sekai.
The song is by the duo ClariS and expresses the budding feelings of the two protagonists.
It features musical-style elements, including parts that sound like spoken lines, which make it especially engaging.
The catchy choreography performed by the duo in the music video is also appealing—simple and easy to imitate.
Gradation feat. Yuho KitazawaKANA-BOON
The rock band KANA-BOON.
Their collaboration featuring Yuuho Kitazawa of the peggies is “Gradation feat.
Yuuho Kitazawa.” It serves as the opening theme for the anime My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999.
The song comically yet poignantly portrays the exchange between a boy and a girl who are drawn to each other.
Pay attention as well to what kind of scene the “gradation” in the title is meant to evoke.
Peace Pose with Friends (Male Ver.)Popuko (CV: Jun Ōsuga), Pipimi (CV: Hiroki Takahashi)
What is this melody that, once you hear it, you just can’t get it out of your head? It’s the ending theme of the second season of the anime Pop Team Epic, which became a hot topic for its eccentric and surreal gags and its unprecedented structure of using the same footage for parts A and B while only changing the main voice actors.
The song is performed by the protagonists Popuko and Pipimi, but since the voice actors change every episode, there are as many versions of the song as there are episodes.
So be sure to look for your favorite version!
