Anime and Character Song Duets (31–40)
Into the DreamAtsuko Enomoto, Chihiro Suzuki
Many people probably know the classic song “Yume no Naka e,” written and composed by Yosui Inoue, whether through Inoue himself or Yuki Saito’s rendition.
But did you know it was once used as an anime song? In 1998, it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “His and Her Circumstances” (directed by Hideaki Anno, famous for works like Evangelion), and it was performed by Atsuko Enomoto and Chihiro Suzuki, who played the main characters.
Beyond the song’s excellence, the freshness of their vocals is also very appealing.
Key to the HeartMira Gotoji (VA: Maaya Uchida), Takumi Miyasaka (VA: Soma Saito)
This piece, which colors the ending of Astronōto, is a refreshing duet song performed by Maaya Uchida as Mira Gotokuji and Soma Saito as Takumi Miyasaka.
The sprightly melody woven by their voices and the dreamy arrangement that evokes a starry sky leave a strong impression.
With lyrics themed around space and romance, it perfectly matches the worldview of the anime—a sci-fi romantic comedy depicting the mysterious daily lives of an alien landlord and the residents.
Released digitally in April 2024, this track is recommended not only for anime fans but also for those who enjoy pop and love songs.
It also sounds like it would be fun to sing at karaoke.
LionMay’n / Megumi Nakajima
When it comes to iconic female duets, you can’t leave out “Lion” sung by May’n and Megumi Nakajima! The song was used as the opening theme for the anime Macross Frontier and was released in 2008.
In the anime, May’n performs the singing voice for Sheryl Nome, while Megumi Nakajima plays Ranka Lee.
Composer Yoko Kanno has said she crafted the song with the idea that, despite the love triangle, there’s a sense of solidarity and empathy budding between the two.
Beyond their back-and-forth interplay, the powerful unison and harmonies are a major draw of this track.
Just like in the anime, it’s also great to sing this as a duet between two “rivals”!
What`s up guys?Shinnosuke Furumoto, Megumi Hayashibara
The powerful vocal performances are incredibly captivating.
It’s the opening theme of the anime “Sorcerer Hunters.” Megumi Hayashibara and Shinnosuke Furumoto’s beautiful voices are simply outstanding, and the soaring notes are absolutely overwhelming to hear.
It’s a feel-good classic.
Love Is an Explosion (feat. Yukari Tamura)Masayoshi Oishi
This is a duet song by Masayoshi Oishi and voice actress Yukari Tamura, written as the opening theme for the anime “Love After World Domination.” The sound, which evokes the taste of classic hero songs, is striking and seems mindful of the story about a romance between a righteous hero and a member of an evil organization.
It’s a track that weaves heroism and love throughout, with the compelling blend of Oishi’s vocals that convey the strength of a hero and Tamura’s sweet voice that expresses the feeling of love.
Duet Songs from Anime and Character Songs (41–50)
Please, MuscleHibiki Sakura (CV: Ai Fairouz) & Naruzo Machio (CV: Kaito Ishikawa)
It might be better described as a call-and-response than a duet song.
It’s a funky number used as the opening theme for the anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?”, sung by Ai Fairouz and Kaito Ishikawa, who voice the characters.
Since the work is themed around muscles and strength training, the lyrics are packed with muscle-related terminology.
It’s a track that’s fun to listen to and fun to sing yourself, overflowing with humor from start to finish.
AndanteClariS
Andante is an ambitious work that fuses ClariS’s distinctive worldview with a fresh musical style.
Its melody, infused with Irish sounds, invites listeners into scenes that make you want to set off on a journey.
The song was selected as the ending theme for the anime Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF.
The lyrics, which depict irreplaceable moments in everyday life, convey the joy of walking alongside someone dear.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to with a friend or a loved one.
