Anpanman Songs: List of Theme Songs, Insert Songs, and Character Tunes (61–70)
Akachanman’s Adventuredoriimingu
Among the Anpanman characters, he’s one of the most human-like.
Despite the name “Akachanman” (Baby Man), he shows a brave and strong heart, with a responsible, reliable side.
He wasn’t originally an Anpanman character; he was the main character of another work by Takashi Yanase.
True to Akachanman’s nature, his theme song has an uplifting, dependable, and encouraging tone.
Jin jin jindoriimingu
There are actually many songs that can be called Anpanman Christmas songs, but among them, this track sung by Dreaming is quite unique.
Rather than an overly bright and cheerful Christmas vibe, it features a slightly moody, Nordic feel, along with rhythmic lyrics that create a distinct world.
It’s also catchy enough that you might find yourself humming it if you let your guard down.
Hora, Hora, Horakodoriimingu
The theme song of “Hora Horako,” who looks just like Horror-man and appears in the companion animated short released alongside the 2007 film.
With its playful piano melody, it’s an irresistibly fun tune.
Horako is the Horror Prince’s younger sister and the daughter of the Little Mermaid.
That surprising bit of lore might catch you off guard, but this cute theme song is guaranteed to clear your head—perfect for a good laugh and a good time.
Wish Upon a Star (2018 Summer Samba Version)doriimingu
This is an arranged version of a fan favorite, “Hoshi ni Inoru” (“Praying to the Stars”).
The original is a moving ballad sung tenderly, evoking a winter night sky and Christmas.
In contrast, this one boldly transforms it into a lively summer samba arrangement with a fun, sunny beat.
Even so, the lyrics and parts of the arrangement still evoke winter, making it a rather unique track.
Run! SL-mandoriimingu
The SL Man theme song, “Run! SL Man.” It’s a fast-paced track that conjures up an image of a locomotive racing across the wilderness.
It would work well as BGM for events like a sports day relay or performances with a train motif.
The song starts off with high energy, and singing the chorus is sure to give you a boost.
The song Bacta is waiting forBatako-san (Sakuma Rei)
It’s a heartwarming song filled with Batako-san’s kindness.
The lyrics capture the image of waiting for Anpanman and the gentle compassion of comforting those who are tired.
With lyrics by Takashi Yanase and music by Michel Kama, it has been loved as a character song from “Soreike! Anpanman,” which began airing in October 1988.
Rei Sakuma’s warm vocals further highlight Batako-san’s gentle nature.
It’s a wonderful piece that soothes not only children but also adults.
Listening to it when you’re tired or waiting for someone will warm your heart.
Panna’s Punchmeronpanna (kanai mika)
This is “Panna’s Punch,” the theme song of everyone’s favorite Melonpanna-chan.
The singing voice is just as adorable as Melonpanna-chan in the anime.
The song expresses her girlish cuteness while also conveying her strength as a heroine.
It’s a track beloved by children.
