Autumn anime songs: iconic tracks for the deepening fall

Life is short—dream, young maiden.Gārisshu Nanbā

TV anime Girlish Number ED theme 'Ima wa Michikashi Yumemiyo Otome' (Girlish Number) preview video

This song was used as the ending theme for the anime Girlish Number.

It’s sung by the voice cast and was released in 2016.

It’s a very bright, uplifting anthem that fills you with energy when you listen.

The lively sound, with horn section phrases that feel great, is really fun too.

When it comes to major fall events, there’s the school sports day and athletic festival—this would be the perfect uptempo tune for their BGM.

If you’re thinking of making this an active autumn, definitely give it a try.
