Autumn anime songs: iconic tracks for the deepening fall

Secret StoryPurely Monster

Purely Monster "Secret Story" Music Clip Full Ver.

A song I especially want to recommend to students who are in love right now.

It’s the opening theme of the anime “I Want You to Make a Disgusted Face and Show Me Your Underwear” — actually, correction: the anime “My Sister, My Writer” (Japanese title: “Ore ga Suki nano wa Imouto dakedo Imouto ja nai”).

It’s a track by the idol group Purely Monster, released as their third single in 2018.

The sound, melody, vocals, and lyrics are all turned fully toward cuteness—no matter where you slice it, it’s adorable.

Autumn is packed with events like sports festivals, culture festivals, and Halloween.

Why not let this song give you a boost of courage to get closer to the person you like at just the right moment?

TV version 'Aooni: The Animation' promotional video

This is the ending theme of the TV anime “Ao Oni: The Animation,” based on the free horror game “Ao Oni,” which sparked a huge boom mainly online.

It was produced by Machigerita, a popular musician also known as a Vocaloid producer, and released in 2017.

It’s an upbeat track grounded in a metal sound that really amps you up as you listen.

Autumn means Halloween—if you want to dive into something spooky, be sure to check out this song, as well as the anime and the game.

Tei – because 【Music Video】 (TV anime “The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash” ending theme)

As an anisong that captures the feeling of autumn, I recommend songs by Ding.

This work is notable for its gentle, tender vocals and the sound of the harp.

Released in January 2024, it was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash.” Ding spent four months creating the track, and its structure is distinctive, with contrasting atmospheres in the first and second halves.

While grounded in her established musical style, it also ventures into new forms of expression.

Be sure to give it a careful listen!

Singer-songwriter Tei.

Not only does she have a beautiful singing voice, but her style of singing while accompanying herself on a mini harp has garnered a great deal of attention.

Tei wrote “Hitominaka” as the ending theme for the anime Tsurune: The Linking Shot.

It’s a song filled with hope and anticipation for the future, with the mini harp’s tones creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere.

I hope you’ll listen to it in a dreamlike state and let it heal you.

The cute singing voice matches the upbeat tune.

It’s a song by voice actress Shino Shimoji, released in 2016 as her debut single.

The positive lyrics are encouraging.

It’s the opening theme for the anime Stella no Mahou (Magic of Stella).

Anime Rainy Cocoa Season 3 Hawaii Arc starts airing in October! TOKYO MX / Sun TV ☆RAINY COCOA in Hawaii☆

It’s the opening theme of the TV anime “Ame-iro Cocoa.” The relaxed rhythm feels pleasant and refreshing.

It makes you picture a blue ocean.

The singer, Yugo Sato, is also a very popular musical theater actor.

GET!! Dream & DREAMSho Kagami

[AMV] [Handsome High School] [GET!! Dream & DREAM] (with lyrics)

This is the theme song of the anime “Gakuen Handsome,” which features lots of characters that make you want to crack jokes at them.

The surreal worldview really comes through.

The tune feels a bit like an old-school male idol song.
