Autumn anime songs: iconic tracks for the deepening fall

Love Autumn on a Moonlit NightMinami Chiaki (CV: Chihara Minori)

Tsukiyo ni Aishu

I’m drawn to the nostalgic atmosphere of this song.

It’s a character song from the anime Minami-ke Okaeri, sung by Minori Chihara, who plays Chiaki Minami.

It’s one of the tracks included on the mini-album Haru Natsu Aki Tojo!!, released in December 2008.

Its gentle tone, perfect for long autumn nights, seeps into the heart.

Listening to it puts me in a relaxed mood.

If you want to soothe a tired heart after busy days, please give it a listen.

Even hell’s judgment depends on you.Jigoku no Sata Ōruzutāzu

Even hell’s judgment depends on you.

I think once you hear it, it’ll stick in your head.

It’s the opening theme of the anime “Hozuki’s Coolheadedness,” sung by the characters who appear in the story.

With a lively, festival-like vibe, it’s incredibly catchy and puts you in a cheerful mood as you listen.

What’s more, even though it’s set in hell, the lyrics cheekily suggest that things depend on your own attitude, which is sure to make you smile.

I think it’s the perfect anime song for autumn events like Halloween!

It’s an image song from the anime “Magical Stage Fancy Lala.” It’s sung by Reiko Omori, who voiced the protagonist, and is included on the album “Lala’s Music Canvas page.II ~ Autumn Dream,” released in September 1998.

The lyrics beautifully portray the sweet-and-sour feelings of love swaying amid autumn scenery.

The pop arrangement blends a light, breezy feel with a touch of sentimentality, which is wonderful as well.

Reiko Omori’s clear, translucent vocals further enhance the charm of the piece.

Give it a listen on a typically lonely autumn afternoon.

Naotaro Moriyama / “Romantique / ROMANTIQUE” Music Video

A song that portrays the changing seasons in a romantic light.

Created by singer-songwriter Naotaro Moriyama, it was released in January 2024 and written as the theme song for the anime Ochibi-san.

The lyrics weave in seasonal scenery—spring’s cherry blossoms, summer’s water lilies, autumn’s fragrant olive, and winter’s plum blossoms—leaving a very beautiful impression.

The harmony of the chill sound and the gentle vocals is lovely as well.

Highly recommended for those who want to cherish the small moments of everyday life.

It’s a perfect song for autumn scenery.

Sung by Zarame, a negative–positive singer-songwriter, it was released as a digital single in July 2024.

It was selected as the ending theme for Season 7, Cour 2 of the anime My Hero Academia.

While rooted in rock, it unfolds with a poignant melody and emotional lyrics that leave a strong impression.

The song reflects feelings for a precious presence that has been lost, resulting in something that really hits home.

When you’re feeling lonely, this track might just save you.

Set against the grandeur of the cosmos, this song sings of love and hope.

Released in October 2023, it was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Stardust Telepath.” Its clear, airy vocals and a sound that fuses electronica with J-pop leave a strong impression.

The lyrics embody the courage to journey into the unknown and the deep bonds with a loved one, warming the heart with every listen.

It’s the perfect track for when you’re tired or need a boost.

How about listening to it on a long autumn night while gazing up at the stars?

Moonlight Flower

It became very popular at the time as the opening theme for the anime Black Jack.

Part of the lyrics was newly written to evoke Black Jack’s past injuries and the death of his mother.

Vocalist yasu’s beautiful voice, the grand strings, and the distorted guitar all seem to express the serious theme of “saving lives.”
