yanaginagi “Shirubi” Lyric Video (Full ver.) *TV anime “The Faraway Paladin” Ending Theme

It’s a very cool anime song that sings, “I’ll keep moving forward, even while I’m lost.” It’s a track by singer-songwriter yanaginagi, also known under the name Gazelle, released in 2021 as her 22nd single.

It served as the ending theme for the anime The Faraway Paladin.

Yanaginagi’s fragile-sounding vocals match the tone of the song, resulting in an emotionally stirring piece.

It might be perfect for the season when the heat subsides and a cold wind begins to blow.

ODDTAXIsukaato to PUNPEE

Skirt and PUNPEE “ODDTAXI” Official Music Video (Opening Theme of the TV Anime ‘ODDTAXI’)

I think the stylish tone fits the slightly chilly autumn air.

It’s a collaboration between the band Skirt and hip-hop MC PUNPEE, released in 2021.

It’s the opening theme for the anime Odd Taxi, whose pop visuals and serious storyline became a hot topic.

That laid-back sound is irresistible.

As I listen, my body starts swaying on its own.

With its urban vibe, it might be perfect as background music for a nighttime drive.

Night’s OmenNanami Hiroki

Hiroki Nanami – Night’s Zui [MUSIC VIDEO]

This song, with its fantastical sound that lingers in your ears, is by Hiroki Nanami, a former Takarazuka Revue male-role star.

It was released in July 2024.

Serving as the ending theme for Sengoku Youko: Thousand Demons of Chaos, the anime also features Nanami herself as a voice actor.

It’s a rock ballad with a Japanese flair, marked by a melody line that hides strength beneath its poignancy.

The lyrics delicately portray the protagonist’s inner turmoil and feelings for a loved one, making them especially compelling.

This work fully showcases Nanami’s sensibilities.

It’s the perfect track for quietly reflecting on your heart while gazing up at the night sky.

Soushi Sakiyama / Akari [Official Music Video]

Mellow songs are a perfect match for autumn, aren’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Akari.” It’s the ending theme for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death, written specifically for the show by singer-songwriter Soushi Sakiyama.

The anime portrays how student characters change as they grow into adults, and the song mirrors that by expressing the shifts in personality and values.

Even if you haven’t watched the anime, I’m sure you’ll find it relatable.

The popular reggae group Shonan no Kaze is performing the theme song for the anime Tiger Mask W.

The bold, masculine rhythm is really cool.

Since it’s a cover of the theme song from the first anime series that aired starting in 1969, some people might find it nostalgic.
