Autumn anime songs: iconic tracks for the deepening fall

Great DaysAoki Karen, Hasegawa Daisuke

I covered JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Opening 7 – Great Days.

This is a song that was used as the opening theme for the TV anime JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

Daisuke Hasegawa’s sweet vocals match the anime’s vibe and sound really cool.

Since it’s based on a popular manga, it also generated a lot of buzz.

THE BACK HORN “Trap” Music Video

This is THE BACK HORN’s 16th single, featured as the theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Set to an intense band sound, it delivers a philosophical take on what it means to “live.” Its razor-sharp, gut-wrenching lyrics sync with the anime’s characters, drawing listeners into Gundam’s deeply human world.

Catch up, latencyUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

[With Lyrics] Catch up, latency / UNISON SQUARE GARDEN Anime “Run with the Wind” OP [Acoustic Cover Chords]

This song was released as the opening theme for the anime Run with the Wind.

Its light and refreshing lyrics and sound—so characteristic of UNISON SQUARE GARDEN—really stick in your ears.

I felt it was a perfect match for the anime’s story.

BE MEDoul

Arknights [Prelude to Dawn] Non-Credit Ending / Doul “BE ME”

The anime Arknights [Prelude to Dawn], which aired in the fall of 2022, featured “BE ME” as its ending theme.

It’s an original song written by the new-generation artist Doul, with a vibe reminiscent of an all-English jazz track.

Its wet, not-too-bright tone matched the series’ worldview.

The lyrics, which sing about the transience of life and happiness, also seem to reflect the anime’s story.

Hide-and-Seek with the Moonyutori

yutori “Hide-and-Seek Between the Moon and Me” Official Music Video (TV Anime ‘WITCH WATCH’ Cour 2 Ending Theme)

I can’t help but let my thoughts drift to the moon floating in the autumn night sky.

This piece by the four-piece rock band yutori is perfect for such a sentimental night.

The song portrays a love that feels like a game of hide-and-seek, where you can’t help but grow timid in front of the person you like.

The frustration of not being able to be honest, and the pure wish to be noticed, ride on glossy vocals and a catchy rock sound that pierce straight to the heart.

Released in June 2025, the track was written as the ending theme for the second cour of the TV anime Witch Watch.

Its bittersweet yet somehow warm melody is sure to gently accompany anyone wrestling with the itchiness of unrequited love.
