[Epic Tracks Assembled] A Collection of Cool Anime Songs Chosen by Anime Fans (101–110)
Zankyo SankaAimer
If you’re looking for a passionate anime song that stirs the soul, I recommend “Zankyo Sanka.” It’s sung by Aimer—known for signature tracks like “Kataomoi”—and was chosen as the opening theme for Demon Slayer: Entertainment District Arc.
Its fiery, passionate sound perfectly matches the intense battle scenes.
The brass band tones, which evoke glamorous scenery and cityscapes, are also memorable.
Be sure to pay attention to her powerful yet heartrending husky voice.
Give this anime song a listen—it’s packed with a burning message about life.
Phantom Sun MysteriumAqours
I’d like to introduce “Genjitsu Mysterium” as a song that’s drawing growing attention from anime fans.
It’s the opening theme for Yohane the Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror.
The track is crafted to capture the anime’s fantastical world in a condensed form.
Another notable point is that it’s performed by Aqours—an idol group that appears in the anime Love Live! Sunshine!!.
That’s why it’s drawing attention from fans of both works.
KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi
Have you watched the anime Chainsaw Man yet? Many people have probably found themselves drawn into its dark, stylish world.
And the opening theme, KICK BACK, perfectly encapsulates that atmosphere.
It’s also been a hot topic as the first collaboration between Kenshi Yonezu and Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu.
The sound is unlike anything before, which is part of its appeal—so I hope you’ll give it a listen first.
Also worth noting is that the CD jacket illustration was newly drawn by Kenshi Yonezu himself.

It’s a passionate cheer song that makes you want to live true to yourself.
Released in 2022 by the rock band [Alexandros], known for numerous hits like “Wataridori.” It was chosen as the opening theme for the soccer anime based on the manga, Aoashi.
The driving, fast-paced sound is perfect for a sports anime theme song! Its exhilarating sonic feel really fires you up.
It might resonate most when you need motivation or courage.
KAMIGAMI – Divine Bite –Makishimamu Za Horumon
Maximum the Hormone is a rock band that’s active across major music festivals in Japan, delivering songs that are intense yet somehow catchy.
Their track “KAMIGAMI” (Kami-gami), featured in the anime Record of Ragnarok, is a number that amps up a story depicting fierce battles between gods and humans.
The distinctive vocals etched into the heavy band sound are cool, and the passionate production perfectly matches the epic, battle-filled narrative.
Why not lend an ear to their energetic performances and powerful vocals?

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Back Arrow.
It’s a track by LiSA, the singer who became known throughout Japan with the massive hit Gurenge, and it was released in 2021 as her 18th single.
The aggressive hard rock sound pairs perfectly with LiSA’s razor-sharp vocals, and that alone is enough to stir your emotions.
