Accompanist / Piano InstructorYuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.
Freelance music writerTakashi Hoshino
I’m Takashi Hoshino, a freelance writer currently juggling work with parenting. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years since I first picked it up when I started high school, and I’m still active in a band today. Ever since I began playing, I’ve been drawn to hard rock and heavy metal, and I enjoy intense music, whether Japanese or Western. At the same time, I keep in mind something I was told long ago: “If you want to play rock, you should know more than just rock!” With that in my heart, I make a point of listening to a wide range of genres every day. My experience as a writer is still growing, but I’ll keep working hard to recommend all kinds of music to as many people as possible!

This time, we’re featuring anime songs that are nothing short of cool and blazing hot.

We’ve included tracks spanning many eras, so be sure to check out every last one!

Koga Ninja Scrolls Onmyo-za

A song themed around deep love and a heartrending fate, released by Onmyo-za in April 2005 and used as the opening theme for the anime Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls.

Phantom Sun Mysterium Aqours

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.
