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.
The Other selfGRANRODEO
Anyway, its refreshing, fast-paced tune fits perfectly with the youth anime Kuroko’s Basketball, which is set around high school basketball.
It’s a song by the two-member music unit GRANRODEO, released in 2013 as their 20th single.
The passionate message—just keep pushing forward!—is quintessentially anime-song, isn’t it?

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.
GATE — Like the Dawn —Kishida Kyoudan & THE Myoujou Rockets
This track is by Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets, a band led by composer Kishida—who also writes songs for artists like LiSA and Minori Chihara—and also a doujin music unit.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime “GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There,” based on Takumi Yanai’s fantasy novel.
To convey the anime’s image, a shout is included after the chorus.
The later release “GATE II ~Beyond the World~” was also used as the opening theme for the anime’s second season.
Well then,SURFACE
It’s “Sa” by SURFACE, the opening theme of the anime Mamotte Shugogetten! that aired in 1998.
This song is packed with 1990s elements, isn’t it? It became a hot topic in 2015 when the comedy duo Korokoro Chikichiki Peppers used it on King of Conte.

The distinctive vocals etched into the heavy band sound are cool, and the passionate production perfectly matches the epic, battle-filled narrative.
