[Epic Tracks Assembled] A Collection of Cool Anime Songs Chosen by Anime Fans (111–120)
BlessingYOASOBI
YOASOBI is a duo that creates music based on existing stories.
Their song “Shukufuku” was written specifically from the story of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury.
It’s crafted as a message of encouragement to the protagonist, Mercury, who keeps moving forward toward the future.
The track’s exhilarating sense of speed is also a draw, and if you listen closely, the tempo actually quickens toward the latter half.
That’s why it feels like it keeps building up toward the end.
Eye’s SentryUVERworld
The appeal of UVERworld’s music lies in its consistently profound, heartfelt messages that resonate deeply with listeners.
The lyrics they weave earnestly question how we face ourselves and how we relate to others.
In this work in particular, the importance of confronting one’s own truth and the value of bonds with those who accept it are powerfully voiced.
Released on March 6, 2024, this single was written as the opening theme for the TV anime Blue Exorcist: The Shimane Illuminati Saga.
I hope that everyone standing at a crossroads in life can draw courage and hope from this song.
Azaleanano.RIPE
It’s the opening theme song of the TV anime “citrus.” The lyrics, which strikingly portray the anxiety and hesitation that anyone might feel about love, carry a hint of pain.
Combined with the slightly dark tone of the music, it comes together as a song that evokes unstable emotions.
Mononoke in the Fictionuso to kamereon
This song’s irresistibly catchy guitar riff will get stuck in your head.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime In/Spectre.
It’s a track from the five-piece rock band Uso to Chameleon’s 2020 album JUGEM.
The bouncy rhythm and vocalist Cham(.△)’s soaring voice are simply addictive.
The song packs a concentrated dose of catchiness that makes you want to sway your body and bang your head.
Be sure to enjoy it alongside In/Spectre.
ScarSenchimirimentaru
The song that’s been spreading by word of mouth as a real tearjerker is “Kizuato.” It’s a track by Centimillimental, the solo project of next-generation artist Atsushi, and it was selected as the opening theme for the anime Given.
The anime portrays human loneliness and sorrow through the lens of romance, and the lyrics capture that delicately.
Even if you don’t know the anime, you’ll surely find it relatable.
Give it a listen and pay attention to the catchy chorus phrases.
to clear up (weather)Yorushika
Known for their transparent vocals and literary lyrics, Yorushika’s songs are renowned for delivering deep emotion.
This work expresses, through natural scenery, the importance of holding on to hope even in difficult times.
It is a song that offers courage and comfort, carrying the message that even when you are overwhelmed by sorrow, clear skies surely await beyond.
Released digitally on January 5, 2024, it was selected as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
Highly recommended for those facing life’s hardships or seeking to keep looking forward.
W●RKmillennium parade × Shiina Ringo
“WORK” is a song that vividly reflects the world of the anime Hell’s Paradise.
Born from the collaboration between millennium parade and Ringo Sheena, it features a catchy melody and a powerful vocal performance.
Its soundscape adds depth to the anime’s narrative and leaves a striking impression on listeners.
The music video also visually expresses the song’s distinctive atmosphere, drawing viewers into its world.
