The opening theme for the anime Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts is “LOVE INFINITY.” It’s a track sung by the vocalist Hinano.
The song explores the frailty of the heart and the fleeting nature of life, conveying a message to live without regrets.
Its grand melody makes that message even more impactful.

Also, be sure to pay attention to Hinano’s soulful vocals and how the song connects with the anime.
MONTAGENakajima Kento
I’m drawn to its grand sense of scale and refined sound.
“MONTAGE” was released in May 2025 and was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “The After-Dinner Mysteries.” The composition is by Hiroyuki Sawano, known for works like “Attack on Titan” and “Mobile Suit Gundam.” The fusion of a mysterious atmosphere with a danceable rhythm is striking, and Kento Nakajima’s expressively rich vocals are another highlight.
The thrilling melody that echoes the anime’s story is superb as well.
Be sure to listen closely and immerse yourself in its world.
VENGEANCEcoldrain
Amid fierce guitar riffs and a thunderous rhythm, the epic soundscape is defined by the piercing cries of a soul consumed by vengeance.
Centered on a thirst for revenge born from deep pain and betrayal, it powerfully portrays a descent into darkness.
At the same time, it offers layered hints of salvation and hope beyond that abyss.
Released on February 11, 2024, this work was chosen as the opening theme for Adult Swim’s anime series “NINJA KAMUI,” where it perfectly matches the show’s worldview.
It’s a track that will resonate when you want to unleash the anger and anguish within.

This is a powerful, up-tempo track brimming with the spirit of 1970s hero anime.

This song is characterized by its refreshing melody and lyrics that gradually intensify the feeling of being in love.
Captivated by the other person’s smile, it conveys a positive determination to break free from the darkness and the courage to embark on a new adventure.

Burning HeroOkita Hiroyuki
A towering landmark of anime songs that sings of dreams and passion over samba rhythms and a catchy melody! This masterpiece briskly and humorously portrays the presence, skill, and influence of an ace player.
Hiroyuki Okita’s refreshing vocals brilliantly capture the allure of soccer and the throbbing energy of youth.
Released in 1983 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Captain Tsubasa, it became a classic that helped spark the soccer boom.
In 2018, it was remade by Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight.
