[Masterpiece Tracks Assembled] A Collection of Cool Anime Songs Chosen by Anime Fans (41–50)
MelissaPorunogurafiti
Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist was popular as both a manga and an anime, and eventually even became a live-action film.
The first opening theme for the anime is Melissa by Porno Graffitti.
For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of FMA, isn’t it? It’s a track written specifically for the anime to tie in with the story.
Ephemeral yet eternal sorrowUVERworld
It’s the opening theme song of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
It was released on November 19, 2008 as UVERworld’s 12th single.
The opening visuals of the anime match it well, and the vocalist’s voice is distinctive.
Bloom, oh bloomEGOIST
It’s “Sakase ya Sakase” by EGOIST, the theme song for the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress movie.
EGOIST was originally a fictional artist—a character from another anime—but they continued to perform as a music group after that series.
The vocals are outstanding, and every track draws you in.
EGOIST also did the opening theme for the TV anime version.

It’s the opening theme song of the anime Barakamon.
The melody is striking for its sense of speed and freshness, while also conveying poignancy and pain.
The struggle to find one’s true self overlaps with the themes of the series.
It was released in 2014.
SAVIOR OF SONGNano feat. MY FIRST STORY
It’s the theme song for the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-.
This track is a collaboration between nano, a singer who gained popularity through online activities, and the rock band MY FIRST STORY, and it was released as a single in 2013.
The loud, powerful yet beautiful sound production is striking.
The call-and-response-style chorus in the hook is a must-hear, and the synth riffs are incredibly hype! It’s a cool anime song I can recommend to anyone.
Genesis of AquarionAKINO
The opening theme song of the anime “Genesis of Aquarion,” which aired in the late-night slot on TV Tokyo and other networks from April to September 2005.
It was composed by Yoko Kanno, who has created music for many anime.
The lyrics express the anime’s worldview and are deeply moving.
I can introduce it as a masterpiece that truly stirs the heart.
SPARK-AGAINAimer
Released in September 2020, “SPARK-AGAIN” is Aimer’s 19th single and was chosen as the opening theme for the popular anime Fire Force Season 2.
It’s incredibly cool, with a driving sense of speed like a blast of hot wind and a rock sound that surges in the chorus.
If you’ve read the original or watched the anime, I’m sure many of you have thought, “I want to hear this during the battle scenes!” When I think of Aimer, I usually picture songs that quietly and deeply draw you in, but energetic, up-tempo tracks like this that hit you straight in the heart are great too.
