Cute Anime Song Special: From the 1970s to Today!

Full of dreamsYumiko Seki

Yume Ippai / Yumiko Seki [High Quality Audio]

Chibi Maruko-chan is an anime still loved not only by children but also by adults.

Its occasional sarcastic narration and the warm, human characters are part of its appeal.

When it comes to songs from Chibi Maruko-chan, many people probably think of Odoru Ponpokorin.

That song is adorable too, but the one I especially want to recommend is Yume Ippai.

It’s the opening theme from the earlier days of Chibi Maruko-chan—pure and cute—one that brings back memories of the imaginative days of childhood.

It went on to become a hit as a light novel and was subsequently adapted into an anime.

As a well-received school romantic comedy, it became a hit across Japan.

The theme song for Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! is Sparkling Daydream, an impressive track that balances the driving energy of artcore with a sense of cuteness.

Amagami is a romance anime where a male student is the protagonist and various what-if stories unfold with different heroines.

It originally started as a simulation game, but it became so popular that it was adapted into an anime.

The heroines, who are far from perfect, each have distinctive personalities that won fans in a style not often seen at the time.

The theme song for Amagami is i Love.

It has a simple melody, but azusa’s voice is so cute that many listeners may feel enveloped just by listening to it.

TV Anime Osomatsu-san OP 'Hanamaru Pippi wa Yoiko Dake / A応P' MV Making (Dance Version)

Osomatsu-san is an original anime inspired by Fujio Akatsuka’s manga Osomatsu-kun.

Its risqué humor and dark jokes became popular and led to a boom among fujoshi.

Hanamaru Pippi wa Yoiko Dake is the first opening theme for Osomatsu-san.

It’s sung by the idol group AŌP, and their charming voices help give the song a cute vibe.

Incidentally, the original manga features even more extreme dark humor than Osomatsu-san.

Crayon Shin-chan, I'm a popular kid.

The classic anime Crayon Shin-chan is beloved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults.

Its movies are famous for often being so profound that even adults are moved to tears.

While people tend to associate the series with the films’ image, Crayon Shin-chan is, at its core, a gag anime.

Many of the songs that appear in it are crafted to be comical and cute.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Ora wa Ninkimono.

It’s sung by Akiko Yajima, the voice actress who played Shin-chan, and the entire piece has a uniquely charming and playful vibe.

An anime that was a huge hit with young children in the 2000s, Hamtaro.

For people now in their mid-20s, it must feel incredibly nostalgic.

The series portrays the everyday lives of hamsters and features a variety of characters with different personalities.

The premise is cute, and the content itself is also very adorable, leaving a warm, heartwarming impression as you watch.

The theme song is extremely cute as well—especially “The Hamtaro Tottoko Song,” which, being sung by the voice actors, gives off an irresistibly cute vibe.
