The Star of the SeineKoromubia Yurikago-kai

Set in Paris during the French Revolution, this work, which colors the story of a young girl, is marked by the beautiful vocals of Arène and the Columbia Yurikago-kai.
Carried by a brave yet wistful melody, it conveys the heroine’s steadfast will and solitude as she fights for freedom and love.
French phrases woven throughout further enhance the work’s distinctive world.
The LP record was released by Nippon Columbia in June 1975 and was used as the opening theme for the television anime of the same name.
One month after the anime began airing, Arène visited Japan and held six events mainly in the Kanto region.
With its moving, beautiful melody and crystalline vocals, this is a recommended track for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the story’s world along with nostalgic memories.

Innovative☆Metamorpho~se!Doma Umaru (CV: Tanaka Aimi)

It’s a song sung by Aimi Tanaka that captured the hearts of many fans as the opening theme for the anime Himouto! Umaru-chan.
The protagonist’s true feelings—caught between her perfect public persona and her lazy at-home lifestyle—burst forth atop rapid shifts in tempo and an energetic sound.
Thanks to the deft vocal switching, the pure, elegant “beautiful younger sister” parts and the mischievous “himouto” parts flip back and forth so playfully that you can’t help but grin.
Aiden TeiTei Meltdownenako feat. P maru-sama.

This track is irresistible, with its dizzyingly fast-paced sound and a brain-meltingly cute vocal! It’s a collaboration between pro cosplayer Enako and multi-entertainer Pmarusama, chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime “ONII-CHAN IS DONE FOR!” which aired in January 2023.
It unleashes straight-up “moe” as a denpa song, expressing an identity in flux and collapse through a roller-coaster-like, ultra-high-speed trance sound.
Perfect for when you just want to empty your head and get hyped, or soak in pure, no-explanation-needed fun! Why not surrender yourself to this chaotic charm?
Chaotic Wacha Life!FRUITS ZIPPER
Known by the nickname “Furuppā,” FRUITS ZIPPER, who won the Best New Artist Award at the 65th Japan Record Awards for “Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro,” have had their song selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Crayon Shin-chan starting in October 2025.
It’s an energetic track where Shin-chan’s free-spirited, unpredictable daily life blends with the group’s “NEW KAWAII” aesthetic.
Also drawing attention for being the first opening theme change in about five years, the song is crafted to make you want to dance like Shin-chan and can be enjoyed by parents and kids alike.
Monster IslandSuiyōbi no Campanella

This song, written as the theme for the TV anime “Chibi Godzilla no Gyakushū,” bursts with Wednesday Campanella’s signature playful spirit.
Released in July 2025, it features an irresistibly addictive track by Hidefumi Kenmochi and lyrics that feel like peeking into the daily lives of the little kaiju—both leave a strong impression.
The groove that makes your body move and the unique call-and-response shouts are absolutely top-notch.

Dokimeki Diaryasmi feat. Chinozo

Sung by asumi, a new-generation pop icon known as having “the most-used voice on social media,” this is the opening theme for the anime Pokémon.
Her clear, refreshing vocals and gently shimmering pop sound put you in a light, upbeat mood.
True to Pokémon—a character loved across generations—it conveys both a childlike charm and a mature sensibility.
With lyrics that honestly acknowledge one’s own weaknesses while staying natural and positive, it’s a song that soothes the heart even for adult listeners.
