From recent anime to bona fide classics, and even lesser-known cute anison from the past, we’ve selected songs from a variety of perspectives.

Cute Anime Song Special | From the 70s to Today! (41–50)
Dororon Enma-kunNakayama Chinatsu
A song that vividly depicts the mysterious world of yokai was released in 1973 as the opening theme for a TV anime.
With lyrics by Chinatsu Nakayama and music by Asei Kobayashi, the melody wonderfully captures the strange yet humorous nature of these spirits.
The piece playfully recounts the mischief of yokai emerging from the underworld with a bright, light rhythm, offering a friendly charm that appeals to both children and adults.
Its lyrics, imbued with affection for Japan’s traditional yokai culture, harmonize beautifully with a catchy melody.
It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to spend a fun time with yokai or enjoy a nostalgic Showa-era anime song.
Dokimeki Diaryasmi

Asmi, who enjoys immense support mainly among teens and people in their twenties.
Did you know she formed a musical unit with Vocaloid producer Chinozo called “asmi feat.
Chinozo”? Their lavish collaborative unit is behind “Dokimeki Diary.” It serves as the opening theme for the anime Pokémon, expressing the fluttering excitement of a protagonist setting off on a journey.
With its quite high-pitched sound and vocals, it’s also recommended for fans of Vocaloid songs.
In conclusion
This time, since the theme was cute anime songs, we introduced a variety of tracks.
With the recent revival boom, we focused mainly on older songs.
Did you find any favorites? One of the charms of classic works is how well they draw you into their worlds.
At Rug Music, we’ve featured many other anime songs beyond this article as well.
