Cute Anime Song Special: From the 1970s to Today!
Anison—anime songs—are a crucial element that brings color to anime.
In a sense, they’re the “face” of a series, and anison lyrics and melodies are generally tailored to fit each work.
This time, we’ve picked out tracks with especially cute vibes from among those anison.
Rather than being simply girly and cute, our ranking also leans into the emotional side.
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.
Please sit back, relax, and enjoy to the very end!
