Moving anime song masterpieces and popular tracks (71–80)

againYUI

It’s the opening theme song of the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

Released in 2009, it is YUI’s 13th single.

YUI herself wrote and composed the song, and it’s a track where her angelic voice and lyrics that pierce like a cry from the heart resonate deeply.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

It’s the theme song for a Crayon Shin-chan movie.

It has a unique worldview and a different vibe from other anime songs.

Even so, I think it carries a message that’s just as strong as any other track.

As the title suggests, it evokes the image of exploring the world like in an RPG.

It makes me feel like I’m a child again.

A prank by the godsNakajima Ai

God’s Prank / Megumi Nakajima (2-chorus ver.)
A prank by the godsNakajima Ai

It’s the ending theme of Tamayura.

The calm melody and Ms.

Nakajima’s gentle singing voice resonate in my heart.

The ending visuals feel like looking back through a photo album, which makes it bittersweet.

I especially love the chorus lyrics—they’re very beautiful.

Nirgilis – “Sakura” [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

In the fourth opening of Eureka Seven, the bright melody contrasts with poignantly bittersweet lyrics that leave a strong impression.

Although the anime portrays racism and human relationships with striking realism, listening to this song makes my heart feel so liberated that those kinds of small walls hardly matter.

Let It Go ~As I Am~Matsu Takako

Takako Matsu – Let It Go ~Ari no mama de~ (From “Frozen”)
Let It Go ~As I Am~Matsu Takako

This is a song from the Disney film Frozen.

Takako Matsu starred as the Japanese dubbing voice in 2014, and this song has surpassed one million downloads.

May J also sings the same song in the ending.

After the movie was released, it was such a sensational hit that you’d hear people humming it every day.

It’s an encouraging song filled with the message of being true to yourself.

See youDREAMS COME TRUE

It’s a timeless song that wraps a farewell with a loved one in warm hope.

Created by the pop duo DREAMS COME TRUE, the track layers Miwa Yoshida’s powerful vocals over a wistful melody, evoking not only loneliness but also the promise of meeting again.

The pure chorus sung by children further heightens the emotional impact of the story.

After being included on the album “AND I LOVE YOU,” it was released as a single in February 2008 and chosen as the theme song for the film “ONE PIECE Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in the Winter, Miracle Sakura.” Commissioned directly by the original author, it was crafted into a moving piece that closely matches the film’s worldview.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to look ahead during graduation and departure seasons.
