This is “Sen no Yoru wo Koete” by the band Aqua Timez, who shocked many by suddenly announcing their disbandment in 2018.

It was used as the theme song for the Bleach theatrical anime and achieved million-selling status.

In addition to this track, the band released numerous beloved hits that anyone can hum along to, such as Niji, the theme song for the hugely popular drama Gokusen, and the classic Toushindai no Love Song.

Chihayafuru YOUTHFUL FULL

It’s the opening theme of the anime “Chihayafuru,” released in 2011, and the debut single by 99RadioService.

The lyrics align with the anime’s story—a youth friendship song about pursuing dreams, staying connected even when apart, and wanting to meet again at the destination you’re aiming for.

Do As Infinity / Poem of Truth (Shinjitsu no Uta)

It’s the 5th ending theme of the anime Inuyasha.

It’s Do As Infinity’s 14th single, released in 2002.

The lyrics were written by the group’s vocalist, Tomiko Van, and it’s a song she had been developing since the time of the anime’s ending theme Fukai Mori.

The Chinese string instrument jinghu (pinyin) is used, giving it a truly dreamlike atmosphere.

Gekkouka / Janne Da Arc (cover)

The opening theme of the anime Black Jack.

It’s a song by the visual kei rock band Janne Da Arc.

The lyrics give an impression that evokes a sense of shadow, and I think it suits the image of the protagonist, Black Jack, the unlicensed doctor.

Used as an insert song in the second season of Little Busters!, it played during one of the most moving scenes in the series, so I think many people were brought to tears.

The same song plays in the same scene in both the anime and the game, and even knowing the outcome, I can’t help but cry when I hear it.
