Moving and iconic anime songs, popular tracks

Premium Kuroge Wagyu Salted Tongue (grilled) 680 yenOtsuka Ai

Ai Otsuka / Grilled Top-Salt Wagyu Tongue 680 Yen (Short Ver.)

It’s the ending theme of Black Jack.

The title is really weird, but it’s a love song, and the beautiful melody is addictive.

The part where it’s somehow compared to salted tongue (beef tongue) is funny, but I think it’s a really good song.

I often sing it at karaoke.

RPGSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI「RPG」

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.

TouchIwasaki Yoshimi

Touch – Yoshimi Iwasaki (Full)

This is the theme song of the anime Touch, based on Mitsuru Adachi’s original work, which set a landmark in baseball anime.

Even after the broadcast ended, it has been rebroadcast many times and adapted into a live-action film, becoming a long-loved work.

I imagine many people are moved to tears just by listening to this song.

Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master / Rica Matsumoto (Covered by Kobasolo & Mirai (The Hoopers)) Short ver.

This is the original opening theme of the long-running anime Pokémon, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

It was even remade as the theme song for the movie, and I think it’s a song that gives courage to listeners across generations.

Please take this opportunity to listen to it together as a parent and child.

It’s the opening theme of Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water.

It was Miho Morikawa’s 12th single, released in 1990, and it’s her best-selling song.

Her refreshingly powerful, soaring vocals are invigorating, and the song, brimming with hope for the future, is truly uplifting.

The gentle piano melody and warm acoustic guitar tones seem to softly nestle up to the listener’s heart.

This work by Rie fu is a song that richly expresses the journey of pressing forward with hope alongside someone precious, even as we face rough waves on the voyage called life.

The interplay of English and Japanese in the lyrics is truly beautiful.

Released as a single in September 2004, it captured the hearts of many fans as the very first ending theme for the anime BLEACH.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling a touch nostalgic or when you need the courage to take a new step forward.

NAKAMAZeddo feat. AI

TV Anime “Dragon Ball DAIMA” Non-Credit Ending Video | “NAKAMA”

A much-talked-about track born from a dream collaboration between a world-renowned producer and a powerhouse Japanese singer.

It serves as the ending theme for the anime Dragon Ball DAIMA.

Zedd’s gentle yet grand electronic sound blends beautifully with AI’s soulful vocals, resulting in a moving piece.

The lyrics, which sing of unshakable bonds with friends and hope for the future, warmly embrace the listener’s heart.

It’s the kind of song that will set your heart ablaze when you need the courage to take a step forward.
