Moving/Touching Anime Song Masterpieces and Popular Tracks (111–120)

ChronostasisBUMP OF CHICKEN

BUMP OF CHICKEN “Chronostasis”
ChronostasisBUMP OF CHICKEN

An emotionally moving song by BUMP OF CHICKEN, written as the theme for the feature film Detective Conan: The Bride of Halloween.

Released in April 2022, it beautifully fuses the band’s signature emotional rock sound with intricately crafted electronic elements.

Its ethereal tone feels as if it captures the very moment when time suddenly stands still, deeply resonating with the film’s themes of memory and time.

Many listeners will likely be touched by the lyrical world that reflects Motoo Fujiwara’s gentle gaze toward the landscapes of days gone by and those dear to us.

It’s perfect for savoring the lingering afterglow of the movie or for quietly reflecting on your own memories at night.

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.

TouchIwasaki Yoshimi

Touch – Yoshimi Iwasaki (Full)
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi

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

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.

Lapis-Lazuli EarthOikawa Nazuna (CV: Hirose Suzu)

This is an insert song from the animated film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?”.

The song was originally included on Seiko Matsuda’s 1986 album “SUPREME,” and this version is a cover.

Suzu Hirose, who plays the heroine Nazuna Oikawa, delivers vocals that blend beautifully with the gentle interplay of piano and strings, quietly resonating in the listener’s heart.

The lyrics carry a sense of hope beyond hardship and a tenderness toward the Earth, leaving you with a warm feeling.

It’s a perfect track for those summer nights when you want to soothe your soul.

Good morningKeno

Good morningKeno

Keno’s song, with its powerful melody and warm lyrics, truly touches the heart.

Released in January 2000 as the theme song for the hugely popular anime HUNTER×HUNTER, its lyrics begin with the everyday phrase “Good morning.” They capture the small joys of greeting a new day and the importance of human connection.

The song reached No.

23 on the Oricon charts and appeared a total of 11 times.

Brimming with themes of friendship, adventure, and challenge, it fills you with courage and hope every time you listen.

If you’re feeling anxious about starting a new chapter in life, this is a track you’ll definitely want to hear!
