TM NETWORK / Get Wild（TM NETWORK FINAL MISSION -START investigation-）

A theme song from City Hunter that is still widely recognized as a masterpiece not only by devoted fans but by the public at large.

Those who didn’t watch the anime when it originally aired might not even realize it’s an anime song.

Tetsuya Komuro’s programmed production and Utsunomiya’s high-tone vocals are incredibly cool, and no matter when you listen to it, it feels “fresh”—a true god-tier track.

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.

It was the 16th opening theme of the anime Naruto Shippuden and KANA-BOON’s fifth major-label single, released in 2014.

It was also the band’s first tie-in song.

The lyrics, which connect with the anime’s story, carry an uplifting message about turning painful pasts and experiences into strength and moving forward toward a new future, sung over a brisk, catchy melody.

It is one of the most popular songs among the series’ themes.

Kenshi Yonezu – Peace Sign

This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu, who is active as a singer-songwriter.

It became a hot topic when it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime My Hero Academia.

The song carries a message about facing forward and confronting challenges head-on, even while wrestling with doubts in your heart.

My Neighbor Totoro – Hey let’s go (Ghibli 25th year Budokan concert)

Azumi Inoue’s “Sanpo,” the signature song from Studio Ghibli’s emblematic film My Neighbor Totoro, is performed here with orchestra and chorus.

The footage is from “Joe Hisaishi in Budokan: 25 Years with the Animations of Hayao Miyazaki,” featuring numerous Ghibli masterpieces arranged and conducted by Joe Hisaishi himself.

The live texture of the orchestra is truly wonderful.

This piece was previously arranged for “Orchestra Stories: My Neighbor Totoro,” which includes a narrated performance—highly recommended as well.

Like an instrument introduction, it features sections where only the woodwinds or only the brass play, as well as sections for strings and percussion, plus solo passages, making it an arrangement that showcases the orchestra’s appeal.

It’s also recommended as an introductory piece for those new to orchestral music.

This song, used as the theme for the high-quality film 5 Centimeters per Second, was originally released in 1996.

Although it wasn’t created specifically for the anime, its lyrics and the story align so perfectly that it feels completely natural.

Thanks to Masayoshi Yamazaki’s distinctive vocals and the tear-jerking lyrics, you can listen to it over and over without ever getting tired of it.

Hanako Oku / Garnet (Solo Performance) [Music Video]

It’s the theme song of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

I really like Hanako Oku—she has such a beautiful voice.

The fact that it’s a solo vocal with piano makes it even more poignant.

I think it’s a song that brings back memories of those faint, youthful romances from our school days.

It also matches the film’s story very well.
