Moving and iconic anime songs, popular tracks

Yumejinano.RIPE

Yumeji / nano.RIPE with lyric subtitles

It’s the theme song of Hanasaku Iroha.

It played in the final episode, and it fit perfectly with the feeling of everyone heading toward their own futures.

The contrast between the bright melody and the slightly bittersweet lyrics is great.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when embarking on a new journey.

only my railgun

It’s the opening theme of A Certain Scientific Railgun.

The song faithfully captures the anime’s world.

Although it’s a bit difficult to sing, its up-tempo beat really amps you up at karaoke.

Also, the singer, Yoshino Nanjō, has a very cute, idol-like voice.

memoriesŌtsuki Maki

ONE PIECE ED1 Memories

It’s the song used for One Piece’s very first ending theme, and if you listen to it now, some of you might find it so nostalgic that you can’t help but cry.

One Piece is still ongoing as an incredibly popular anime, but personally, this is my favorite ending theme, and I still listen to it often.

For Fruits Basketokazaki ritsuko

For Fruits Basket

Used as the opening theme for Fruits Basket, this song features Ritsuko Okazaki’s gentle vocals and a calm melody that naturally puts you at ease as you listen.

Since this anime is extremely well-crafted as a romance, if you like the opening theme, you’ll surely get hooked on the series too.

Snow RainUeda Kana

mahou shoujo lyrical nanoha amv snow rain

This is a song that played as an insert track in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s, and it was used in particularly moving, pivotal scenes in the main story.

The singer is Kana Ueda, the voice actress who plays the key character Hayate Yagami.

As expected of a voice actress, the emotions she pours into her singing really come through, and no matter how many times I listen, it brings me to tears.

Melody of the HeartShirahamasaka Koukou Gasshou-bu

TARITARI Melody of the Heart (5-person Ver. FULL)

An in-story song from TARI TARI.

The fact that it was composed by the protagonist’s late mother is moving enough to bring tears.

With its beautiful melody and lyrics, I find it incredibly soothing.

It’s a piece I’d love to try singing in a choir.

I recommend it when you want to feel refreshed.

【Aimer】「Last Stardust」(Band Cover)【Fate/Stay Night: UBW EP 20 Insert Song】

As an insert song in Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, it brought viewers to tears when it played in the main story, enhanced by the flashback scene.

Not only Japanese fans but also overseas fans were captivated, and the related videos on YouTube are all highly rated.
