OVER THE TOP

Sung by Hiroshi Kitadani, who worked on the very first opening theme “We Are!,” this is an irresistible track for fans.

Released as a single in September 2019, it was reportedly written as the opening theme for the Wano Country arc of the TV anime One Piece.

This song is a high-energy, fast-paced number that portrays the protagonist’s spirit of pressing forward and believing in oneself no matter the hardship.

There’s even an anecdote that Kitadani poured so much passion into the recording that he worked up a heavy sweat, and just listening to it fills you with courage.

I wholeheartedly recommend this piece as an anthem that will push the backs of those who want to overcome challenges and break through their limits!

Where Our Blue Is / Tatsuya Kitani

Singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani, who is active as a Vocaloid producer and also stands out as a bassist.

His song “Ao no Sumika,” released in July 2023, was chosen as the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen, the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death arc.

It sets conflicting emotions—the end of youthful days once believed to go on forever and the radiant memories that linger in the heart—against a refreshing, fast-paced sound.

The lyrics, where the ache for an irretrievable past intersects with the brilliance of time spent with friends, align beautifully with the relationships among the characters.

It’s a rock tune you’ll want to listen to when you feel like reflecting on days gone by.

Kokoro-e

Despite their short-lived activity, the band Road of Major made a splash in the rock scene.

They are known for their refreshing rock sound and have left behind many great songs.

Among them, Kokoroe is especially recommended as a high-energy anime song.

It was used as the opening theme for Major: 1st Season and continues to enjoy strong popularity among readers and viewers to this day.

While the vocal range spans from mid1 D to high C and is relatively wide, it doesn’t require delicate falsetto, so as long as you can belt, it’s by no means a difficult song.
