Fly! GundamIkeda Ko
This is the song used as the first opening theme for the hugely popular anime Mobile Suit Gundam, which began airing in 1979.
Gundam remains immensely popular today, and because this song is composed within a relatively easy vocal range, it’s recommended even for karaoke beginners.
Sorry, cowboy.ushirogami hikaretai
We present a classic idol pop masterpiece from the 1980s, sourced from rare recordings.
Set to a powerful yet beautiful melody line, the song richly expresses a yearning for and desire to understand a free-spirited transfer student.
Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics and Tsutomu Goto’s composition blend perfectly, resulting in a fresh and captivating track.
Released by Ushirogami Hikaretai in November 1987, the song was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Tsuide ni Tonchinkan” and is also included on the album BAB.
It’s the perfect tune for anyone wanting to indulge in a sense of nostalgia.
Saint Seiya Myth ~Soldier Dream~Kageyama Hironobu & BROADWAY
It’s a landmark anime song that unfolds a dramatic, grand-scale worldview.
Featuring Hironobu Kageyama’s powerful vocals and BROADWAY’s exhilarating, fast-paced sound, it’s an irresistibly compelling track.
The lyrics, depicting the mission and friendship of warriors who fight with their lives shining, and their hope for the future, are sure to set listeners’ hearts ablaze.
Released in May 1988, it gained popularity as the opening theme for a TV Asahi anime.
In May 2019, a male contestant who performed this song on NHK Nodo Jiman was crowned the first Reiwa-era anime song champion.
Highly recommended not only for those who enjoyed anime in their youth, but for anyone with a fiery spirit.
Tari-rari-ran no KonyanyachiwaKoromubia Yurikago-kai
This is the theme song of “Ganso Tensai Bakabon.” Unlike the original “Tensai Bakabon” theme, it’s crafted with a space motif and carries a somewhat grander sense of scale.
The very surreal worldview of “Bakabon’s Papa” leaves a lasting impression, and I still think he’s a great figure.
Come here, Perman.Miwa Katsue
The theme song of Perman.
No.
1 is good, but No.
2 was very cute and popular.
The Copy Robot is also very appealing—it’s an item I’d love to see become real.
Seriously, I want a Copy Robot.
The theme song is very cute, too, so try singing it together with your kids.
