Come here, Perman.Miwa Katsue

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.

Space Battleship YamatoSasaki Isao

Set against the vast backdrop of space, this charismatic anime weaves battles, human relationships, and a variety of themes into its story.

And of course, when you think of Yamato, it’s got to be this theme song.

It’s still sung in many scenes even today, and I think its traditional vibe—more than just old-fashioned—continues to captivate fans.

Love Song of Lum (Urusei Yatsura)Matsutani Yūko

Urusei Yatsura OP (Lum’s Love Song) / Tomoko Kaneda
Love Song of Lum (Urusei Yatsura)Matsutani Yūko

A new concept for the theme song: it’s sung by Lum, who has many male fans.

Guys who love Lum will probably be able to sing the full chorus.

I feel like around this time, more fans started getting into cosplay and idolizing heroines.

Well, she is really cute, after all.

Captain Tsubasa / The Super Champions Opening 2 Captain Tsubasa OP 2 [Burn to Be a Hero]

When it comes to boys’ soccer anime, it has to be Tsubasa.

I think many people started playing soccer after watching this show.

It’s still running today, the protagonist has grown up, and we, who were kids back then, have grown up too.

It’s an anime that feels familiar, one we’ve been able to grow alongside.
