Blue HorizonTRiDENT
A refreshingly exhilarating electropop sound that conjures up a boundless blue sky and vast ocean! This song, which captures the world of the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova-, is performed by the voice actress unit Trident.
Originally performed only once at their final live show in April 2016, it was later released the following year in response to passionate fan requests for an official recording—a moving backstory.
Knowing it represents the unit’s crowning achievement makes it all the more stirring when you listen again.
Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chanDokuro-chan (CV: Saeko Chiba)
From the very first bars, this song makes a powerful impact with a melody that sticks in your head after just one listen.
It’s the opening theme for the OVA Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, released in spring 2005.
Its charm lies in the contrast between Saeko Chiba’s cute vocals and the extreme lyrics, where love for someone goes so overboard that it turns into physical attacks.
It’s as if the story of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan itself has been turned into music.
You’ll find yourself drawn into its rule-breaking, chaotic worldview before you know it—an addictive track, to say the least.
New EraAdo
Sung with the fierce resolve to “change the whole world,” this piece portrays Uta’s determination and inner conflict as she tries to create an ideal world through the power of music.
The lyrics—where the desire to sweep away the pains and hardships of reality intersects with the complex urge to turn away from past mistakes—combine with a fast-paced electropop sound to deeply move listeners.
Released digitally in June 2022, it served as the theme song for the film ONE PIECE FILM RED and as the opening theme for the TV anime ONE PIECE.
The song was written and composed by Yasutaka Nakata.
It’s a must-listen for anyone ready to take a step into a new world and move forward without fearing change!
Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO-do
This is MAHO-dou’s debut single, released in March 1999 as the opening theme for the first season of the TV anime Ojamajo Doremi.
Its bubbly pop arrangement and irresistibly catchy melody are the main draws.
The lyrics are sprinkled with magic spells and energetic call-and-responses, making you feel brighter just by listening.
It enjoys enduring popularity on karaoke charts, and longtime anime fans can’t help but hum along.
Perfect for dance events and “I tried dancing” videos, it’s a quintessential anisong track.
Megamorphose♡Smewthie
This song was written as the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime Tokyo Mew Mew New.
Performed by Smewthie, a unit formed by the five main cast members, it features catchy, comedic phrases that make you want to hum along after just one listen, and an energetic chorus.
Riding on a fast-paced sound, it conveys the girls’ strong, forward-looking feelings directly.
It’s an anime song with a powerful vibe that gives you a push when you want to transform into a new version of yourself!
Upbeat Anime Song Special [Get Hyped] (41–50)
Take It! Sailor FukuKonata Izumi (CV: Aya Hirano), Kagami Hiiragi (CV: Emiri Kato), Tsukasa Hiiragi (CV: Kaori Fukuhara), Miyuki Takara (CV: Aya Endo)
An irresistibly catchy denpa song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Lucky Star.
The vocals by the four characters played by Aya Hirano, Emiri Kato, Kaori Fukuhara, and Aya Endo are like a flood of words! The rap-style sections come at you without a moment to breathe, and the lyrics’ world—where trying to parse the meaning can send you into a maze—will have you hooked before you know it.
It’s perfect for times when you just want to let the music carry you without thinking too hard.
Psycho Every Day!Fumie Akiyoshi
It’s a pop tune that really resonates, featuring Fumie Akiyoshi’s soaring vocals—she also contributed to the lyrics.
The passionate feelings nurtured through adventures with Pokémon—friendship, love, grit, and growth—are delivered straight to the heart on a driving, exhilarating melody.
It’s an energetic piece that makes you feel empowered just by listening.
Released as a single in February 2010, the song became the opening theme for the anime “Pokémon Diamond & Pearl” starting with episode 158.
The switch to the BAND VERSION partway through was also memorable.
It’s a track that will give you a push when you’re taking on a challenge or need one more burst of effort.
