Anime songs to listen to on Halloween: Anime theme songs and insert songs with yokai and ghost themes (81–90)
Because you can't see it, right!?Miko Yotsuya (CV: Sora Amamiya)
As images associated with Halloween, motifs like ghosts often come to mind, but ghosts are strange beings that ordinary people can’t see, right? Mieruko-chan is a work that tells the story of a girl who suddenly becomes able to see such otherworldly entities.
The theme song is performed by voice actress Sora Amamiya in her role as the protagonist, Miko Yotsuya.
While the song mainly carries a bright and refreshing atmosphere, it also incorporates elements that sound as if someone is frightened, which seems to express the story’s theme of sensing these strange beings yet trying to ignore them.
The atmosphere of the work, which balances both comedy and horror, comes through clearly in the music as well.
Even hell’s judgment depends on you.Hell’s Verdict All-Stars
This song was the opening theme for the anime Hozuki’s Coolheadedness.
Even though it’s themed around hell, the vibe is poppy, yet the lyrics casually say some scary things… it’s truly a unique track.
Its brightness makes it perfect BGM for Halloween events, and it has a charm that lets you play it on endless loop.
You could even do Halloween cosplay that matches the world of Hozuki’s Coolheadedness—totally a great idea.
The prison guard duo Karashi and Nasubi would be a blast, and if you cosplay as the Datsueba, the costume might even be pretty cheap!

It’s a song that fits perfectly when you’re dressed in Western-style costumes.
No buts!Mami Kawada
How about livening up your Halloween party with a cool electronic number? This track by Hokkaido-born singer Mami Kawada was released in 2010 as her ninth single.
It served as the opening theme for the anime A Certain Magical Index II.
A stylish piece where powerful, high-pressure synths mesh perfectly with Kawada’s soaring vocals.
