HikariHorie Yui

Inukami! Opening

It’s the ending theme of “Inukami!” Its sound is characterized by dance music based on trance.

Overall, it’s an up-tempo and easy-to-listen-to track.

The shakuhachi-like tones really stand out.

Yui Horie’s cute voice matches it perfectly, and I can’t help but listen to it over and over.

TV anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?” OP theme Muscle Video

I can’t get enough of the song’s consistently high energy.

It was used as the opening theme for the anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?” and is sung by the voice actors who appear in it.

As the title suggests, it’s a funky piece themed around muscles.

The humor-filled music video released on YouTube also became a hot topic.

The call-and-response phrases are great, aren’t they? They make me want to shout along myself.

How about using it as your workout companion BGM?

[HD with Lyrics] Previous Story Summary - Imamade no Arasuji (CD Full Version)

If you’re looking for a denpa song, try this one.

It’s the theme song for the YouTube anime “The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya,” a spinoff of the quintessential 2000s anime “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.” It’s sung by the voice actors who play the main characters, and they talk nonstop throughout the track! Even if you want to focus on the singing, it’s hard to do so.

But for Haruhi fans and voice-actor fans, a song like this is probably a real treat.

It’s an anime song that’s fun and guaranteed to make you smile.

Bacchi DancerDOES

DOES 'Gamble Dancer' (Theme song of the film Gintama: The Movie – A New Retelling Benizakura Arc)

This is a song by the popular rock band DOES.

Although it’s an anime song used as an opening theme for Gintama, it’s so beloved—especially in the highly popular “Benizakura” arc, which was adapted into a film—that it was also used unchanged as the theme song for the movie Gintama: The Movie: A New Retelling of the Benizakura Arc.

The song captures the atmosphere of the film’s world.

Plan ADISH//

DISH// – Plan A [Official Video] | TV Anime “The Elusive Samurai” Opening Theme

This is an anime tie-in track that stands out with a rock sound infused with traditional Japanese flavors.

It powerfully conveys the message that “sometimes you need to run from fate,” aligning closely with the protagonist’s inner turmoil and way of life set in the Kamakura period.

It’s an innovative song where DISH//’s dynamic band sound fuses with festival-like rhythms and the timbres of traditional Japanese instruments.

Released as a single in September 2024, it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime The Elusive Samurai.

All members took part in composing, and the lyrics were written by vocalist Takumi Kitamura, making it an ambitious work.

It’s a recommended track not only for fans of anime and manga, but also for music listeners interested in Japanese-style rock.

HeartbeatPrière

Prière _ Heartbeat : DiGi Charat Nyo

It’s the ending theme of the anime “Di Gi Charat Nyo.” The original song is by a Swedish rock group called Friends, and this is a cover version.

Even if you don’t know the original, it has a catchy, pop melody that feels familiar and is easy to listen to.
