[2026] Recommended Popular Anime Songs for High School Students (71–80)
Adult Chick Childrenyama
A high-velocity arrangement that grabs your ears—the opening theme for the TV anime “SANDA.” yama’s razor-sharp vocals confront the universal question: What does it mean to become an adult? Simply growing older doesn’t make you one, but having youth doesn’t make you a child either.
The song vividly captures the struggle with change and the pains of growth.
It will be available digitally in October 2025, with a CD release in December.
Don’t miss the chance to experience yama’s undeniable coolness!
THE REVOPorunogurafiti
Written as the opening theme for the TV anime My Hero Academia FINAL SEASON, this song marks the band’s first time handling a series theme in about nine years since “THE DAY” for Season 1 in 2016.
The lyrics, built around the keyword “revolution in the mind,” depict a resolve to overturn one’s values, conveying a level of intensity befitting the story’s final chapter.
With powerful vocals and a solid, driving melody that pushes you forward, it’s a rock number that symbolizes change and hope.
Offering (sacrificial victim) -nie-Yoshino
A song by Yoshino released in October 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime “I Want to Eat You, Inhuman.” It portrays searing emotions that waver between loneliness and obsession, between devouring and being devoured, set to a theatrical rock sound.
Yoshino’s vocals move between edgy power and delicate nuance, highlighting the work’s beautiful worldview.
I imagine many listeners will relate to the bittersweet feeling of yearning for someone even while carrying loneliness.
Eenie Meenie Lost ChildŌgami Mio
A song released in October 2025 by Mio Ookami, a VTuber from hololive, was chosen as the theme for the third cour of the TV anime “Nmeneko.” Written, composed, and arranged by Akki, its gently phrased lyrics weave in feelings about choices, adventures, and cherishing time spent with loved ones.
Don’t miss the adorable animated music video by Gomahichi.
It’s an anime pop track that will make your heart skip.
Amidakuji (Japanese lottery method)chōgakusei
This is a song by Chogakusei released digitally in October 2025 as the opening theme for the second cour (Nerima arc) of the TV anime “Tougen Anki.” It’s a rock number that confronts weighty themes like fate and justice head-on, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement by Yuki Tsujimura.
The track boldly sings of the resolve to survive in turbulent times and of self-affirmation, featuring a powerful sound and vocals that are sharp yet passionate.
It’s a work we hope everyone who is striving to move forward while facing inner conflict will listen to.
Chaos reaches its peakUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This track captivates with its exhilarating rock sound and meticulous arrangements.
Created by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime Blue Lock and released in October 2022 as their 18th single.
In sync with the story’s intense developments, the rapidly shifting structure and catchy melodies weave a distinctive catharsis that leaves a strong impression.
Perfectly matching the anime’s dynamism, the song has earned high praise, including the Creators’ Choice Award for Most Votes.
It’s an uplifting tune I recommend for moments when you want to raise your spirits or recharge your energy.
Like GravityBONNIE PINK
Many listeners will surely be moved by the delicate, emotionally resonant vocals.
This work portrays two people from different worlds being drawn to each other with the force of gravity itself, supporting one another and sharing irreplaceable moments.
Even while sensing a parting that may come someday, the lyrics express an earnest desire to cherish the present moment.
Released in September 2025, the song was chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime “Although I Am an Assassin, My Status Is Clearly Stronger Than the Hero’s.” BONNIE PINK herself delved into the original work and wrote the lyrics from the heroine’s perspective, which is truly wonderful.
It might be perfect to listen to when you want to reaffirm your bond with someone important.
