[2026] Recommended Anisongs for Middle Schoolers: Theme Songs and Insert Songs from Popular Anime

music writerKOH-1
Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

There are a lot of anime opening themes.

The real charm of anime songs is listening while picturing the visuals in your mind! Goosebumps guaranteed.

Blue MagicChōkyūmei

“Blue Magic” Music Video / ChoQ-May

Blue MagicChōkyūmei

The four-piece band Chokyuumei released “Blue Magic” in October 2025, which serves as the ending theme for the TV anime Blue Orchestra Season 2.

It’s a song woven by Rei around the theme of love that stays close to one’s struggles and loneliness.

Distinctive violin phrases are intricately interlaced, and over its dynamic sonic landscape, the small moments of everyday life overlap and grow into a story—that process is what the song portrays.

Its emotional sound, where sorrow and hope intersect, may resonate deeply when you look back on time spent with someone dear.
