[2026 Edition] Latest Western Film Theme Songs and Insert Songs Summary (51–60)
AlineJarvis Cocker
The American film “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun,” released in Japan in 2022.
Its main theme song, “Aline,” features an elegant sound reminiscent of French chanson.
But in fact, the singer is Jarvis Cocker, the frontman of Pulp—an essential rock band when talking about Britpop, the major movement that swept the UK in the 1990s.
He delivers a superb cover of French singer Christophe’s song, keeping a French pop flavor while adding a distinctly Pulp touch.
The FabelmansJohn Williams
Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical film The Fabelmans was released in November 2022.
The music was composed by John Williams, the composer who has partnered with Spielberg on numerous classics.
The film also marks the 50th anniversary of their collaboration.
The main theme, The Fabelmans, was recorded as a solo piano piece, and its warm sound—capturing even the surrounding air unique to acoustic instruments—is especially appealing.
Whole Lotta LoveLed Zeppelin
The action film “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.” The song playing in its trailer is “Whole Lotta Love.” It’s a track by the British rock band Led Zeppelin, featuring a pop-leaning, guitar-centered melody and a laid-back vocal style.
Incidentally, the lyrics liken a man in love to a baby and depict his growth.
That aspect may well tie in with the movie’s story.
MISSIONMAZZEL
MAZZEL, an artist born from the audition program “MISSION×2,” released a digital-only single in 2023 titled “MISSION.” It was chosen as the Japanese theme song for the film “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” released in March 2023.
“MISSION” was used as the required song during the final round of the audition, and SKY-HI—the rapper and music producer who heads the agency MAZZEL belongs to—personally wrote and composed the track.

Design For LifeManic Street Preachers
Anri Kumaki is a singer who has released many folk songs.
One of her works, Hanamuke no Uta, was created around the theme of what we wish we could tell those who have passed away.
If you, too, feel there’s something you want to say, you’ll surely relate.
The song also gives voice to what the departed might want to tell those left behind.
Of course, we can’t actually exchange words, but listening to this song may bring you a bit of comfort.
Haunted HouseMckenna Grace
Have you all seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife? It’s a true successor that respects the world of the original Ghostbusters while adding fresh elements.
The role of Phoebe, Trevor’s younger sister, is powerfully portrayed by Mckenna Grace.
Remarkably, at just 15, she not only starred as a main cast member in this major film, but she also performed the ending theme, Haunted House.
Even more surprising, the track is her debut single! The slightly horror-flavored music video is a must-see.
Uptown Vibes ft. Fabolous & Anuel AAMeek Mill
“Uptown Vibes” is a track by American rapper Meek Mill, included on his 2018 album Championships.
Created with full determination following the legal troubles that had kept him incarcerated around 2017, the album—with plenty of buzz—debuted at No.
1 on the U.S.
charts.
The song was featured in the trailer for the 2023 live-action film Blue Beetle, based on an American comic-book superhero.
Its track, with a striking melodic riff that repeats, sticks in your head for a while after just one listen.
