Burning HeroHiroyuki Okita
A towering landmark of anime songs that sings of dreams and passion over samba rhythms and a catchy melody! This masterpiece briskly and humorously portrays the presence, skill, and influence of an ace player.
Hiroyuki Okita’s refreshing vocals brilliantly capture the allure of soccer and the throbbing energy of youth.
Released in 1983 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Captain Tsubasa, it became a classic that helped spark the soccer boom.
In 2018, it was remade by Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight.
It’s a song that powerfully pushes the backs of everyone striving toward their dreams—not just soccer fans—and one we highly recommend you listen to.
Plan ADISH//
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.

Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
This is an anime tie-in song that stirs the heart with an exhilarating melody and powerful beat.
Packed with Vaundy’s love for anime, the track powerfully conveys the protagonist’s determination and courage to keep moving forward.
Its richly layered sound—recorded in London—vividly depicts the struggles the protagonist faces while trying to live a normal life despite a past as an assassin, along with the strength to press on regardless.
Released in January 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, the song’s dynamic energy pairs perfectly with the action-packed series, making you feel as if you’re sprinting alongside the hero.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to take a new step or need the courage to face challenges.
The world that was transparentMotohiro Hata
This is a heartwarming song crafted by Motohiro Hata as the opening theme for the anime Naruto Shippuden.
Released in August 2010, its sweeping message—reflecting on what has been lost and the resolve to move forward after parting—ties in with the story.
The pop-rock melody, centered on acoustic guitar, is layered with powerful vocals that harmonize beautifully with the anime’s world.
This work is Hata’s 10th single, released in three editions: First Press Limited, Limited Period, and Regular, and it reached No.
13 on the Oricon Weekly Chart.
It’s a song that resonates deeply with those who have experienced parting from someone important or are trying to face events from their past.
UN-APEXTK from Ling tosite sigure
This track has been selected as the ending theme for the anime Solo Leveling Season 2.
The song is characterized by a tone that conveys heated coldness, showcasing a distinctive musicality that syncs seamlessly with the anime’s worldview.
Scheduled for digital release on January 5, 2025, the piece reflects TK’s delicate yet passionate approach and has a compelling power that draws listeners in.
The lyrics portray complex emotions and inner conflict, and the emotional vocals leave a strong impression.
It’s a recommended listen not only for anime fans but also for those seeking inventive music.
SpeechlessYuma Uchida
Speaking of Yuma Uchida, he’s a voice actor who’s really hot right now.
He tends to play supporting roles rather than leads, but that uniquely smoky voice of his often elevates the work and brings out the best in the roles he takes on.
For me, when I think of Yuma Uchida, it’s the tear-jerking scenes in Iron-Blooded Orphans that come to mind—but what scenes do you associate with his voice?
Mazinger ZIchiro Mizuki
A giant in the voice acting world, affectionately called “Aniki” by young voice actors and anime fans.
I’m in my 50s, but he was already active before I was born—a true heavyweight of the industry.
Even if you don’t know Mazinger Z, you probably recognize “Pilder On!” or the elongated “Zeeeeeeeeet!!!!,” or that oddly wide, red scarf.
Mizuki’s singing voice—carrying anime songs through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras—is a must-hear.
