Theme songs and insert songs of NARUTO
We present the theme songs from the anime series of the popular manga Naruto, which was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump.
In Naruto, the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki aspires to become the village’s greatest ninja, embarking on battles and adventures—and the biggest highlight is surely the beautiful friendships depicted throughout the story.
Many of NARUTO’s theme songs are cool, fast-paced tracks, and a lot of them are by rock bands.
This is a playlist I’d like not only Naruto fans, but also rock fans who don’t know Naruto, to listen to.
NARUTO （1〜10）
I Can HearNEW!DISH//
This rock tune is perfect for anyone who wants to feel fresh energy.
DISH//, known for their unique style of dancing while playing instruments, released it in June 2013 as their memorable major-label debut single.
It’s also known for being selected as an ending theme for the popular anime Naruto Shippuden.
The lyrics about moving forward despite uncertainty and the sound that incorporates call-and-response designed for a sense of unity at live shows make you feel positive just by listening.
In 2022, it was re-recorded as part of their 10th-anniversary project, and it continues to be loved as the band’s origin point.
Why not give it a listen when you’re taking on something new or when you need a boost of energy?
silhouetteKANA-BOON
The anime NARUTO, which became a worldwide hit, is widely known for its opening theme used in the Shippuden arc focusing on the characters’ youth, and it attracts many overseas comments on platforms like YouTube.
Popular among Naruto fans, this song is characterized by its bright and uplifting melody.
In the A section, there’s a phrase that repeatedly switches between falsetto and chest voice; while this is largely due to Maguro Taniguchi’s vocal style, it’s perfectly fine to carry it through in chest voice.
Although the overall pitch is on the higher side, the range itself is narrow, making it a relatively easy song to sing.

A delicately drawn song by Humbreaders that captures everyday moments.
The lyrics, which sing of small misunderstandings, nostalgia, and human connections, leave a strong impression.
The message “There’s no reason we can’t be friends” carries the hope of reuniting even when apart.
Released in January 2023, the track was used as the ending theme for the anime BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.
Brimming with Humbreaders’ signature energy, it adds color to listeners’ hearts.
It’s a recommended track for those seeking a fresh perspective on daily life or who have experienced parting with someone important.
