[Princess Songs] A collection of heart-fluttering masterpieces! Princess Song Compilation

Princess KnightMaekawa Yōko

Ribbon no Kishi opening

Is this the original, archetypal anime of the pattern where someone you thought was a prince turns out to be a princess in disguise? The theme song has very few lyrics with long pauses—a really unusual structure.

In fact, the song has both a prince version and a princess version of the lyrics, with differences like ending in “boku” versus “watashi,” hiding the true identity in one and revealing it in the other.

Bright red girlKoizumi Kyoko

Kyoko Koizumi - A Crimson (Bright Red) Girl

Kyoko Koizumi, who was a hugely popular idol, also once played Anmitsu-hime.

In fact, she took on the role for two seasons.

This is a song that was used as the theme for the first season, and it was a hit even as a general release.

She often performed it on shows like The Best Ten.

Tanabata-sama

Tanabata Sama – Tanabata Sama | Sasa leaves rustle, swaying under the eaves [Japanese songs and shoka]

Speaking of Tanabata, it’s all about Orihime.

When July 7th comes around, it’s the classic song everyone sings.

In the song “Tanabata-sama,” it doesn’t explicitly sing about what happens with Orihime and Hikoboshi; instead, it’s sung from our perspective, focusing on how we place our wishes on the Tanabata tanzaku paper strips.

Energetic SmilesSMAP

Smiling Energy

It’s a song by SMAP that was used as the theme for the anime Hime-chan’s Ribbon.

Not only the song, but Tsuyoshi Kusanagi also appeared as a voice actor in the anime, playing Hime-chan’s upperclassman.

You can even see a scene where the Hime-chan voice cast and SMAP face off in a basketball game.

Anmitsu Hime 2 ED Theme Song Diamond Mao Inoue 720p HD

This is a song used in the new Anmitsu Hime drama starring Mao Inoue.

The original is “Diamond,” a hit by Princess Princess, but when you think about why it was used in Anmitsu Hime… perhaps it was a pun, since the band’s name includes the word “Princess.” The details remain shrouded in mystery.

Teresa Foreversasaki isao

Teresa, Forever — Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love, Insert Song, Showa 53 (1978) Version, Full Chorus (Analog Record Audio)

This is the ending theme of Space Battleship Yamato 2.

In fact, the character Teresa is quite mysterious, and her settings differ in the theatrical version and later remakes, so it’s a bit questionable whether she can really be called a princess.

However, in terms of her role, she’s similar to the “princess position” character that often appears in stories like this, so I think it’s fine to call her a princess.

The Star of the Seinearēnu

The Star of the Seine OP

It’s the theme song of the anime “The Star of the Seine.” The protagonist, Simone, is actually the younger sister of Princess Marie Antoinette, but she herself doesn’t know it—that’s the premise.

The singer appears to be French, and you can hear the accent, which actually gives a positive impression.

Incidentally, there’s also a version sung by Mitsuko Horie, and it seems her version was used for the ending, at least in the early episodes.
