fripSide Popular Song Ranking [2026]
only my railgunfripSide1rank/position
Not only A Certain Scientific Railgun, the series in which this song plays, but also the other “A Certain” title, A Certain Magical Index, is popular, so in a sense pachinko parlors are packed with “A Certain.” Lately, more arcades have been installing these gaming machines too.
The best part of this song is, hands down, the electronic sound! Even those who aren’t fond of technopop will likely find it pleasant to the ear.
The lyrics are powerful as well, likening life to an adventure with lines like, “I’ll keep moving forward even into an uncertain future.” There are also videos that compile songs from the “A Certain” series, so check them out if you’re interested!
LEVEL5-judgelight-fripSide2rank/position
A song from the smash-hit, fan-favorite series A Certain Scientific Railgun—instantly recognizable to pachinko fans just by saying “Toaru.” Incidentally, this machine is the trendy Type 1/Type 2 hybrid, and models equipped with the highest-tier mode are even more popular.
Many of you have probably played it.
The track hooks you with an intense opening that makes you think, “Is this the chorus right off the bat?”—it grabs your heart within the first 10 seconds of the intro! The lyrics, which portray a strong-willed girl who believes, “I won’t hesitate because I have something I trust,” have a charming, youthful feel.
It’s a must-listen even if you’re short on time!
memory of snowfripSide3rank/position
This song, with a sound that evokes a nostalgic 90s vibe, is by fripSide.
It was included as the B-side to 2010’s “LEVEL5-judgelight,” which was used as the opening theme for A Certain Scientific Railgun.
It conveys a fleeting atmosphere that conjures up wintry scenes of falling snow, and the guitar riffs are really cool.
Another highlight is the crystal-clear vocals of Yoshino Nanjō, who joined as the new vocalist after nao’s departure.
Love with YoufripSide4rank/position
This song was released as the opening theme for the anime ‘Boarding School Juliet.’ Its refreshing and cute sound matches the school-themed anime perfectly.
The intro really lifts your spirits.
future gazerfripSide5rank/position
With the theme of “keeping the flame of digital J-POP alive,” this is the fourth single overall from fripSide, a three-member co-ed music unit popular for songs that resonate with anime and gaming culture.
Chosen as the opening theme for the original video anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, its brisk synth sound contrasted with a cute vocal tone really lifts your spirits.
The melody itself is simple, so if the original key isn’t an issue for you, it’s a pop tune you can sing comfortably.
I am myselfangela×fripSide6rank/position
This is a collaborative song by angela and fripSide.
The collaboration between these popular artists became a hot topic.
The beautiful yet resolute vocals and harmonies are truly stirring.
It serves as the opening theme for the anime Ajin, adapted from the manga that was also made into a live-action film.
Black BulletfripSide7rank/position
This is a track from fripSide—known for their intensely cool songs—that was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Black Bullet.
While creating a weighty impression through extensive use of chorus, the quietly flowing piano lends an air of elegance.
The particularly ear-catching chorus sharply shifts the song’s mood, as the flowing vocals up to that point suddenly turn into a near-shout.
It’s a compelling piece with a powerful impact.
white forcesfripSide8rank/position
This is the opening theme of the TV anime Schwarzesmarken, which aired in 2016.
I think the vocals’ melody and the piano arrangement alone convey a wintry feel.
I highly recommend it for its upbeat vibe.
Red LiberationfripSide9rank/position
A vampire-themed track that’s perfect for Halloween.
Released by fripSide in October 2023, this song was chosen as the opening theme for the anime “The Vexations of a Shut-In Vampire Princess.” Its powerful sound puts a rock flavor front and center! The exhilarating progression and choral harmonies feel great, making it a number that’s sure to light up live shows.
It’s a fiery anison that conveys a strong will to overcome fate.
dual existencefripSide10rank/position
“dual existence,” chosen as the opening theme for the anime A Certain Magical Index III, which centers on psychic powers.
It was produced by fripSide, a music unit known for numerous anime songs, and it lets you fully savor their electronic sound.
Vocalist Yoshino Nanjō’s high notes are truly beautiful.
The quintessential anime-song synth sound is a must-hear.
It’s crafted in a way that also brings back the vibe of the previous series, so it’s likely to be a hit at karaoke even with people from different generations!
