"Hare Hare Yukai" TV Version Special Ending

Hare Hare Yukai is the ending theme of the TV anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

This song uses a canon progression in E-flat major.

The key progression is E♭ → B♭ → Cm7 → A♭ → B♭, which feels like an arrangement that omits the middle part of a typical canon progression.

It’s a very pleasant arrangement to listen to! It’s also interesting that such an up-tempo anime song uses a canon progression.

You could say that the fact it fits so many kinds of songs is exactly the charm of the canon progression.

God knows… “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya” [Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu] Kadokawa-licensed MAD [Bass Performance]

“God knows…,” the in-story song from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, is famous for the cultural festival live performance.

It gets the crowd going from the very first note, and it’s an anime song that looks cool if you can sing it! The structure is easy to follow, so focus on expressiveness.

First, for the A verse, it’s best to sing quietly and calmly, with clear vowel articulation.

For the B verse, you’re heading toward the chorus, so sing without forcing your voice.

When the melody changes, lift your eyebrows to get ready.

Ride that momentum into the chorus, but be careful not to shout.

Aim to “project into the distance” rather than “yell.” In the last chorus, the key changes and the pitch goes up, so keep the same mindset—“send your voice even farther”! If you just watch the pitch bar honestly, you should be able to aim for a high score!

Lucky☆Star OP 'Motteke! Sailor Fuku' (with lyric subtitles)

The anime Lucky Star gained popularity for its laid-back characters and art style.

Released in the late 2000s and based on a four-panel manga, it won fans with its brisk pacing.

Nowadays, we see similar works like Himouto! Umaru-chan, but at the time, anime and manga featuring such short, chibi-like character designs were rare, which may have contributed to its success.

The theme song, Motteke! Sailor Fuku, is performed by the voice actresses, giving it an extremely cute vibe.

Take It! Sailor Uniform

This is a song used in an anime.

It has the classic feel of an idol/anime song.

It’s hard to sing, but some people might be able to handle it with wotagei instead.

Watching the cute girls sing is absolutely moe-inducing.

Tried Dancing to 'Hare Hare Yukai'? [Tomokazu Sugita / AGRS Channel]

A landmark animated work that defined the 2000s and etched its name into the history of Japanese anime, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Among its highlights is the ending theme, Hare Hare Yukai, whose choreography—performed by the characters and popularly known as the “Haruhi dance”—became a massive sensation, inspiring countless fans to cosplay and dance it themselves.

In 2020, during the stay-at-home period, Aya Hirano, who played Haruhi, posted a tutorial video on her social media, sparking a revival hit.

In this article, we introduce a “tried dancing” video by Tomokazu Sugita, who played Kyon in the series.

It’s hard not to laugh as you watch Sugita dance with a serious expression—even though his moves are nothing like the original choreography!

Lost my music

A presence that meant more than anything has vanished.

This breakup song channels that sense of loss into a powerful sound, leaving you feeling positive by the time it ends.

It was used as an insert song in the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and is sung by Aya Hirano, who played the lead role.

Perhaps because of its high-energy style, you can really feel the desire to deliver these feelings to you.

It’s a great pick not only as an anime song, but also for fans of classic rock.
