Anison Kouhaku 98-12: Aim for the Ace! — Kumiko Ōsugi

Aiming for the Ace! is Suzue Miuchi Yamamoto’s sports manga, serialized in Weekly Margaret from 1973, famous for sparking a tennis boom.

The story follows a protagonist who joins the tennis club out of admiration, suffers bullying after being chosen as the club’s representative, and overcomes those hardships to grow into a top-tier player.

That narrative can also be felt in the opening theme song.

Set to a bright-sounding arrangement, the track seems to express the determination of a player who fights in solitude.

World Masterpiece Theater – A Dog of Flanders OP: The Road at Dawn

Based on the children’s novel written in the 19th century by the British female author Ouida, “A Dog of Flanders” was produced in Japan as an animated work in 1975.

It has been passed down as a story about the friendship between a poor boy, Nello, and the old dog, Patrasche, culminating in a sad ending centered on painting.

Despite this, the opening theme song carries no sense of grimness; as its title suggests, it evokes the bright atmosphere of dawn and even conjures an image of joyful dancing.
