Ro-Ro-Ro-Russian RouletteNakahara Meiko
Dirty Pair, which began airing in 1985, is an anime set in a futuristic world.
It follows Kei and Yuri, a pair of beautiful trouble consultants with the codename “Lovely Angels,” as they solve a variety of problems.
The opening theme, sung by Meiko Nakahara—who also scored a big hit with “Kimitachi Kiwi Papaya Mango da ne”—is a track richly infused with late-1980s pop sensibilities that really captures the spirit of the era.
65535Nakagawa Shoko
“65535” is a song by Shoko Nakagawa that sings of love and the dignity of the individual buffeted by the digital age.
It was selected as the opening theme for the anime “16bit Sensation: ANOTHER LAYER,” which draws on 1990s bishoujo game culture.
The track expresses emotions swaying between an electronic backdrop and the real world, set to a catchy melody.
With a somewhat nostalgic tone, it’s a recommended listen not only for digital natives but also for those who lived through the analog era.
What a romantic night.Nakamori Akina
EPO, who scored hits as a singer-songwriter with songs like “Saturday Night is Paradise” and “U, Fu, Fu, Fu,” is a leading artist of 1980s J-pop.
Here is a song she provided to Akina Nakamori.
With both lyrics and music by EPO, this track gives the impression of stylish, urban sophistication characteristic of the era.
The alternating sections—some with a driving beat and others with a floating, airy feel—likely make it easier to express yourself when singing it at karaoke.
The Start of RomanceNogizaka 46
A refreshing Nogizaka46 number that portrays the feelings of unrequited love.
The sudden shock of falling in love and the protagonist’s confusion are expressed with delicate nuance.
The scene of a bicycle chasing a bus symbolizes that bittersweet feeling of wanting to get closer to the one you like but lacking the courage.
Released in April 2014, it was also used as the theme song for House Foods’ “Mega Shaki” commercial.
In the music video, Nanase Nishino serves as center for the first time, and a love story unfolds from a university student’s perspective.
It’s a perfect song not only for those who can relate to pure, innocent feelings of love, but also for anyone who wants to find the courage to take a step forward.
Rock With YouKubota Toshinobu
This is a live video of Toshinobu Kubota covering Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You.” The chic feel of the electric piano, along with the funky backing guitar and vocals, creates a charm that’s different from the original.
The way he infuses any song with his unmistakable Kubota style must be his true talent.
The sixth stationHisaishi Joe
It is used in the scene where Chihiro, swaying on the train, heads to see Zeniba in order to save Haku.
The scenery visible through the train windows and the passengers who appear like shadowy silhouettes create a lonely atmosphere full of nostalgia—an enigmatic piece for a mysterious scene like that.
Robot Soldiers (Revival ~ Rescue)Hisaishi Joe
Among the characters in Castle in the Sky (Laputa), the Robot Soldier is especially important.
This is the theme song that spans from the robot’s reactivation to the rescue.
It’s a compelling track that shifts from a somewhat dope, eerie atmosphere in the first half to a suddenly fast-paced sound.
The piano, brimming with drive and tension, is incredibly cool—a must-listen.
Be sure to watch the film and listen while feeling the mounting suspense leading up to the rescue.
