A timeless masterpiece that lets you feel the cosmos. A space-themed song filled with dreams and love, evoking starry skies and galaxies.
What kind of music do you think of when you hear “space”? If we limit ourselves to just the word “space,” the scope might feel narrow, but there are songs that capture it from many angles—like the moon and the stars.
This is a playlist packed with theme songs from TV anime and films that use space as a motif, as well as masterpieces that feature planets, stars, and the moon in their titles.
While researching, I was surprised to find that many space-themed songs are essentially love songs.
How romantic.

Masterpieces that let you feel the cosmos. Space-themed songs filled with dreams and love that evoke starry skies and galaxies (1–10)
UniverseOfisharu Higedan Dism
As a song by Official HIGE DANDism, now a nationally beloved pop band, chosen as the theme for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Little Star Wars 2021, it carries a warm mood—something kids can easily connect with among the band’s works.
It draws you in, enhancing immersion as if you’re watching a film.
That said, HIGEDAN’s signature soulful quality remains intact.
The introspective, self-questioning lyrics really hit home.
And the worldview is vast and colorful, like outer space.
The groove of “Universe” awakens that sense of excitement within me.
BEYOND THE TIME (Beyond the Möbius Universe)TM NETWORK
TM NETWORK is a musical unit loved across generations.
They wrote “BEYOND THE TIME ~Across the Möbius Universe~” as the theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack.
First, let’s touch on the “Möbius strip.” This refers to a strip of paper twisted and joined into a loop.
In the song, the phrase “Möbius of ____” is used to express an endless cycle, evoking a sense of the vastness of the universe.
Galaxy Express 999Godiego
An anime loved across borders: from Galaxy Express 999, it’s “Galaxy Express 999”! From the intro and the opening line “Now, let’s go,” you can feel the thrill of setting off toward space.
From the B section into the chorus, it lifts you up so pleasantly; after the second chorus, the keyboard’s expansive solo soars; and the repeated chorus evokes an endless sense of eternity.
It’s enough to make you feel as if you’re riding the Galaxy Express bound for the stars.

Take me away to the edge of the galaxyFurederikku
Frederic is a rock band that has won popularity for its one-of-a-kind worldbuilding.
When it comes to songs that evoke their sense of the cosmos, “Abduct Me to the Edge of the Galaxy” stands out.
It’s a track included on the album Leisurely Immersion Migration Log.
The song expresses a desire to go somewhere far away with a loved one, likening that distant place to outer space.
The lyrics are wonderfully romantic, and the sound also captures a sense of speed, as if hurtling toward the cosmos.
Interstellar FlightRanka Rī
Set against the backdrop of space, this work, depicting a grand tale of romance and adventure, was released in June 2008 as Ranka Lee (voiced by Megumi Nakajima)’s debut single.
Used as an insert song in the anime Macross Frontier, it swiftly captured the hearts of fans.
Its sparkling melody and refreshing vocals make you feel as if you’re journeying through the galaxy.
The distinctive chorus phrase weaves romance into the boundless theme of the cosmos, radiating a unique charm that sets listeners’ hearts dancing.
The sound, which seems to carry dreams and hopes, inspires the courage to pursue your dreams beyond your limits.
It’s a recommended song for those moments when you want to open your heart, imagining people shining under a starry sky.
Solar System Disco (ft. Hatsune Miku)Nayutan Seijin
Nayutan Seijin, who works as a “Vocaloid producer from outer space.” Have you checked out his album, Object Y from Planet Nayutan? The album features tracks related to space, and the one I especially want to highlight is Solar System Disco.
It’s a song that likens the entire solar system to a disco, complete with powerful male chorus parts, giving it a festive vibe.
Give it a listen if you want a track that really gets you hyped while letting you feel the cosmos.
Moonlight Galaxysōtaisei riron
A band known for many philosophical songs, Soutaiseiriron.
From their album “Synchroniciteen,” I’d like to introduce “Moonlight Galaxy.” This one has a super slow tempo and a gentle, soothing feel.
It runs a bit long at around six minutes, which lets you really savor the performance and vocals.
By the way, the points that evoke space are where words like “galaxy” appear in the lyrics.
It’s rich in metaphor, so it’s fun to ponder what kind of scenes it’s depicting.
