His seventh single, “Peace Sign,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime My Hero Academia, features a high-velocity rock ensemble that really gets your adrenaline pumping.
Its message—keep moving forward no matter what awaits in the future—feels especially rousing in spring, a season of new beginnings.

It’s the opening theme of the anime “D.C.III ~Da Capo III~.” It’s sung by the voice actors who appear in the series and was released as a single in 2013.
It’s a very cute electronic tune that fills you with energy as you listen.
The lyrics are packed with a straightforward feeling of “I really love you,” which is irresistibly heart-throbbing.
It kind of makes you want to fall in love, doesn’t it? Spring is the season of love, so let this song boost your romantic mood!
I Am SetsunaRobai Gakuen Chūtōbu 1-nen 3-kumi
Here’s a song I’d like to recommend to anyone starting at a new school this spring.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime “Akebi’s Sailor Uniform,” performed by the show’s voice cast.
Its light rhythm built on a four-on-the-floor beat, buoyant guitar sound, and majestic strings leave a strong impression.
The music evokes an image of a bright blue sky stretching endlessly overhead.
The lyrics, filled with feelings for the friends who stay by your side, are moving—and they’ll cheer you on in your school life!

This is a single released under the name Kanon Nakagawa, a character from the anime The World God Only Knows, performed by Nao Toyama, who works as a voice actress and artist.
With a gentle sound centered on piano and strings and lyrics that evoke school memories anyone can relate to, it embodies the classic style of a graduation song.
Precisely because the expression is so straightforward, the hope for the future depicted in the lyrics comes through clearly and directly.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN is a three-piece rock band known for songs that feature a distinctive high-tone voice and for their intense live performances.
Their 14th single, “Haru ga Kite Bokura,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime March Comes in Like a Lion, offers a refreshing rock ensemble highlighted by string sounds that feels wonderfully pleasant.
The straightforward arrangement, free of their trademark tricky gimmicks, brings their high-quality melodies even more to the forefront.

It’s a track released in 2001 by the girl band ZONE, and even though they’ve since disbanded, it remains a beloved classic.
While it may have a summery image, it’s also a song I’d love you to listen to in spring, a season full of meetings and farewells.
