The heart is an egg.Kageyama Hironobu
Hironobu Kageyama, a star of the anison world affectionately known as “the Elder,” is beloved by many.
Even those not well-versed in anime songs have likely heard his work at least once.
Among his many masterpieces, the spring-evoking anison I recommend is Kokoro wa Tamago (“The Heart Is an Egg”).
Used as the ending theme for the popular tokusatsu hero series Chojin Sentai Jetman, the song carries the message that “no matter what happens between you and the one you love, if you have the courage to face it, you can resolve the problem.”
