SurvivorBLUE ENCOUNT
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is a work that depicts the harsh battles of child soldiers.
In the first season, the song used as the opening theme for the second cour was “Survivor,” which reached 10th place on the Oricon weekly chart.
Welcome to Japari Parkdōbutsu bisuketsu × PPP
The multimedia franchise Kemono Friends rapidly gained recognition after its TV anime, which aired in 2017, became a hit.
The opening theme, Welcome to Japari Park, is performed by a unit of the voice cast, and reached a peak position of 18 on the Oricon charts.
Become a flowerRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-member pop-rock band.
They created “Hana ni Natte” as the opening theme for the anime The Apothecary Diaries.
It’s an up-tempo rock tune with lyrics that celebrate living beautifully like a flower.
It’s enjoyable on its own, of course, but it’s also highly recommended to watch it together with the opening sequence.
The motion in the anime links with the song, letting you feel the theme even more.
Another major appeal is how the lyrics connect with the story.
Walk This WayTHE BEAT GARDEN
A very stylish electronic number that conveys a firm resolve to carve out one’s own path.
Originally appearing as a mobile game and later expanded through various media, Rage of Bahamut featured this song as the opening theme for its anime series, Rage of Bahamut: VIRGIN SOUL.
Performed by the music group THE BEAT GARDEN, it was released in 2017.
The high-impact sound arrangement and powerful vocals are seriously cool!
Invisible SensationUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This razor-sharp rock sound sets my mood on fire! It’s a track by the band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, also known for hits like “Sugar Song and Bitter Step,” and it was used as the opening theme for the anime Welcome to the Ballroom.
Released in 2017 as their 12th single, it’s an upbeat number where the bright guitar phrases shine over a four-on-the-floor rhythm.
Sing it at karaoke and you’re almost guaranteed to have a blast!
Goodbye, BystanderYU-KI
It’s light, fast-paced, and it really brings you to tears.
The song is by singer YUKI, who has performed many popular hits like “JOY” and “Melancholinista,” and it was released in 2017 as her 31st single.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime March Comes in Like a Lion, which follows the story of professional shogi player Rei Kiriyama.
The lyrics—about “protecting for life the precious person who saved the me that was about to give up”—really hit home.
When you’re anxious about the future or unsure where you’re headed, this piece will stay by your side.
I want to be friends.Gakuen Seikatsu-bu
If you’re looking for a cute anison, how about this one? It’s the opening theme for the anime School-Live!, which is based on a manga that ran in Manga Time Kirara Forward.
The characters’ voice actresses perform it under the name “School Living Club.” The anime’s story is a bit grim, following a survival life in a world overrun by zombies, but the song itself is super cute and catchy.
That contrast really gets you.
