Togetherakiyoshi fumie
Fumie Akiyoshi’s song is a lively track that portrays the adventures and growth of Pokémon Trainers.
The lyrics convey the courage to climb high mountains and the excitement of new encounters.
Released in November 2006, it was used as the opening theme for Pokémon Diamond & Pearl.
It became a long-running hit, remaining in use for two years.
It’s perfect not only for Pokémon fans but also for anyone ready to take on new challenges.
Give it a listen as a motivational song that inspires you to face forward with courage!
MAGIC OF LOVETOo’S
The suspicious-sounding intro and melody get stuck in your head.
It’s the opening theme of the anime “Magical Circle Guru Guru,” based on the manga by Hiroyuki Eto.
The artist TOo’S is a vocal unit featuring actress Ranran Suzuki as the singer.
Her voice has a sultry quality that’s wonderful.
The upbeat lyrics, filled with anticipation for the future, are very anime-like and excellently done.
The musical style is rhythmic psychedelic music—an addictive number, to be sure.
Dreaming Love AngelFURIL
The opening theme of Wedding Peach, a series that ran in the shoujo manga magazine Ciao.
This song also served as FURIL’s debut single.
The coupling track, 21st-Century Juliet, was also used as the anime’s ending theme.
FURIL was a group formed by Kyoko Hikami, Yukana Nogami, and Yuko Miyamura, who voiced characters in the anime; later, Yuka Imai joined and the group was renamed FURIL’.
I’ll be the oneHΛL
The opening theme of the anime “Hikaru no Go.” HΛL, who handled the track, is a group that composes, arranges, and sound-produces music for artists.
“Hikaru no Go” is an anime centered on the board game Go, and it sparked a Go boom among elementary and middle school students.
Some even went on to become professional players! It’s a song that gives a strong push to those who are ready to take on battles on the Go board.
Kokoro-eroodo obu mejyaa
It’s a song that’s also popular as a sports cheering anthem! It’s a signature work by the rock band Road of Major, released in 2004 as their major-label debut single.
The lyrics convey a determination to push forward, even recklessly, and they really stir the emotions.
Combined with the powerful sound, it’s the kind of track that wells up from deep inside.
I bet there are people who used to listen to this on their way to school—especially those who were on the baseball team, since it was the opening theme for the baseball anime Major: 1st Season.
Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika
This is the debut theme song of the anime Pokémon, a track that sold over one million copies.
It’s widely known across generations, so it should be perfect for parent-child duets at karaoke.
Some people can probably sing it without looking at the lyrics.
It’s fair to call it a timeless anime song that deserves to be passed down.
voiceCLOUD
The trading card game Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG is enjoyed all around the world.
Are there any of you who still play it even in your 30s? Here’s the very first opening theme from the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.
It’s a track by the visual kei rock band CLOUD, released as their debut single in 2000.
The way it moves from the opening vocals into a fast-paced intro is incredibly hype! Listening to it might just make you want to duel again.
