[Official Video] Minori Chihara – Paradise Lost – 茅原実里

A number by Minori Chihara, the voice actress best known for playing Yuki Nagato in the Haruhi Suzumiya series.

It was used as the theme song for the anime Ga-Rei: Zero, based on the original work by Hajime Segawa.

The powerful vocals characteristic of a voice actress and the harmony with the dramatic strings really amp up the excitement.

While the strings play a prominent melody, they never interfere with Chihara’s vocals, instead elevating the song immensely.

No pain, No gamenano

No pain, No game / Nano Music Video (short ver.)

It’s the opening song of the anime BTOOOM!.

Nano, who was born in the United States, was inspired by Japanese anime to pursue a career as a singer and has been active by making use of English, her native language.

No pain, No game is an intense song that keeps you on the edge from start to finish.

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA

LiSA “Gurenge” -MUSIC CLIP YouTube EDIT ver.-

Rock heroine LiSA has many high-energy rock numbers, and this song is one of them! It was selected as the opening theme for the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, based on Koyoharu Gotouge’s original work.

Up to the first chorus, it’s a bit restrained, but that makes the chorus hit all the harder with LiSA’s characteristically cool vocals, lifting the listener’s excitement.

In the second verse, a rush of densely packed lyrics builds before the chorus, crafted to feel like a quickening heartbeat leading into the hook.

Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika

Aim to be a Pokémon Master

It’s the first opening theme of the national hit anime “Pokémon.” Since it’s a song everyone knows, it always gets the crowd going at karaoke.

No matter how many times I hear it, the chorus lyrics really move me.

It’s a track that makes you feel like you can recover what’s important in your heart.

Kaikai KitanEVE

Kaikai Kitan – Eve MV

Kaikai Kitan is a song created by singer-songwriter Eve, who is also hugely popular as a Vocaloid producer, as the opening theme for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen.

Jujutsu Kaisen is an action anime in which the protagonist, Yuji Itadori, enrolls in a jujutsu school and battles various enemies while helping and relying on his friends.

That’s the story in brief, but when discussing the song, the lyrical worldview is indispensable.

It uses many words that even Japanese people don’t often hear.

It matches the anime’s world and feels intricately crafted.

A Cruel Angel’s ThesisTakahashi Yoko

A Cruel Angel's Thesis – Yoko Takahashi (Full)

The opening theme to the anime everyone knows, Neon Genesis Evangelion, sung by Yoko Takahashi.

Even though the song starts quietly, it somehow gets your heart racing, and then that tension is released when the intro suddenly shifts with a bang! It’s loved not only by people who know the anime, but also by those who haven’t seen it, and it’s a karaoke favorite.

It’s the kind of song where if one person starts singing, everyone can join in chorus—something everyone listening can enjoy and get excited about.

That’s part of its charm.

You don’t just listen to it; you can actually sing along and raise your energy as you go.
