Uplifting Anime Songs: A Collection of Classics to Blow Away the Blues (51–60)
Welcome to Japari Parkdōbutsu bisuketsu × PPP
How about an upbeat tune that’ll make you want to shout, “Now this is an anime song!” It’s the opening theme of the anime Kemono Friends, released in 2017 as a single by Doubutsu Biscuits × PPP.
The high-energy sound and melody are particularly striking—once you hear it, it sticks in your head and you’ll want to listen again right away.
By the way, the lyrics and composition were done by Masayoshi Oishi, the musician also known under the name Oishi Masayoshi.
Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO dō
Back then, there must have been many people glued to their TVs.
This is the first opening theme of the anime Ojamajo Doremi.
It was released in 1999 as MAHO-dou’s debut single.
It’s a bright song with an unmistakably energetic vibe and cheerful vocals that leave a strong impression.
Even after many years since its release, it still ranks high on karaoke anime song charts.
I bet there are women out there who can sing it without even looking at the lyrics.
Starting Oversumika
Starting Over has been gaining support as a cheer song.
It’s a track by the rock band sumika, created as the opening theme for the anime MIX MEISEI STORY: Second Summer, Beyond the Sky.
The song passionately conveys the feelings of the baseball team’s protagonist as he enters his second summer.
With lyrics that powerfully push you forward, it’s something both viewers of the anime and those who haven’t seen it can relate to.
Its refreshing, summer-perfect sound is also a major draw.
Smile BombMawatari Matsuko
This is the opening theme of Yu Yu Hakusho.
It was released in 1992 as Matsuko Mawatari’s second single.
Her powerful, bright vocals are a pleasure to listen to.

Flying DeityAyase×R-shitei
Hiten, a digital single chosen as the opening theme for the newly remade 2023 TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.
Created by R-Shitei—known from Creepy Nuts and Umeda Cipher—and Ayase, active as a Vocaloid producer and a member of YOASOBI, the track’s breakneck call-and-response creates a thrilling ensemble that really amps you up.
The lyrics, which link to the anime’s story, evoke a universal theme: even in doubt, you can only keep moving forward.
It’s a track that lingers with the striking contrast between aggressive rap and lyrical melody.
Until the World Ends…WANDS
This is the song used as the ending theme for season 2 of the anime adaptation of the classic basketball manga SLAM DUNK.
It’s a massive hit by WANDS, a flagship band of the Being music scene, released in 1994 as their eighth single.
The song sings about the hope of dreaming of tomorrow, and perhaps because of its message and soaring vocals, it really stirs the emotions.
For example, someone currently nursing a crush might find the courage to confess after listening.
Incidentally, it’s also a very popular choice for karaoke.
Share The WorldTōhōshinki
A danceable track that perfectly matches the world of the hugely popular anime ONE PIECE! Its exhilarating, summer-ready electro sound and the powerful vocals of Tohoshinki vividly color Luffy and his crew’s grand adventure.
The theme of sharing the world with your friends and pushing ever forward evokes the passionate bonds portrayed in the story.
Released as a single in April 2009, this song was used as the opening theme for the anime’s 11th season.
It became the best-selling ONE PIECE theme song to date and was also included on the greatest hits album BEST SELECTION 2010.
It’s a courage-boosting number you’ll want to play when striving toward goals with your friends or when you need to lift your spirits.
