Chatmonchy “Daidai (Orange)” Music Video

This song was used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime BLEACH.

It was written by vocalist Ecchan when she was in high school and had been performed at live shows, but it was released as a single in conjunction with the tie-in.

As one of Chatmonchy’s signature songs, I think it’s a track that both anime fans and band fans can get excited about.

Hamtaro Tottoko SongHam-chans

Tottoko Hamutaro: Hamtaro Tottoko Song (Rock Band Arrangement Version)

This is the first opening theme song of the anime Hamtaro, which was explosively popular among elementary school girls at the time.

The Ham-Hams’ vocals are strikingly youthful and adorable.

It’s an easy song for little kids to learn, so it’s perfect for parents and children to sing together.

The Fuse of Heart-Pounding ExcitementYukari Konno

Fuse of Excitement Tomokari Konno

It’s the ending theme song of Fushigi Yûgi.

I can’t help but cry every time I recall the moving scene of the manly Nuriko.

Tamahome is handsome too, but Hotohori, as a prince of a nation, is also very popular.

I’m sure there were many girls who thought, “I want to be Miaka!”

Clear skies, hallelujahAki Okui

Clear skies, hallelujah

This is the opening theme song for the second season of Magical Circle Guru-Guru.

I’m sure many girls have wanted to go inside Gipple’s tent! It seems fundoshi-wearing girls are trendy lately.

For men, I don’t recommend singing while imitating Kita-Kita Oyaji—you’ll just turn the girls off.

Detective Conan Opening Theme – Nazo – Miho Komatsu (Detective Conan OP)

This is the opening theme song from the early days of the hugely popular detective anime Detective Conan.

For many people, hearing this song brings back memories of Conan solving case after case.

With its melodic tune, it’s also an easy song to sing at karaoke.

When They Cry: HigurashiEiko Shimamiya

When They Cry Opening

Let’s definitely try singing Higurashi no Naku Koro ni from the intro.

It’s a song that Eiko Shimamiya performed when she was with I’ve.

Eiko’s vocals match the lyrics perfectly, making it ideal for summer karaoke.

Be sure to take it home with you!

N-Paka MarchYuka Tokumitsu

Dream Crayon Kingdom OP “N-Paka March”

It’s the opening theme song of the anime “Yume no Crayon Oukoku” (The Crayon Kingdom of Dreams).

Many of you will probably recognize its catchy, bright, and cheerful melody.

It’s the kind of number that gets everyone clapping along and having fun singing together at the after-party karaoke.
