Sugarless KissSuzuko Mimori
It’s a pop tune used as the ending theme for the anime Odd Taxi.
It’s sung by Suzuko Mimori, the voice actress who also appeared in the series as Rui Nikaido.
Released as a digital single in 2021, it’s an electronic number with a somewhat nostalgic, idol-song vibe that feels soothing with its fluffy sound.
The lyrics, portraying a maiden’s heart swaying with excitement, carry a touch of bittersweetness.
Isn’t it the perfect song to listen to at night?

How about some anime songs that can lift your spirits? This is the opening theme of the anime Kemono Friends, which became a huge hit almost immediately after it aired in 2017.
It’s sung by the voice cast, with lyrics and composition by Masayoshi Oishi, who is also active as a singer.
The way the song keeps building one section after another alone is enough to get you pumped! As you listen, you’ll find yourself wanting to sing along.
I highly recommend enjoying it together with the anime itself.
Sound sleep! Peaceful sleep! A Suyarist lifestylePrincess Syalis (VA: Inori Minase)
Despite having the theme of “peaceful sleep,” it’s a lively and fun anison! This track was used as the opening theme for the anime Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle.
It’s sung by Inori Minase, who plays the protagonist, Princess Syalis.
The lyrics faithfully reflect the anime’s story, and the catchy melody really sticks with you.
It’s a humor-filled piece that even incorporates a parody of Seikima-II’s “House of Wax.” Perfect for when you want to lift your spirits!
Tokyo Shandy RendezvousMAISONdes feat. KAF, Tsumiki
The remake of the anime Urusei Yatsura garnered overwhelming support from younger generations.
“Tokyo Shandy Rendezvous” is the theme song for the remake version and also became a topic of discussion in Japan as a meme related to Teikyo Heisei University.
The vocal range is mid1 F# to high D, but the most frequently appearing high note is high E, so it’s best to adjust the key with an emphasis on making that note easier to sing.
sentimental journeyYU-KI
Countless people have been soothed and encouraged by her singing voice.
YUKI, who served as the frontwoman of the rock band JUDY AND MARY and is now active as a solo singer, released this song as a single in 2003.
The warm acoustic band sound is pleasant to listen to and pairs beautifully with YUKI’s clear, expansive vocals.
The lyrics, which express a longing to see a loved one, carry a slightly wistful tone, yet overall the piece is calming and comforting.
Mirai to MiraiMirai Akari
It’s an upbeat dance-rock tune that’s catchy and easy to groove to! It’s a track by virtual YouTuber Mirai Akari, released in 2019 as her second single.
The lyrics and composition were done by Vocaloid producer NayutalieN.
It features a lively rhythm, guitar sound, and bouncy synth phrases.
Its bright vibe will make you want to start dancing.
With positive, self-themed lyrics that lift you up, it’s a super-energizing song—definitely give it a listen!
