Good luck! Ms. Spider's Theme“I” (CV: Aoi Yūki)
It’s a high-energy number that makes your body sway on its own! It’s the opening theme for the anime “So I’m a Spider, So What?”, based on the light novel by Baba Okina, sung by Aoi Yuki, who plays the protagonist “Me.” After a denpa-song-style start, it suddenly shifts into an enka-like section—an incredibly unique result.
You’ll be overwhelmed by how it races from start to finish.
And Aoi Yuki’s voice, said to have seven colors, is astonishing, isn’t it? Be sure to enjoy it together with the anime!
Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanSaori Hayami

Voice actor and artist Saori Hayami’s irresistibly cute vocals and the lyrics that are almost shamelessly adorable sparked huge buzz, and the MV’s choreography went explosively viral on social media, inspiring countless covers.
Its world that wholeheartedly affirms the self gives you a powerful boost.
And when you sing it at karaoke, don’t be shy—lean into the cuteness and really play up the “kawaii” factor.

You might end up turning into a whisper-voiced Uriko.
It’s one of the signature songs by Chara, a singer who has long been at the forefront of the Japanese music scene, released in 1997 as her 14th single.
The spacious, laid-back sound arrangement pairs beautifully with Chara’s sweet, gentle vocal work.
It somehow calms the heart, as if you’re being carried straight off into a dream world.

From a gentle intro highlighted by the piano’s timbre to a brisk, driving rock sound—the transition alone is electrifying.
Chihiro’s earnest, heartfelt vocals are deeply moving, making this a truly touching piece.

As a quintessential “denpa song,” it remains a popular piece that continues to be widely supported to this day.
The melody and lyrics are so distinctive that once you hear it even once, it sticks in your head.
For people who like this kind of work, it feels like “this is it!” in terms of its style.
In a way, it could even be called a textbook example of a denpa song.
