Autumn Anisong: Classic Anime Tracks for Deepening Autumn (71–80)
Setting SunYorushika
This song is marked by a melody line that evokes an autumn twilight.
Released in May 2023, it was written as the opening theme for the TV anime “The Dangers in My Heart.” Through scenes bathed in the setting sun, it delicately portrays unreachable feelings of love and shifts in self-esteem.
In the quiet evening calm, it feels as if time has stopped… Listening to it makes your chest tighten.
It’s a track I recommend for those early evenings on your way home from work or school, when you suddenly feel like stopping to look up at the sky.

As an anisong that captures the feeling of autumn, I recommend songs by Ding.
This work is notable for its gentle, tender vocals and the sound of the harp.
Released in January 2024, it was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash.” Ding spent four months creating the track, and its structure is distinctive, with contrasting atmospheres in the first and second halves.
While grounded in her established musical style, it also ventures into new forms of expression.
Be sure to give it a careful listen!
grayKana Hanazawa
Kana Hanazawa, who is also known for singing numerous anime songs.
The track “Haiiro” (Gray) was newly written as the ending theme for the anime Dark Gathering, in which she voices a character.
It’s a song that likens deep sorrow to a gray sky filled with rain.
In the latter half, it suggests that the sky will clear someday.
It seems like a song that could soothe you in tough times.
And because it carries a positive message, it can also be enjoyed as a song of encouragement.
Be sure to check it out along with its beautiful music video.

This is a collaborative song by angela and fripSide.
The collaboration between these popular artists became a hot topic.
The beautiful yet resolute vocals and harmonies are truly stirring.
It serves as the opening theme for the anime Ajin, adapted from the manga that was also made into a live-action film.
Life is short—dream, young maiden.Girlish Number
This song was used as the ending theme for the anime Girlish Number.
It’s sung by the voice cast and was released in 2016.
It’s a very bright, uplifting anthem that fills you with energy when you listen.
The lively sound, with horn section phrases that feel great, is really fun too.
When it comes to major fall events, there’s the school sports day and athletic festival—this would be the perfect uptempo tune for their BGM.
If you’re thinking of making this an active autumn, definitely give it a try.

This is a song by AKINO, also known for performing the theme song of Genesis of Aquarion.
The hard rock sound pairs perfectly with her powerful vocals.

Their well-synchronized harmonies are very pleasant to listen to.
