The anime Shinobi no Ittoki aired in the fall of 2022.

The ending theme used is Oboetate.

It’s a song by the three-piece rock band Kurokousu.

It portrays the hardships and sorrows that befall a parent and child, while conveying that their bond remains unchanged.

It’s also worth noting the various contrasts employed.

For example, the subdued singing in the first half highlights the intense chorus, and the perspective shifts between the first and second verses.

Revolution’s Takanori Nishikawa and the popular band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas became a hot topic.

The result is a cool, fast-paced track that perfectly suits a battle anime.

The anime Ranking of Kings: The Treasure Chest of Courage depicts a boy’s adventure and growth.

Aimer wrote the ending theme for it, Atemonaku.

It’s a passionate ballad that showcases her expressive power to the fullest.

Beyond her overwhelming vocal prowess, I also want to highlight the song’s strong message.

Throughout, it affirms every failure and tells us that they lead to future growth.

It’s sure to stir anyone’s heart.

Try putting it on as background music for a leisurely autumn afternoon.

PROVE (Theme Song of the anime “BURN THE WITCH #0.8”) - NiL – [Official Audio Video]

As a song that matches the feeling of autumn, I’d like to introduce a work by NiL.

Released in December 2023, this track was chosen as the theme song for the anime “BURN THE WITCH #0.

8.” Set to a sentimental melody, it sings about proving one’s existence.

The message that “things go well when the two of us are together” really resonates.

It’s the perfect song for the busy autumn season—when you’re feeling a bit down or want to motivate yourself.

Give it a listen in a spare moment and recharge your energy.

Embrace of light, which was chosen as the ending theme for the anime Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood, is a song by RAISE A SUILEN, a band born from the next-generation mixed-media girls’ band project BanG Dream!, released in 2021.

No matter what happens, as long as we’re together, we can overcome anything.

The lyrics depict a grand love that vows to always be together, loving and living side by side.

The melody, which further brings out the love expressed in the lyrics, will warm you up as autumn’s chill begins to set in.
