It’s probably a song that even people who aren’t from that generation know.

It’s the opening theme of Sally the Witch, one of the iconic Showa-era anime series based on the manga by Mitsuteru Yokoyama.

It’s funny how just listening to it somehow makes you feel nostalgic.

That kind of retro vibe might actually feel stylish in today’s world.

Rather than singing it as a karaoke number, it seems better suited as background music for a stage event.

It would fit well with a themed segment like a “magical makeover showdown,” for example.

It’s the song from Anpanman that everyone, young and old, knows.

You might think it’s just for children, but the lyrics are nothing to scoff at.

They were written by Takashi Yanase, the creator of Anpanman.

They speak to truths about life and gently resonate in your heart.
