Cute Anime Song Special: From the 1970s to Today!

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

Anison—anime songs—are a crucial element that brings color to anime.

In a sense, they’re the “face” of a series, and anison lyrics and melodies are generally tailored to fit each work.

This time, we’ve picked out tracks with especially cute vibes from among those anison.

Rather than being simply girly and cute, our ranking also leans into the emotional side.

From recent anime to bona fide classics, and even lesser-known cute anison from the past, we’ve selected songs from a variety of perspectives.

Please sit back, relax, and enjoy to the very end!

Cute Anime Songs Special: From the 70s to Today! (21–30)

I'm a popular kid.Akiko Yano

Crayon Shin-chan, I'm a popular kid.

I'm Akiko Yano, a popular girl.

The classic anime Crayon Shin-chan is beloved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults.

Its movies are famous for often being so profound that even adults are moved to tears.

While people tend to associate the series with the films’ image, Crayon Shin-chan is, at its core, a gag anime.

Many of the songs that appear in it are crafted to be comical and cute.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is Ora wa Ninkimono.

It’s sung by Akiko Yajima, the voice actress who played Shin-chan, and the entire piece has a uniquely charming and playful vibe.

It’s sung by the idol group AŌP, and their charming voices help give the song a cute vibe.

Incidentally, the original manga features even more extreme dark humor than Osomatsu-san.

The heroines, who are far from perfect, each have distinctive personalities that won fans in a style not often seen at the time.

The theme song for Amagami is i Love.

It has a simple melody, but azusa’s voice is so cute that many listeners may feel enveloped just by listening to it.
