Unknown World MapEtsuko Yakushimaru
The ending theme of the anime High Score Girl is Etsuko Yakushimaru’s “Unknown World Map.” It’s a pop song sung with her cute voice, wrapped in a glittering atmosphere.
Etsuko Yakushimaru, who also performs as the vocalist for Sotaisei Riron, is active not only in music but also as an artist and producer.
Chu, diversity.ano
After her activities with the idol group You’ll Melt More! (Yurumerumo!), ano has become a much sought-after figure on TV and radio.
Released in November 2022, this track was featured as the ending theme for Episode 7 of the TV anime Chainsaw Man, drawing major attention.
Set to a catchy, Chinese-influenced sound, it compellingly explores deep themes like respecting individuality and self-affirmation.
As ano herself says she represents diversity, the message resonates with many listeners.
It’s a powerful pop tune that will surely give you a push when you’re struggling with being different from those around you or feel like you’re losing sight of who you are.
Parallax ViewSumire Uesaka
The ending theme of the anime “Hozuki’s Coolheadedness,” Sumire Uesaka’s “Parallax View.” It’s a band sound with a driving rhythm and a Japanese-style melody.
The high-quality arrangement and the technically skilled performances by the instrumentalists give it a mature, serious edge.
The way Sumire Uesaka’s cute vocals fit that high-quality accompaniment is irresistible.
Listen once and you’ll be hooked!
Yo-kai Exercise No. 1Dream5
It’s Dream5’s ‘Yo-kai Exercise No.
1,’ the ending theme of Yo-kai Watch.
When this song was released, many children danced along in front of their TVs.
With the cute dancing anime characters and easy-to-understand lyrics, it became extremely popular among kids.
Thank you!!HOME MADE Family
The ending theme of the anime BLEACH, “Thank You!!” by HOME MADE Kazoku, is one of the group’s signature songs.
It’s a lively rap track with an upbeat rhythm that’s easy to groove to.
The song expresses gratitude to the people who always support you, and listening to it will lift your spirits.
deep forestDo As Infinity
A song by the male-female duo Do As Infinity that was used as an ending theme for Inuyasha.
True to its title, the A-melody conveys the feeling of footsteps walking through a deep forest, while the chorus evokes a sense of stepping into a sacred place.
This atmosphere expands the imagery of both the anime and the lyrics.
With a tone that seems to give form to the anime’s worldview as-is, it feels as though even the ending theme helps complete the work as a single, unified piece.
Mosaic FragmentSun Set Swish
The ending theme of the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion is “Mosaic Kakera” by SunSet Swish.
With this song, SunSet Swish made their first entry into the Oricon Top 10 after their major debut.
If you think of SunSet Swish’s signature track, this is likely the one.
The lyrics contain many references that evoke the anime, so I recommend enjoying them together.
