TV anime “Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan” Season 1 OP video (Dokuro-chan [Saeko Chiba] / Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan) [NBCUniversal Anime × Music 30th Anniversary Daily OP/ED Posting Project]

From the very first bars, this song makes a powerful impact with a melody that sticks in your head after just one listen.

It’s the opening theme for the OVA Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, released in spring 2005.

Its charm lies in the contrast between Saeko Chiba’s cute vocals and the extreme lyrics, where love for someone goes so overboard that it turns into physical attacks.

It’s as if the story of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan itself has been turned into music.

You’ll find yourself drawn into its rule-breaking, chaotic worldview before you know it—an addictive track, to say the least.

This is a landmark TM NETWORK track whose intro—like a headlong dash through a city night—captivated countless fans with its sheer coolness.

The narrative lyrics carry a powerful message: even while burdened by pain and loneliness, sharing a dream with someone can make you stronger.

This is a song by the eight-member band 5050, used as the opening theme for the TV anime One Piece.

Its irresistibly bright, ska-based sound alone lifts your spirits and fills you with excitement for the grand adventure that’s about to begin.

The lyrics express the thrill of a sweeping journey across the world’s seas and a spirit of curiosity that drives one to challenge the unknown.

OVER THE TOPHiroshi Kitadani

OVER THE TOP

Sung by Hiroshi Kitadani, who worked on the very first opening theme “We Are!,” this is an irresistible track for fans.

Released as a single in September 2019, it was reportedly written as the opening theme for the Wano Country arc of the TV anime One Piece.

This song is a high-energy, fast-paced number that portrays the protagonist’s spirit of pressing forward and believing in oneself no matter the hardship.

There’s even an anecdote that Kitadani poured so much passion into the recording that he worked up a heavy sweat, and just listening to it fills you with courage.

I wholeheartedly recommend this piece as an anthem that will push the backs of those who want to overcome challenges and break through their limits!

Creepy Nuts, who stormed the scene with the massive hit “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.” Their new track was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Dandadan.

It expresses the idea of music possessing people with the unique concept of a “sonic apparition,” perfectly syncing with the series’ occult worldview.

Over DJ Matsunaga’s exhilarating, fast-paced track, R-Shitei weaves lyrics that cleverly evoke famous horror works and popular manga, revealing new layers with every listen.

Given its quality, it’s no surprise it topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 after its release in October 2024.

It’s a perfect song not only for fans of the anime but also for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Creepy Nuts’ meticulously crafted wordplay.
