This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Ojamajo Doremi, which began airing in 1999.
For those born in the Heisei era, it might be a nostalgic tune you know well.

Os-alienClingy attention-seeker Elio

This song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko,” and it’s the kind of anison you’ll want to listen to during an upbeat, Halloween-like season.
The track was composed by Noko from the band Shinsei Kamattechan, and it became a big hit along with the anime.
Contagion of a Dire DreamALI PROJECT

The song, which serves as the opening theme for the anime Another based on the novel, is performed by ALI PROJECT.
True to their style, it’s arranged in a gothic rock tone and has a spooky feel that’s perfect for Halloween.
Another is a horror work that depicts strange and terrifying events surrounding the class the protagonist transfers into.
Since it was written specifically for this, the lyrics—which tie in with the story—leave a strong impression.
Still, beyond the eeriness and fear, the song ultimately also sings of hope for life.
No.7Jibaku Shōnen Band

A song by Jibaku Shounen Band, released in February 2020.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun.” The lyrics are striking in how they skillfully depict human psychology, where secrets, rumors, truth, and fiction intertwine.
The twin-vocal call-and-response and hard rock sound are fiery, making it an incredibly cool piece.
I think it’s perfect to sing at a Halloween party karaoke!
Happy Halloween, MARIAMaria Ushiromiya (Yui Horie)
