My Past Life, Many Lifetimes AgoRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS – Zenzenzense (movie ver.) [Official Music Video]

RADWIMPS’s hit song “Zenzenzense.” It was released as the theme song for the hugely popular anime film Your Name, which gained nationwide acclaim.

Among RADWIMPS’s tracks, this one has a fairly orthodox rock feel, and features an easy-to-sing vocal line that appears repeatedly throughout.

The vocal range is mid1 F# to mid2 F#, which is somewhat narrow for a male vocal song.

While the chorus has the drawback of having few break points, it doesn’t frequently require long sustained notes, making it exceptionally easy to sing.

It’s a popular song embraced by a wide range of generations, so you can expect it to really get the crowd going.

Whether you’ve been following the series or are discovering it for the first time, it’s a moving masterpiece that’s sure to set your heart ablaze.

A world where the sun does not riseAimer

Aimer “A World Where the Sun Doesn’t Rise” Music Video (Theme song for Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc, Chapter 1: The Return of Akaza)

This song, which is also the theme for “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Infinity Castle Arc: Chapter 1 Akaza’s Return,” spans roughly E3 to E5 and is quite advanced to sing on a first try.

When I first heard it, Aimer’s English-like diction made me think, “Is this a Western song?” but it’s firmly in Japanese (lol).

The A section is sung phrase by phrase in the lower register, but from around the B section it gradually becomes more emotional.

There are plenty of high notes, but rather than belting them in chest voice, using a strong head voice brings out both the poignancy and the power, matching the song’s mood.

From low to high notes, try singing with your eyebrows slightly raised to help stabilize pitch!

A thrilling and glamorous track released in May 2025 as the theme song for the theatrical anime Phantom Thief Queen’s Elegant Vacation! It’s a song by the music unit Anipani, centered around Rinu from Strawberry Prince, with Vau and Chigusa-kun participating.

The bright, jazz-inspired arrangement is striking, evoking the excitement and heart-pounding adventure aboard a luxury cruise ship.

The vocal work, showcasing the individuality of all three, is also captivating—the powerful voice of Rinu, Vau’s resonant low tones, and Chigusa-kun’s soaring high notes blend together exquisitely.

It’s a number I recommend when you want to immerse yourself in an extraordinary world.

Happy Lucky Chappyano

ano “Happy Lucky Chappy” × Anime ‘Guilt of Tacopi’ Collaboration Music Video

This is a piece specially written by ano as the opening theme for the anime “Guilty of Tacopii.” Despite its bouncy, poppy melody, the lyrics sing of pain, loneliness, and a sharp defiance toward society.

The sensation of a “colorless world,” which ano says she personally experienced, is projected onto the song, and the gap with the bright tune only serves to highlight the earnestness of the cry.

If you listen to it while burdened by an inescapable sense of stagnation, its powerful message will likely pierce you, as if speaking on your heart’s behalf.

If you don’t break the cage called “common sense,” you’ll never meet your true self.

This is a fast-paced rock number that sings of the omnipotent rush that arrives at the end of such inner conflict.

The track was released in July 2025 as the opening theme for the second rerun of the TV anime Assassination Classroom.

The explosive energy that wells up from within and surges through the song seems to liberate the listener’s heart as well.

It’s sure to resonate with anyone who wants to surpass who they are now and take a bold new step forward.

This is a track that powerfully paints the hope that, no matter how deep and dark the night, a bond of trust becomes our guiding light.

Performed by LiSA, it has been chosen as the theme song for the film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle Arc Chapter 1: The Return of Akaza, set for release in July 2025.

With a sound crafted by Yuki Kajiura that weaves weighty orchestration with fierce rock, it is nothing short of breathtaking.

The resolve of the characters—who refuse to yield to a cruel fate and aim for a place beyond hatred—overlaps with LiSA’s soul-stirring vocals to strike straight at the heart.

When you need the courage to face hardship, give it a listen.
