GeGeGe no KitaroShigeru Izumiya71rank/position
GeGeGe no Kitaro has been adapted into an anime five times so far, but for those who are currently college students, the one they’re likely to remember watching in real time is probably the fifth series.
The character designs are quite modern, too.
It was unfortunate that not all of the foreshadowing was resolved.
ONE JUMP AHEADKazutaka Ishii72rank/position
The Japanese title is “Hitofumi Osaki ni” (literally, “A Step Ahead”).
It’s the music for the scene where Aladdin runs joyfully and nimbly through the city, escaping from the guards.
Aladdin steals a loaf of bread, and in the end he shares it with hungry children—a scene that conveys his kindness.
ONE JUMP AHEAD（REPRISE)Kazutaka Ishii73rank/position
It’s a heartrending song that makes you want to cheer, “Hang in there, Aladdin!” He’s not doing bad things because he wants to—he’s singing about his bittersweet longing to one day live in a palace-like place.
It’s a gentle and beautiful song.
I live, I will keep on living.Masaharu Fukuyama74rank/position
It is the theme song of the movie “Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~.” The song features an impressive rhythm that emphasizes the offbeat and is enjoyable even for children.
Many listeners may find the lyrics—which feel like an adult speaking to a child—deeply relatable.
RainMotohiro Hata75rank/position
It’s a song whose sound of rain seeps into the heart.
Sung powerfully by Motohiro Hata, this piece was originally a masterpiece released to the world by Senri Oe on his 1988 album “1234,” with Hata’s version included on his May 2013 single “Kotonoha.” It graced the ending of the animated film “The Garden of Words,” captivating fans.
The ineffable pangs of sorrow and the subtleties of the heart are delicately portrayed alongside rainy scenes, and that frustrating sense of longing tightens the chest.
Perfect for gazing at a summer downpour lost in thought, or for nights when you want to shed tears over a love that has passed.
Dragon SoulTakayoshi Tanimoto76rank/position
It’s no exaggeration to say there isn’t a single person in Japan who doesn’t know Dragon Ball.
This song was used as the opening theme for Dragon Ball Kai.
Many of you have probably heard it.
Its mid-tempo programmed sound and energetic, vitality-filled vocals will lift your spirits.
The shout in the chorus is guaranteed to make you want to yell along.
Yeah! Break! care! Break!Takayoshi Tanimoto77rank/position
Takayoshi Tanimoto, who performed the opening theme for Dragon Ball Kai, also handled the ending theme.
In the Dragon Ball series, only Hironobu Kageyama during Dragon Ball Z and Takayoshi Tanimoto have performed both the OP and ED themes.
He is from Hiroshima, and among his high school bandmates was YUJI, the former drummer of D-SHADE.
