A song by Hyadain packed with a unique worldview and the heart-fluttering feelings of first love.
It was released in April 2011 as the opening theme for the anime “Nichijou.” With its catchy melody and rhythmic lyrics, it expresses a girl’s lovestruck heart in a pop style.
The distinctive duet style—Hyadain’s voice combined with the female part “Hyadaruko”—is also captivating.

It was the first ending theme of the hugely popular anime NARUTO, which has fans all over the world, sung by Akeboshi, a singer-songwriter from Kanagawa Prefecture.
It’s included on his first mini-album, STONED TOWN, released in 2002.
The song’s appeal lies in its wistful tone centered around the piano.

It was selected as the opening theme for the anime Kimi ni Todoke, based on a shoujo manga.
The fresh, light melody feels great to listen to.
Graduation is also a time for confessions, isn’t it? Why not take courage from this song and bare your innermost feelings?
Our Summer DreamTatsuro Yamashita25rank/position
This is a song written as the theme for the film Summer Wars.
Summer Wars has become a staple of the season, and many of you have probably seen it.
Rather than conveying the heat and excitement of summer, this song gently paints scenes of the season and is filled with a nostalgia that makes you think of your hometown.
It’s the kind of song I’d like people who’ve left their hometown to revisit from time to time.
Make my heartKen Hirai26rank/position
This heartfelt ballad, which portrays warm bonds, adds color to the special moments of a wedding.
As Ken Hirai’s first theme song for an animated film, it gently sings of the emotional connection with a loved one.
Released in March 2017, it gained attention as the theme song for Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi.
With lyrics that depict a relationship where both accept each other’s weaknesses and offer mutual support, it is perfect for celebrating the bond between the bride and groom.
It’s a song that sends sincere encouragement to two people looking toward the future together, making it an excellent choice for entrance or exit scenes at a wedding.
Love is an Explosion (feat. Yukari Tamura)Masayoshi Oishi27rank/position
This is the theme song for the anime “Love After World Domination,” which depicts the romance between the leader of a sentai hero team and a queen belonging to an evil secret organization.
It’s an interesting track that combines the boldness reminiscent of classic tokusatsu songs—enhanced with brass sounds—with the cute, charming vibe of the featured artist, Yukari Tamura.
The lyrics blend elements of both a tokusatsu anthem and a love song, powerfully expressing the swelling feelings of love.
Turn it up loud, if you can!
To the skyMasayoshi Yamazaki28rank/position
It was chosen as the theme song for the animated film Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016.
Inspired by the film’s story, it’s crafted as a medium-tempo ballad evoking the theme of leaving the nest, and, in consultation with the director, it captures the world of Doraemon.
Its melody, which pairs perfectly with the characteristically moving finale of Doraemon films, makes it a song you’ll want sung at weddings and receptions.
