Only famous artists! Anime songs that energize the Reiwa era
When it comes to anime songs, in the Showa era there were many child-oriented tracks made specifically for each anime, while in the Heisei era there were many tie-in songs that often had little to do with the anime’s storyline.
In contrast, these days there are more and more songs written for anime that have also become signature hits for the artists themselves.
This may well be because Japanese anime has gained popularity overseas.

Utakata LullabyAdo
A song by Ado written by FAKE TYPE.
as an in-film track for ONE PIECE FILM RED.
Released in August 2022, it’s included on the album “Uta no Uta ONE PIECE FILM RED.” The story is well known that Eiichiro Oda requested “a quirky, brainwashing kind of song,” and the result delivers with an exceptionally crazy, dark worldview.
The song’s biggest draw is undoubtedly its machine-gun-like rapid-fire rap and psychedelic sound.
The ultra-technical vocals—so challenging that Ado herself reportedly struggled—are simply stunning, and despite the title meaning a gentle lullaby, they brilliantly portray Uta’s madness and the charismatic pull she exerts over people.
It’s the perfect track when you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of the film.
