Wanna beNEW!teddyloid
Producer TeddyLoid, known for electronic music and his work on anime and game soundtracks, has created this ambitious new track as the opening theme for the TV anime “Tōjima Tanzaburō Wants to Be Kamen Rider,” airing from October 2025.
Featuring Shigeru Matsuzaki and TOPHAMHAT-KYO, the song pairs a powerful four-on-the-floor beat—channeling the fervor of a hero-struck protagonist—with razor-sharp synth leads.
In the chorus, Matsuzaki’s soaring high notes explode, sonically amplifying the series’ central theme of transformation.
A must-listen for fans of hero stories!
ImaginationSPYAIR
It’s the theme song of the anime Haikyu!!.
The lyrics feel like they’re cheering on high school boys who are earnestly dedicated to their sport.
It’s a perfect fit for the series’ world.
The exhilarating, fast-paced sound is irresistible, too.
It was released in 2014.
SPARK-AGAINAimer
This song was used as the opening theme for the anime Fire Force Season 2.
It’s performed by the singer Aimer, also known for tracks like I beg you and Black Bird.
Released in 2020 as her 19th single, it features sharp, stylish band sounds that perfectly highlight Aimer’s beautiful vocals.
The lyrics, which evoke the story of the series, are also excellent.
It’s a rock number that truly embodies the phrase “a fiery anisong.”
KICKBACKNEW!Kenshi Yonezu
Kenshi Yonezu, who draws attention for his genre-blurring musicality from electronica to folk, released his 13th single in November 2022 as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man—a track that sonically paints protagonist Denji’s desires and inner turmoil.
Its lyrics, where a thirst for happiness collides with the emptiness of reality, resonate with the mindset of young people trying to claw their way up from rock bottom.
The fierce drum’n’bass-infused beat and dizzying key changes are an emotional roller coaster in themselves.
With dance videos spreading across social media, it also meshes perfectly with the digitally native Gen Z audience.
It’s an impulsive rock tune for anyone craving a jolt in their everyday life.
Revolutionary Journey – On the WayNEW!Aina the End
This song, created as the opening theme for Season 2 of the TV anime Dandadan, was written and composed by Aina the End.
It will be released digitally in July 2025, followed by physical releases in two formats—CD and Blu-ray—in September.
Its exhilarating sound layers with a mysterious melody, conveying the protagonists’ determination to fight to protect what’s precious to them in a straightforward way.
As Aina herself says, she “reduced the distortion in her voice and sang straightforwardly,” resulting in a clear and powerful vocal performance.
It perfectly matches the anime’s worldview, where the occult and youth intersect.
It’s a track we recommend when you want to keep moving forward or need a push on your back.
kaiju (giant monster)NEW!Sakanaction
This is Sakanaction’s first anime tie-in song, depicting the passion and struggles of those who pursue truth.
Released in February 2025, it was chosen as the opening theme for NHK General’s “Chi: On the Movements of the Earth.” Deeply connected to the anime’s worldview, which focuses on people attempting to prove the heliocentric theory, the lyrics convey a strong will to keep seeking the truth even in darkness.
Sakanaction’s unique sound—a fusion of electronica and rock—evokes curiosity and a forward-looking mindset.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience that sensation of having your own common sense overturned when you encounter new knowledge.
