O2ORANGE RANGE
As the first opening theme for the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, a powerful track was born that weaves mixture rock into a J-pop foundation.
Even among ORANGE RANGE’s works, YAMATO’s striking high-range vocals stand out, and the contrast with RYO’s low vocals gives the piece a sense of breaking new ground.
With a message layered over the chemical formula for oxygen and themes that synchronize with the protagonist’s rebellion and pursuit of freedom, the song reached No.
3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart after its release in May 2008.
It was included on the albums PANIC FANCY and ALL the SINGLES, and has continued to be loved through diverse arrangements, including covers in games such as THE iDOLM@STER and World Dai Star.
In karaoke, its energetic progression and memorable chorus make it a song that greatly lifts the singer’s spirits.
Heart Dancingnobobyknows̟+
This is a signature song by nobodyknows+, released in 2004, which was chosen as the ending theme for the anime SD Gundam Force.
At the time, the cool flow of the five MCs passing the mic and weaving their verses drew a great deal of attention.
Some of you might even have memorized the lyrics and sung it often at karaoke.
In 2022, it was also featured on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE, and many people in their 30s were surely thrilled to see the live performance brought back across time.
Burn, Gulliver Boy!Kiyohiko Ozaki
“Fantastical Science World Gulliver Boy” is a cross-media project by Shueisha, Red Company, and Hudson, and a TV anime aired in 1995.
The opening theme, “Burn! Gulliver Boy,” is sung by Kiyohiko Ozaki.
Hanako is here!!Mayutan
This is a song from one of the segments of “Ponkikies,” called “Scary School Rumors: Hanako-san Has Come!!” Hanako-san is a classic character in scary stories.
Many people probably got scared to go to the bathroom after hearing her tale.
But the song itself is poppy, quite different from Hanako-san’s frightening image.
She’s portrayed as someone who gives you courage, helps you out, and sometimes even chases away ghosts.
And yet, she’s still scary.

‘ It was the debut single of the music unit Nao Ito in FIX, released in 2000.
Its rhythmic, stylish sound carries a classic anison vibe.
The chorus, with a melody line that feels like heat bubbling up, is especially cool! Perfect for when you want to lift your spirits and pump up your energy.
