I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Watch “Motteke! Sailor Fuku” on YouTube by Konata Izumi (CV: Aya Hirano), Kagami Hiiragi (CV: Emiri Kato), Tsukasa Hiiragi (CV: Kaori Fukuhara), and Miyuki Takara (CV: Aya Endo)

An irresistibly catchy denpa song used as the opening theme for the TV anime Lucky Star.

The vocals by the four characters played by Aya Hirano, Emiri Kato, Kaori Fukuhara, and Aya Endo are like a flood of words! The rap-style sections come at you without a moment to breathe, and the lyrics’ world—where trying to parse the meaning can send you into a maze—will have you hooked before you know it.

It’s perfect for times when you just want to let the music carry you without thinking too hard.

DANZEN! Pretty Cure (We Are Pretty Cure)

DANZEN! Pretty Cure (Futari wa Precure) Mayumi Gojo

The Pretty Cure TV anime series has been loved for many years.

This is the opening theme of its first season, released in 2004.

Mayumi Gojo’s cute vocals match perfectly with the sparkling sound—it’s wonderful.

I’m sure many people often sing it at karaoke.

We Are! / Hiroshi Kitadani

We Are Kitadani Hiroshi

This is the very first opening theme of the hugely popular anime ONE PIECE.

The excitement kicks in right from the intro! Released in 1999 as Hiroshi Kitadani’s debut single, it makes you want to dash outside when you listen to it.

Hironobu Kageyama – CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA .Live.mp4

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA Hironobu Kageyama

Among the songs from the Dragon Ball series, this one is especially popular.

It’s one of Hironobu Kageyama’s signature tracks—the “Prince of Anisong”—and it was released in 1989.

Back when the anime aired, many people would start singing along the moment the opening theme began.

God knows…SOS Brigade

[SOS Brigade] That SOS Brigade, no way!? [YouTuber debut?]

God knows... SOS Brigade

This is a song performed by the SOS Brigade in the cultural festival episode of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is highly popular not only in Japan but overseas as well.

Many people surely remember Haruhi Suzumiya’s powerful, impassioned singing.

It’s incredibly cool and uplifting, and it’s also a very popular choice for band covers.

Until the World Ends…WANDS

Until the World Ends... – WANDS (Full)

Until the World Ends… WANDS

This is the song used as the ending theme for season 2 of the anime adaptation of the classic basketball manga SLAM DUNK.

It’s a massive hit by WANDS, a flagship band of the Being music scene, released in 1994 as their eighth single.

The song sings about the hope of dreaming of tomorrow, and perhaps because of its message and soaring vocals, it really stirs the emotions.

For example, someone currently nursing a crush might find the courage to confess after listening.

Incidentally, it’s also a very popular choice for karaoke.

Aim to be a Pokémon MasterRika Matsumoto

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master! - Rika Matsumoto

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master Rika Matsumoto

This is the first opening theme of Pokémon, which began airing in 1997.

I’m sure there are people who can sing it without even looking at the lyrics—it was that big of a hit.

With remake versions produced from time to time, it’s a famous anime song known by both adults and children, and one that I hope will be sung for generations to come.
