Something that surprised me when I started watching anime is how amazing the opening and ending songs can be. Even though the songs are mostly in Japanese, they convey a lot of emotions, especially paired with the images from the show. Most of the time the English translation of the song is provided, which makes it even better. Today, I’d like to share some of my favorite anime music with you, including links where you can listen for yourself.
A number of my favorite songs come from Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, so I’ll share those first.
- “Shooting Star” by Homemade Kazoku
- “Wind” by Akeboshi
- “Closer” by Joe Inoue
- “Sign” by FLOW
- “Newsong” by tacica
- “My Answer” by Seamo
- “Empty Heart” by Anly
A handful of my favorites are from One Piece, so I’ll share those next.
- “Hope” by Namie Amuro
- “Hands Up” by Kota Shinzato
- “One Day” by The ROOTLESS
- “Kokoro no Chizu” by BOYSTYLE
- “Believe” by Folder 5
The rest of the songs come from many different anime, so I am including the name of the anime along with the name and artist.
- “Polaris” by BLUE ENCOUNT from My Hero Academia
- “Departure!” by Masatoshi Ono from Hunter x Hunter
- “Change the World” by V6 from Inuyasha
- “Youthful” by 99RadioService from Chihayafuru
- “Colorful Box” by Yoko Ishida from Shirobako
- “Crossing Field” by LiSA from Sword Art Online
Those are some of my favorite anime songs. I probably left out some I really like by accident, but these are the ones that came to mind today. What are your favorite anime openings and endings? Let me know in the comments. If you enjoyed this post, please subscribe to see more like it.
