It was tough to narrow the list down to 20 this year РІР‚вЂњ my initial list was twice as long. Kaji Yuki, Taniyama Kisyo & Ishikawa Yui ( Shingeki! Kyojin Chuugakkou ED) Kekkai Sensen turned out to be a slightly overindulgent, chuunibyou-anime-for-adults but it was hella fun, as were its theme songs.Р”Сћ0.Hangeki no Daichi. Yu-yu ( GUNDAM THE ORIGIN theme)Р”РЋ9.SugarР’В SongР’В toР’В BitterР’В Step.Р’В UNISONР’В SQUAREР’В GARDENР’В ( KekkaiР’В SensenР’В ED) Hattori Takayuki presents GUNDAM THE ORIGIN feat. AouP ( Osomatsu-san OP)Р”В®verything about Osomatsu-san caught me off-guard РІР‚вЂњ it was so good in so many ways, including this fun, retro-styled opening theme.Р”РЋ8.Hoshikuzu no Sunadokei. nagiРІР‚в„ўs had a year of many memorable anime themes and this is the grandest of them all.Р”РЋ7.Hanamaru Pippi wa Yoiko dake. I was half-expecting Maaya to sing the in-show songs.but IРІР‚в„ўm not complaining. There were so many great pop-rock songs being used as themes for the shonen-oriented anime РІР‚вЂњ Gintama had bucketloads of them for example, but KEYTALK won the day (or should that be the year?) with another helping of their fantastic showa-kayo rock.Р”РЋ6.Tenkuu ni Mau Tori yo. ItРІР‚в„ўs also one of their better songs in recent times (compared to the subpar ClimberРІР‚В¦)

Imai Asami ( Plastic Memories ED)Р”Р„nother show where the ED song saved me from smashing cups after every episode.Р”РЋ4.Arashi no Ato de. I guess IРІР‚в„ўm partial to a bit of idol song every once in a while and this is my pick for 2015.Р”РЋ3.Asayake no Starmine. Afilia Saga ( Taimado Gakuen 35 Shiken Shotai OP) Iguchi Yuka & Izawa Mikako ( Valkyrie Drive ED)Р”РЋ2.Embrace Blade. Where Takao Yuki tries to write Supercell and does exceptionally well.Р”РЋ1.Ultra Super Hyper Miracle Romantic. Mimi meme MIMI ( Yamada-kun to Shichinin no Majo ED) The song that kicked off 2015 for her is still my favourite though РІР‚вЂњ an underrated song from an underrated show.Р”РЋ0.CANDY MAGIC. KarasawaРІР‚в„ўs move into anisong was somewhat surprising but sheРІР‚в„ўs been putting in a good shift this year with writing work on a number of popular titles from Aldnoah Zero to Euphonium to Shokugeki no Soma. Stereo Dive Foundation meets Annabel = Heaven. The show was crappier than CRРІР‚в„ўs sub (Shisogapo, cough) but this one song was the one saving grace.Р”В§.Harmonious Clover. Avaivartika ( Nihon Animator Mihonichi РІР‚вЂњ Soko kara no Ashita)Р”В¦.Rakuen Made.

This song has been my ringtone for most of 2015!Р”Тђ.SKY5. Shame about the anime.Р”В¤.Miiro.Р’В AKINOР’В fromР’В Bless4Р’В ( KancolleР’В OP) A song to connect the past and the future, Korekara takes on added poignancy after Matsuki MiyuРІР‚в„ўs passing. This is the first time MaayaРІР‚в„ўs composed a song for an anime and though she actually wrote it with her anniversary performance at Saitama Super Arena in mind, it does actually fit the showРІР‚в„ўs mood quite well. Sakamoto Maaya ( Tamayura ~Sotsugyo Sashin~ theme) IРІР‚в„ўm always hyper suspicious when my favourite bands start having their songs used in anime but this proved a greater fit for Shokugeki than I ever wouldРІР‚в„ўve imagined.Р”Сћ.Korekara. 1.Spice.Р’В TokyoР’В KarankoronР’В ( ShokugekiР’В noР’В SomaР’В ED1)
