Monobright and Hiroyuki Deguchi's "Just Shut Up and Listen to Anime Songs! in Spring 2017"

Greetings to the 10 million anime fans in Japan. My name is Deguchi, and I play bass guitar in a band called Monobrite. In addition to the band, I am also a DJ who mainly plays tokusatsu songs and robot anime songs.

As we enter the fresh green season of 2017, this season's anime has suddenly become more interesting. From spring-like works, to continuing works that have entered new series, to anime adaptations of hot topics, there is a rich variety and a lively and gorgeous lineup of works. How many of your favorite works do you have?

When a new season of anime starts, there are many things to look forward to, such as the director, script, production company, voice actors, etc., but what we are especially interested in is the "theme song," including the opening and ending songs. The theme song is another face of the work, or to put it more simply, it is like a "symbol" that expresses the world view of the work. Since ancient times, theme songs have been an integral part of anime works, and the history of Japanese anime is simultaneously the history of anime songs. It is no exaggeration to say that an anime without a theme song is not an anime at all! It is not an exaggeration to say that an anime without a theme song is not an anime at all!

Especially in the past 10 to 15 years, anime songs have undergone an interesting transition in the history of Japanese music. Many songs have been created that have been created to the utmost of their quality without compromising the world view of the work, while greedily incorporating the trends of the time. Of course, the theme songs of this season's anime also include many of the aforementioned gems.

So, with great pleasure, I have selected 10 songs from all the opening and ending songs of this season's anime based on my own subjective viewpoint as a band member and DJ, and would like to explain them. I would like to select 10 songs from all the opening and ending songs of this season's anime and explain them.

I made the ranking based on the three basic criteria of "impact of the song," "unexpectedness of the song," and "want to play or DJ the song," while also taking into account my personal factors.

I was surprised to see a song not included in the list.

Don't put them in a weird order!"

You are right. You are absolutely right. But please bear with me. I have made my selection with a sense of resignation, so I would appreciate it if you could look at it with a generous heart and say, "Ah, so there are other opinions like this.

Now, let's see what you think of the theme song of this season! Let's take a look at them all at once!
