🍓 {26/11/23} ✦ 10 iconic (forgotten or little-known) anime openings you need in your playlist right now 🎧 🎩 👌 ✦ 🇪🇸 │ 🇺🇸
✦ The world trembles before my design skills XD (?) ✦ 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 ✦
🇪🇸 ~ Actualmente me encuentro recopilando desde cero toda la música de anime que escuchaba de series de los 80, 90 e inicios del 2000. Extraño el tocadiscos que cabía en el bolsillo de mi uniforme de bachillerato, y cargar con el folio de muchos CDs "quemados" en casa a los que solo les cabía 13 canciones a cada uno (tenía playlist con toda clase de nombres, el CD para bailar, el CD de los musicales, el CD para escribir fanfics, el CD para rolear, el CD para dibujar...) 💿 📘
🇺🇸 ~ I currently find myself compiling from scratch all the anime music I listened to from series of the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. I miss the record player that fit in the pocket of my high school uniform, and carrying around the folio of many "burned" CDs at home that only fit 13 songs each (I had playlists with all kinds of names, the CD for dancing, the CD for musicals, the CD for writing fanfics, the CD for roleplaying, the CD for drawing...) 💿 📘
En este proceso y hablando con una amiga, descubrimos que jamás había escuchado el último op de Sailor Moon (quede en shock porque somos contemporáneas), sumado a eso, también he conocido fans bastante entusiastas de Card Captor Sakura, pero cuando les he preguntado qué otras series de CLAMP les gusta, la respuesta ha sido "qué es CLAMP?"
In this process and talking with a friend, we discovered that she had never listened to the last op of Sailor Moon (she was shocked because we are contemporaries), added to that, I have also met quite enthusiastic fans of Card Captor Sakura, but when I have asked them what other CLAMP series they like, the answer has been "what is CLAMP?"
Quede absolutamente en shock. Las cosas han cambiado. El mundo ha cambiado. Los otakus y los frikis han cambiado, y me alegra poder seguir aquí para apreciar como evoluciona el fandom de mi país. Por eso hoy quiero compartir algunos temas que quizá no has escuchado, y si lo hiciste, se que te traerán muy buenos recuerdos y quieras agregarlos a tu repertorio 🙌 🎧 💕
I was absolutely shocked. Things have changed. The world has changed. Otakus and geeks have changed, and I'm glad I can still be here to appreciate how my country's fandom is evolving. That's why today I want to share some songs that maybe you haven't heard, and if you did, I know they will bring back great memories and you will want to add them to your repertoire 🙌 🎧 💕
Shōjo Kakumei Utena: "Rondo-Revolution" (interpretada por Masami Okui) es un tema muy famoso y es hasta un deber tenerla en mi lista de prioridades. Tema muy alabado y bastante icónico para una serie cargada de tanto simbolismo y profundidad; personalmente prefiero la película antes que la adaptación del anime. Imaginate leer la letra de esta canción por primera vez justo cuando inicias la adolescencia.
Shōjo Kakumei Utena: "Rondo-Revolution" (performed by Masami Okui) is a very famous theme and is even a must have on my priority list. Highly praised and quite iconic theme for a series loaded with so much symbolism and depth; I personally prefer the movie over the anime adaptation. Imagine reading the lyrics of this song for the first time just as you enter your teenage years.
Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten: "Saaa!" (interpretado por Surface) era ese tipo de canciones que venían una y otra vez en los CD de las revistas manganime de inicios del 2000. No es necesario que conozcas o veas el anime para enamorarte de este temaso. Aunque toda comedia romántica con semejante estética tan bonita se agradece.
Denshin Mamotte Shugogetten: "Saaa!" (performed by Surface) was the kind of song that came over and over again in manganime magazine CDs in the early 2000s. You don't need to know or watch the anime to fall in love with this song, though any romantic comedy with such a cute aesthetic is appreciated.
07-Ghost: "Aka no Kakera" (interpretado por Yuki Suzuki) es una canción demasiado potente para ser olvidada. Este anime te confunde porque esperas BL, creo que la obra original lo era (novela? manga?) han pasado demasiados años y no lo recuerdo. Pero sí recuerdo que el argumento era interesante y poco predecible, y te encariñabas rápidamente con los protagonistas.
07-Ghost: "Aka no Kakera" (performed by Yuki Suzuki) is a song too powerful to be forgotten. This anime confuses you because you expect BL, I think the original work was (novel? manga?) it's been too many years and I don't remember. But I do remember that the plot was interesting and not very predictable, and you quickly got attached to the main characters.
Antique Bakery: "Life goes on ~side K~" (interpretado por Chemistry) a diferencia de 07 Ghost, SÍ recuerdo que esta basado en un juego BL, aunque la adaptación al anime fue bastante suave. Es ese tipo de serie que puedes ver sin demasiadas ambiciones, simple pero entretenida si quieres algo relajante. Su opening es hasta bailable jajaja.
Antique Bakery: "Life goes on ~side K~" (performed by Chemistry) unlike 07 Ghost, it IS based on a BL game, although the anime adaptation was pretty mild. It's that kind of series you can see without too much ambition, simple but entertaining if you want something relaxing. Its opening is even danceable hahaha.
Patlabor: "Sono mama no Kimi de Ite" (interpretado por Nittoh Yuko) creo que es la joya de esta búsqueda porque tiene toda esa vibra de los "animes de antes", ¡que por cierto no sabía que en 2016 le hicieron un corto animado llamado "Patlabor Reboot" (prometo buscarla).
Patlabor: "Sono mama no Kimi de Ite" (performed by Nittoh Yuko) I think is the gem of this quest because it has that whole "anime of yesteryear" vibe, which by the way I didn't know that in 2016 they made an animated short for it called "Patlabor Reboot" (I promise to look for it).
Sailor Moon Stars: "Sailor Star Song" (interpretada por Kae Hanazawa) toma por sorpresa a algunas personas que solo vieron la serie con el respectivo doblaje Latino. Tambien se le conoce cariñosamente a la canción como "Makenai", y se dice que Naoko quiso un nuevo tema para cerrar la serie en su última temporada, porque supuestamente el opening que todos conocemos de "Moonlight Densetsu" se parece demasiado a una cancion ya existente en ese tiempo y hubo referencias a eso varias veces. Bueno, esta cancion tiene notas bastante mas poderosas que el primer tema, mucho más heroica.
Sailor Moon Stars: "Sailor Star Song" (performed by Kae Hanazawa) takes some people who only watched the series with the respective Latin dub by surprise. The song is also affectionately known as "Makenai", and it is said that Naoko wanted a new theme to close the series in its last season, because supposedly the opening we all know from "Moonlight Densetsu" is too similar to a song already existing at that time and there were references to it several times. Well, this song has much more powerful notes than the first theme, much more heroic.
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: "Just Communication" (interpretado por Minami Takayama) es casi tan himno como lo puede ser el OP de Evangelion. Pero en esta latitud he conocido muy pocos fanáticos de franquicia de Gundam, y tomando en cuenta que los canales nacionales y de cable que llegan a Venezuela ya no emiten series Mecha o Meca, la menciono por si acaso.
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: "Just Communication" (performed by Minami Takayama) is almost as anthemic as Evangelion's OP can be. But in this latitude I have met very few fans of the Gundam franchise, and taking into account that the national and cable channels that reach Venezuela no longer broadcast Mecha or Meca series, I mention it just in case.
Senkaiden Hōshin Engi: "Will" (interpretado por Yonekura Chihiro) es un recuerdo muy lejano pero también muy bonito de la época de Locomotion. Es esa clase de cancion que puede cambiarte el animo en pocos segundos. Es de mis favoritas.
Senkaiden Hōshin Engi: "Will" (performed by Yonekura Chihiro) is a very distant but also very nice memory from the Locomotion era. It's that kind of song that can change your mood in a few seconds. It's one of my favorites.
DNA²: "Blurry Eyes" (interpretado por L'Arc~en~Ciel), ¿que puedo decir?, todo lo que venga de esta banda es bueno, demasiado bueno, pero igual a como sucede con el tema de Gundam, hace mucho tiempo que no leo o escucho a alguien hablar de L'Arc~en~Ciel, y si no conoces la banda, ésta cancion es una muestra bastante agradable para empezar, y espero despierte tu interés.
DNA²: "Blurry Eyes" (performed by L'Arc~en~Ciel), what can I say, anything from this band is good, too good, but just like with the Gundam theme, it's been a long time since I've read or heard someone talk about L'Arc~en~Ciel, and if you don't know the band, this song is a nice enough sample to start with, and I hope it piques your interest.
Akihabara Dennō Gumi: "Birth" (interpretada por Masami Okui) AJAJAJA ES CORRECTO, ESTE NO ES UN OPENING, es un ending; al final de esta nota me ataco el irresistible impulso de compartir semejante joya sí o sí. El OP de esta serie es espectacular y escandaloso, tiene todo lo que esperas de esa época, pero pocos recuerdan esta canción y quiero traerla al presente. Sueño con que hagan un remakede la serie.
Akihabara Dennō Gumi: "Birth" (performed by Masami Okui) AHAHAHAHAHA IS RIGHT, THIS IS NOT AN OPENING, it's an ending; at the end of this note I was attacked by the irresistible impulse to share such a gem yes or yes. The OP of this series is spectacular and outrageous, it has everything you expect from that era, but few remember this song and I want to bring it to the present. I dream of them doing a remake of the series.
Y así, mi búsqueda y recopilación de música de series "retro" que escuche en mi adolescencia/infancia continuará; quizá cuando complete la carpeta me anime a publicar una lista de todos los temas. Espero la hayas pasado bien y si tienes recomendaciones no dudes en compartirlas en los comentarios 💕
And so, my search and compilation of music from "retro" series that I listened to in my adolescence/childhood will continue; maybe when I complete the folder I will be encouraged to publish a list of all the tracks. I hope you had a good time and if you have recommendations do not hesitate to share them in the comments 💕

What memories you brought back with the Sailor Moon OP and DNA (although I almost forgot the latter haha)
The series of those years are always in our hearts, not to mention the openings, although many of the ones you share today I didn't know or didn't get to hear them (I watched anime and didn't even know it was anime back then haha).
Clamp? what is Clamp? I died with that haha well, I think it's normal to love a series but not knowing who made it, isn't it? 😂
Very good post, a trip to the past of anime that is worth remembering (or knowing in my case with some of the ones you mention) ❤️
I love your username! The description of your blog is super lovely. And how great it is to read you, I feel like you understood me hahaha thank you so much for leaving me this comment, I'm very happy 💙 💙 💙
Hi, welcome to The Anime Realm community!
These are really good retro songs, I remember most of them even though I didn't watch all those anime, I used to watch Saint Seiya, DB Z, Rurouni Kenshin and other commercial anime that were broadcasted on open TV.
I take this opportunity to invite you to review the post of the suggested guidelines of the community and to visit and support the posts of other users so that we can continue to grow 😉.
Thanks for sharing with us, we hope to see you soon!
Thank you so much for the welcome! How nice to know that you recognized the series! Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball and RK have the most iconic songs and I think they are the first thing that comes to mind when you think of amazing anime music 🔥 ✨
Thank you so much for sharing me the link to the suggested guidelines, I'm already going to read it, and I hope to keep participating in the community, I really like your feed! I hope you have a beautiful day 🥰
