JOYSOUND Unveils Spring 2025 Anime Karaoke Rankings

As the cherry blossoms bloom and the spring anime season kicks off, JOYSOUND has announced its much-anticipated "Spring 2025 Anime Opening Songs Karaoke Rankings." The chart-topping song this season is none other than "Kusushiki," the opening theme for the anime Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, performed by the popular band Mrs. GREEN APPLE.

Overview of the Rankings

In a recent survey conducted by GEM Partners, a company that delivers digital marketing services for the entertainment industry, various anime opening theme songs were evaluated based on karaoke sing counts. Coming in at number one is the fresh release "Kusushiki," which has not only captivated karaoke enthusiasts but is also leading the overall karaoke rankings for 2025, establishing itself as a hit song of the first half of the year.

Following closely in second place is "Plazma" by Kenshi Yonezu, the theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. This song features a compelling fusion of electronic and rock elements that quickly draws listeners in with its addictive sound, capturing the essence of unique storytelling in anime.

In third place, we find "Kekkaorai" from Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals, a catchy track by Kocchi no Kento that has become a favorite for karaoke due to its upbeat melody and lively rhythm. The song's lyrics resonate well with fans, aligning perfectly with memorable quotes from the main character, driving social media buzz around it.

Other notable entries include [Alexandros]' "Koeru," which has captured the seventh spot, merging its high-speed sound with the dynamic visuals of the Umamusume: Cinderella Gray anime, creating a blend of exhilarating animation and music.

Insight into the Viewership Rankings

In terms of viewer interest, Kusuriya no Hitorigoto also dominated, revealing its immense popularity among fans this season. The Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX and Vigilante series followed in second and third place, respectively, indicating a strong correlation between market interest in these shows and their ranking on the karaoke charts.

Moreover, the Black Butler: Green Witch Arc anime secured its place in the viewers' rankings with Cö shu Nie feat. HYDE's "MAISIE" and Ryuguujou's "WALTZ," both of which resonated well with female audiences, showcasing the connection between musical appeal and the viewer demographics.

On a contrasting note, the series Can the Friendship Between Men and Women Work? (No, It Can't!!) unfortunately fell short in viewer numbers. However, the opening theme "Question, What is Love?" by HoneyWorks feat. Hakoniwa Lily, which managed to rank at number 11 in karaoke, has found its own niche audience due to its relatable themes regarding young love and queries about relationships.

Special Dialogue: Insights from Notable Commentators

In a special discussion between broadcaster Naoki Yoshida and YouTuber Yui, both have shared their thoughts about the ranking. Naoki expressed surprise at how Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX failed to take the top spot, citing how powerful Kusuriya no Hitorigoto has become this season, driven by dedicated fans of its music.

Yui echoed Naoki's sentiments, noting that while the songs are performed by renowned artists, the passionate following behind these tracks plays a significant role in their success.

Notable mentions were also given to songs of varying complexity in the karaoke scene, which offer both a challenge and a thrill for singers. For instance, tracks such as "Summer Time Ghost" by Wednesday Campanella and Cö shu Nie feat. HYDE's songs present high levels of difficulty but provide an exhilarating experience for those brave enough to sing them.

This season’s rankings and the discussions of commentators highlight not only the trends in anime music but also the deep connection between fans and the stories told through these songs. As the spring anime season continues, audiences look forward to the soundtracks that accompany the unfolding narratives.
