<![CDATA[The original manga and anime version of GochiUsa were huge hits, and a third season of the anime has been confirmed. Naturally, there are plenty of great songs, including the opening and ending themes, as well as character songs. More than 50 CDs were released before the third season of the anime! Even though it is not an anime in which idols sing or play an active role, many character songs have appeared in GochiUsa. So this time, we have selected and ranked 10 of the great songs that have appeared so far! We will introduce the rankings, including famous songs that anyone who has watched the anime will know, as well as character songs that are a bit more obscure.
Number 10: The World Has Become a Cafe!
The third place is the theme song for the special anime "Dear My Sister", "The world has become a cafe!". It is sung by seven people, Cocoa, Chino, Rize, Sharo, and Chiya, and the Chimame-tai, "Petit Rabbit's with beans". The melody is generally calm among GochiUsa songs, but the chorus is a masterpiece that will stay in your head once you hear it. Just like the lyrics, it makes you feel happy.
No. 9: Daily Decoration
The song we chose for ninth place is the 12 birds ending theme song for the first season of the anime, "Daily Decoration." The song is sung by the five members of "Petit Rabbit's," who are also familiar from the opening theme song, but unlike the opening theme, it is a song that feels a bit lonely, like something that would be played at a graduation ceremony. That's because this song is the 12 birds ending theme song... that is, the song prepared for the final episode of the first season of the anime. The moment this song started playing, fans screamed in ecstasy (lol). I thought it could have been ranked higher in the classic song ranking, but since it's a bit of a traumatic song that confronts the reality that "GochiUsa is ending," I ranked it ninth this time.
8th place: Nantoku Mirai
In eighth place is the anime's second season 12-wing ending theme, "Nantoku Mirai." This is also a masterpiece sung by "Petit Rabbit's", and as soon as you hear it you can tell it has the same vibe as Nichijou Decoration, which was introduced in ninth place... Yes, this is the ending theme that was played in the final episode of the second season of the anime. Since there are usually a lot of energetic songs, this song with a slightly more mellow atmosphere is pleasant to listen to, but for those who have watched the anime, it is a masterpiece that brings about more "sadness" and "loneliness". Even in the third season of the anime, there is a high possibility that the final episode will have a special ending, so be prepared to watch it without dying of shock (lol)
Seventh place: Caffeine Fighter
In seventh place is the character song "Caffeine Fighter" sung by Sharo. The book from this scene that appeared in the first season of the anime, "9 Birds," has been turned into a character song! What I want you to pay attention to about this song is the lyrics. The song is about Sharo, and the lyrics reflect Sharo's harsh and difficult life in poverty, such as "We're in the red again this month," "No extravagant part-time jobs," and "My body trembles when I hand out flyers."
Sixth place: Yay Yay Try!
The sixth place is the character song "Yay Yay Try!" This song has a solo version for each character, but my personal recommendation is the Aoyama Blue Mountain version! Of course, the other character versions are good too, but in terms of originality, I think this is by far the best. By the way, the voice actress is Saori Hayami. She sings a variety of songs, including character songs, so her singing ability is impeccable.
Fifth place: Tekuteku Marching March
The third place is the character song "Tekuteku Marching March" sung by the Chimame-tai. The best thing about this song is the good tempo! The song has many lyrics such as "kokukoku" and "tekuteku", and the tempo is so good from the beginning to the chorus that you can't help but tap your body to the rhythm when listening. The lyrics are not too deep, but rather show the Chimame-tai having fun.
No. 4 - No Poi!
The fourth place is "No Poi!" from the OP of the second season of GochiUsa, released on November 11, 2015. When a sequel is released for any anime, the OP song is inevitably compared. In particular, the more divine the opening song of the first season, the more likely it is that people will say, "The first season's opening was good." GochiUsa also had a divine song in the first season, so people wondered what the second season's opening would be... but it is sung by "Petit Rabbit's," a group of five main characters who also sang the first season's opening, and just like the first season, it has a good tempo. It became a hit that went beyond the boundaries of anime songs, reaching a peak of 2nd place on the Oricon Daily Rankings.
Third place: The Phantom Thief Lapin
The third place is the character song "The Phantom Thief Lapin" sung by Sharo. Sharo appears in the work dressed as Lapin, and she even sings the character song of the Phantom Thief Lapin. The melody is more jazzy, but she sings Lapin in a lively atmosphere, making it feel like the opening theme of the anime "The Phantom Thief Lapin".
Second place: Tokimeki Poporon♪
The second place is "Tokimeki Poporon♪" sung by Chimame-tai, the ending theme song for the second season of the anime. Chimame-tai also sang the ending theme song for the first season of the anime, but compared to the very calm atmosphere of the first season's ending theme song, the second season's song has a very "cute and cunning" atmosphere in a good way. In any case, it's cute no matter where you listen to it! It's a masterpiece that really brings out the best in Chimame-tai.
The song is twice as good when you listen to it with the anime ending theme song! ?
The quality of this song is multiplied by the anime's ED movie. The scene at the beginning of the song where they skip with light steps one by one. The scene before the chorus where they look up with obviously cunning eyes. The scene where the three of them dance together in the chorus... You're a lolicon for getting happy watching something like this! It's so good that I would accept it (lol). After looking into it, I found out that the people involved in the production of this ED are also incredible! The storyboard and direction were done by the director of "Kiniro Mosaic". The animation director is the chief animation director of "Ro-Kyu-Bu!". At this point, it's no exaggeration to say that this is a lolicon magnet (lol). The key animators are also a line-up of talented people who have worked as animation directors on various anime such as the Monogatari series and Nisekoi. The ending credits were apparently made with idol PVs in mind, and a lot of effort was put into the camerawork and other aspects.
First Place: Daydream café
The song we chose as the first in the ranking of famous songs is the opening theme song for the first season of the anime, "Daydream café." It is a classic song that cannot be left out when talking about GochiUsa, and it was the first to be ranked (lol). The ranking so far has changed quite a bit depending on your favorite character, but I think this first place is pretty solid. Even if you don't know the title, anyone who has watched the anime will know it almost 100% just by saying "Kokoro Pyon Pyon's song." This song is also sung by Petit Rabbit's, and you can enjoy the singing voices of the five main characters. Among all the songs, this is a masterpiece that really conveys the characters' high degree of freedom and the fun atmosphere. By the way, my favorite phrase is Chiya's "Say it" (lol)
Daydream Cafe ~ Chimame-tai Ver. ~
"Daydream Cafe is certainly a great song, but I love Chimame-tai! I can't stand it without Maya and Megu!" If that sounds like you, then this "Daydream Cafe ~ Chimame-tai Ver. ~" is recommended! The three members of Chimame-tai are literally singing that famous song. It's the same song, but just changing the members can make it so different! ? It's a song with such a different atmosphere that you'll think, "Is it really that different just by changing the members?!" Anyway, Maya and Megu are full of energy! By the way, the part of Chiya's "Ii-nasai" that I mentioned as my favorite phrase is performed by Megu, but it is a completely different and cute performance, so I hope you will pay attention to it.
Gochiusa Best Songs Ranking Summary
So far, I have introduced the ranking of Gochiusa's best songs. As expected, the number one spot is unchanging, but as I wrote at the beginning, the rest change quite a bit depending on the character you like. By the way, I like Sharo and Chimame-tai, so this is the ranking (lol), but what song is ranked in your ranking?
