10 anime songs that will instantly put you in a nostalgic vibe
Before YouTube and Netflix came into being, an entire generation of kids could only watch anime on television.
90s babies would know the quirks of this viewing experience: the anglicized character names, the Tagalog dub, and yes, having to listen to the opening song every single day.
Because there is no skip button, kids have to sit through the entire song before they could get to the episode. The result? Everyone pretty much learned the songs even though they do not exactly know the lyrics!

If you wish to have some of these nostalgic tunes added to your playlist, we’ve got you covered. Here are 10 anime songs you can stream on Spotify guaranteed to take you back to your childhood.

3. Yuzurenai Negai (Magic Knight Rayearth)
Hearing the first line of this song sent every kid scrambling to sit in front of the TV pronto. Fair warning: it gives a serious case of Last Song Syndrome.

Who could forget about this song? It totally hyped us up for the next adventure of our favorite Super Saiyans!

Remember being annoyed about this song getting cut short due to commercials? Now we can enjoy it in full and add it to our regular jam.
6. Again (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)
Now this is the absolute banger. Where you at, Brotherhood fans? It’s time to party!
It’s the throwback of all throwbacks, something that even the older generation would know. Gen X and Millennials, let’s volt in!
The duality of this song just slaps so hard, much like the duality of Kenshin himself as the nice Rurouni and the intense Battousai. It’s rock and it sounds cutesy and it just works.
It’s by Yui, who also sang “Again” from Brotherhood. Need we say more?
10. Lupin III Theme (Lupin III)
If you just want to chill while working, this jazz piece just hits the right spot. You might dance on your seat while remembering Lupin’s gang, but good times, right?
