Anime songs & albums releases - December 2023

Happy New Year to all our supporters! We hope you’ve had a pleasant and joyful time over the holiday period, and wish you all the best for the year ahead!

As for where anime music is concerned, there’s no break for releases, as we have a lot of new songs to share with you, and some we must sadly say goodbye to.

The Winter 2024 season has already started to bless us with some releases. Delicious in Dungeon comes to life with the enchanting opening "Sleep Walking Orchestra" performed by the ever-amazing BUMP OF CHICKEN. Adding to this list, Shaman King: Flowers brings us an invigorating opening track, "Turn the World" by the wonderful Nana Mizuki.

Music from Fall 2023 has continued to drop onto streaming platforms, including more from the hottest shows of the season. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End has its soundtrack now available to listen to, in addition to plenty of Pokemon theme songs to enjoy, including the new cosy song "Have a Good Time Here" by city pop legend Mariya Takeuchi for the incredibly cute stop-motion show Pokémon Concierge.

Off season, notable entries include themes from classic anime series such as City Hunter and Rurouni Kenshin. Golden Kamuy stands out with its third and fourth season soundtracks composed by Kenichiro Suehiro
Additionally, the haunting Attack on Titan Season 2 ending by Shinsei Kamattechan and the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War soundtrack by Shirou SAGISU are now released.

As many songs join us, some sadly have to leave us. This month, we say goodbye to a number of tracks from Duel Masters.

Read on for the full catalogue of music releases and news for December 2023.
