In case some of you were wondering why pictures of Suwawa and Mimori posing together have been sweeping through Twitter, it was because they were both at the ANiUTa event on Friday. On March 24, ANiUTa - the world’s first anime song streaming service - was unveiled. This event included Suwawa and Mimorin as representatives of the anisong industry.
(By the way, ANiUTa is also going to hold an ANiUPa!! live concert on May 13 at Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Gymnasium - and Aqours is gonna perform at that event. Looks like ANiUTa isn’t messing around with brand name recognition.)
As part of this event, there was a segment where the ladies pictured above were asked to construct a personal playlist of anime songs. For a video of that segment, click [here] - in case the link doesn’t direct you to the right time, Suwawa’s portion starts at 7:32.
To satisfy my own curiosity, I looked up all of these songs, and then figured that I might as well share it with everyone, haha. If you click the names of the songs below, they’re each linked to a YouTube video (which probably means that some of these links will be dead later on, but ah well). Pertinent information about each song is in parentheses (the LLS-related info is probably unnecessary, but I included it for consistency).
Anyways, without further ado, here’s Suwawa’s ANiUTa playlist:
1. HAPPY PARTY TRAIN (3rd Aqours single)
2. Mijuku Dreamer (Insert song for Episode 9 of “Love Live! Sunshine!!”)
3. Sakura Sakura Saku ~Ano Hi Kimi o Matsu Sora o Onaji de~ (ED for “Hidamari Sketch × ☆☆☆”, the 3rd season of the “Hidamari Sketch” series)
4. Special days (1st OP for “Special A”)
5. Hare Hare Yukai (ED for “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”)
6. Cordless☆Tere☆PHONE (Insert song for “No-Rin”)
7. Koi wa Aserazu (5th ED for “Amagami SS”)
8. Yawarakakutte Yasashii Jikan (Theme song for “Momokuri”)
9. SIXTH SENSE ADVENTURE (10th anniversary song for “Haruhi Suzumiya” series)
10. Haramitsu Renge (ED for “Chivalry of a Failed Knight”)
11. Sketch Switch (OP for 1st season of “Hidamari Sketch”)
12. Kimi no Kokoro wa Kagayaiteru kai? (1st Aqours single)
13. Aozora Jumping Heart (OP for “Love Live! Sunshine!!”)
14. Torikoriko PLEASE!! (1st AZALEA single)
Fun fact: Suwawa says the star of this playlist is, of course, “HAPPY PARTY TRAIN”. She notes that it’s not out until April so you technically can’t listen to it yet, but it’s a must on her list and she’s really looking forward to it.
By the way, King was inspired by this and tweeted her own ANiUTa playlist. You can check out my compilation of that list [here].
