Who is Ryokuoushoku Shakai?
Ryokuoushoku Shakai, also known by the nickname “リョクシャカ” (Ryokushaka), is a four-member Japanese music group. The band consists of high school classmates Haruko Nagaya (vocalist), Issei Kobayashi (guitar), and Peppe (keyboard), along with Kobayashi’s childhood friend Shingo Anami (bass).
Characterized by Nagaya’s transparent yet powerful vocals, the band has become a prominent name in the music scene. Their uniqueness stems from each member’s contributions to the song-creation process, resulting in a diverse range of music. Internationally, Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime songs are what have helped the group gain greater recognition.

Kicking off our exploration of each Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime song is “Party!!,” a lively creation featured in the anime Delicious in Dungeon, also known as Dungeon Meshi (ダンジョン飯).
Based on Ryoko Kui’s renowned manga series, this anime adaptation has been highly anticipated by fans. The first episode was released on January 4th, 2024.
The ending theme, “Party!!” aims to transport listeners into a lively party atmosphere. Created by group members Kazuaki Kobayashi and Shingo Anami, the upbeat song weaves celebration into its lyrics.
Expressing their honor in contributing music to a work with beloved characters that has been eagerly awaited by many, the band shares their hopes that “Party!!” will be “like a fun dessert” that people look forward to at the end of every episode.
“Dungeon Meshi” promises a thrilling adventure—and this Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime song concludes each episode in the most festive manner.
Be a flower – From The Apothecary Diaries
Released in October 2023, this enchanting Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime song serves as the opening theme for the anime The Apothecary Diaries, also known as Kusuriya no Hitorigoto (薬屋のひとりごと). It is the group’s 8th single.
With a catchy melody and heavy sound, the track is focused on “flowers that bloom in the shade.” The song was composed by Shingo Anami, with lyrics penned by Haruko Nagaya.
White Rabbit – From Secret Garden of Flowers
“White Rabbit,” is featured in the short animated film, Secret Garden of Flowers (秘密のはなの庭). Different from other Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime songs, the piece was created as a part of the TOHO animation Music Films project.
As a part of the renowned company’s 10-year anniversary, the collaboration brought popular music artists and animators to produce 5 different works that brought the artistic mediums together.
The song, with lyrics by Kobayashi and composed by Anami, was specifically created for the short film. The track was released in March of 2023. It was later included in their 4th album, pink blue, and also became the theme song for another tv show.
Hi wa Mata Noboru Kara – From Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden
“Hi wa Mata Noboru Kara”(陽はまた昇るから, translated to “the sun will rise again”), is the first Ryokuoushoku Shakai anime song for a full-length animated film. It was the theme song for the animated film, Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpūden.
The band commented that they were very excited to receive the offer for this collaboration. They admire the brave and cool Shin-chan. They were also confident the song could relate to the lonely feelings the main character can experience.
With lyrics by Kobayashi and composed by Anami, “Hi wa Mata Noboru Kara” is a gentle, motivational track; amidst sad or difficult times, the sun will rise again.
Kesshou – From Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon
Released in early 2021, ”Kesshou” (結証) is one of the ending theme songs for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon. The series is the sequel to the Inuyasha series and focuses on themes of identity, family, and the challenges faced by protagonists.
Composed by Kobayashi and with profound lyrics by Nagaya, the ballad delves into the concept of “believing in and protecting intangible things.” The title, meaning “proof” or “evidence,” encapsulates the essence of the song’s profound message.
Shout Baby – From My Hero Academia
As the first-ever Ryokoushoku Shakai anime song, “Shout Baby” conveys the theme of desiring strength and change in the face of a challenging future.
This makes it a perfect fit for My Hero Academia, where the song was used as the second ending theme for season four of the TV series.
Released in early 2020, the song was fully created by Kobayashi. The result is a powerful anthem that not only captures the essence of the show the anime’s characters, but also reflects the band’s over decade-long journey together.
