13. History Maker - Dean Fujioka - Yuri On Ice

There were a few honorable mentions for 2016 that I didn't get to. The opening for Sweetness and Lightning was very sweet and adorable (Harebare Fanfare by Mimimememimi). The first March Comes in like a Lion opening is also pretty good (Answer by Bump of Chicken) and... I think that's it for standouts for me, the rest I've already mentioned before in passing, or the show had another opening worth more merit. In any case, number one this year had to be History Maker.

Sometimes simple is better, sometimes you just need something with swelling inspirational lyrics to get you through. History Maker is amazing, and the added touches that the second version of the opening gives really just puts it over the top. If you aren't singing along to the OP whenever you hear it, then it probably hasn't embedded its way into your brain like it has mine. Dean's voice is beautiful, I love the splashes of colour that bombard the screen on each figure skating move the guys do, and seeing the finalists walking up to the final stage in the background really sells this as a hype piece. I love me some Yuri on Ice.
