Another year, another list of memorable OPs. Here’s my list of favourite eroge OPs over the past year, selected based on song quality, visual arrangement and creativity. There’s a few all-ages titles and console games as well. They are listed by release date and you can listen to the entire playlist on Youtube. My top 5 this year are Unjou no Fairy Tale, Butterfly Seeker, 9-nine- Sorairo Sorauta Soranooto, Mirai Radio to Jinkoubato, and Deep One. Enjoy!
