"Hacking to the Gate"

by Kanako Itou

About the artist: Kanako Itou is a Japanese singer whose haunting, melancholic style perfectly matched Steins;Gate's themes of obsession and temporal tragedy. Hacking to the Gate is considered one of the finest anime openings ever composed.
Fan reception:: Consistently ranked among the greatest anime openings of all time. Every visual is a spoiler; on rewatch, the opening reveals everything it initially hid. The piano motif is iconic.
OP 2Steins;Gate 0 (sequel)

"Fatima"

by Kanako Itou

About the artist: Kanako Itou returned for the Steins;Gate 0 opening, delivering a darker, more desperate track matching the alternate timeline's hopeless premise.
Fan reception:: Acclaimed as a worthy continuation of the original's musical identity. The more dissonant arrangement signals that this timeline has no guaranteed good ending.

"Toki Tsukasadoru Juuni no Meiyaku"

by Yui Sakakibara

About the artist: Yui Sakakibara's ending gave Steins;Gate its most emotionally resonant closing note — a piano ballad about time and irreversibility that tied directly into the series' core thesis.
Fan reception:: Often called the best anime ending of 2011. Rewatching the series, its lyrics take on new meanings as Okabe's understanding of his situation deepens.
ED 2Eps 23–24 (Chaos;Head tie-in)

"Another Heaven (Alternate Universe Ver.)"

by いとうかなこ (Kanako Itou)

About the artist: A special ending used for the Science Adventure crossover episodes, featuring Kanako Itou's voice with altered lyrics acknowledging the parallel timeline structure.
Fan reception:: Treasured by Science Adventure fans as a rare in-series acknowledgement of the shared universe. The alternate lyrics hit differently with series context.
ED 3Steins;Gate 0

"Believe Me"

by Kanako Itou

About the artist: Itou's third major contribution to the Steins;Gate franchise — a slower, more hopeful ballad that provided the emotional anchor for 0's desperate timeline.
Fan reception:: Loved for being the most emotionally hopeful piece in the franchise. Coming after 0's bleakest moments, its optimism felt earned rather than naive.
