And everyone surpasses me.

So, shall we listen to the theme song of Mass Missing?

There’s also a shitty theme song for “Nigejōzu.”

There are no longer any anime songs that are that bad.

The story of Bodacious Space Pirates was so wonderful that the opening theme just seemed terrible.

YOASOBI is a topic of conversation.

Yorushika is a satisfaction with content.

Zutomayo is like air.

>>6

I only knew about Dandadan, but it turns out they were doing quite a bit…

It’s common to see that the anime staff sometimes creates full-length promotional videos.

Everything is neatly organized, but I also want some wild anime songs.

“Kirumin Zoo”

Zutomayo’s representative songs and popularity will end up becoming something you should study…

I think both the opening and ending of Mōpai were good with Momoclo.

I sense that there’s an atmosphere suggesting to go with either Kenshi Yonezu or YOASOBI for now.

>>13

So, this Creepy Nuts

>>15

…It’s not much different, huh!

>>15

In fact, both Dandadan and Mashle have really hit big and seem to be increasing more and more.

Songs that don’t surpass the hurdle don’t even enter my ears, and even if I watch the anime, I don’t think they remain in my memory.

It seems that Lantis’s rough openings, where they would just let the main voice actor sing casually like in the old days with Aya Hirano, have disappeared.

>>16

I really feel that the number of solo voice actor singers has decreased.

>>16

Even though I didn’t appear in the anime, the theme song by the voice actor singer became a boom afterwards.

I am encountering great songs at the Chofu FM anime song year-end party.

I rarely see theme songs from V-kei bands suddenly appearing anymore.

Oishi Masayoshi is too much of a wildcard.

Even just looking at the lyrics, I often feel that Oishi’s work is quite rough or more like just a story…

>>25

Well, it feels like the lyrics have become that way because artists like Uru and YOASOBI are being overused here.

I don’t think Yoasobi is the type of singer that has such a strong subculture vibe that they can be used for anything.

So you’re saying we should go back to the crappy rap of Avex in the 90s?

The tendency for works that invest money to also invest in tie-up artists seems too obvious.

Oishi Masayoshi mentioned before that recently famous artists have started releasing high-quality songs for their works, and it seems like there’s no place for full-time anime song singers anymore.

Regardless of whether it’s successful or not, bringing in unknown singers or bands for tie-ups was actually a good way to create a sense of freshness.

>>32

If it goes viral, it’ll be a profit.

I wonder when the trend of what is required in anime songs changed.

>>33

Personally, I have the impression that hit singers started to heavily incorporate anime and game tie-ins around the time of bands like Bump.

I want Creepy Nuts to release something like a recommendation for legal ways to get high again.

Or a song that only has Eminem’s anger and thoughts.

For a while, I was only listening to Akihiko Hatake’s songs in anime.

Hoshino Gen doesn’t really increase his collaborations too much.

If I were to say this knowing I’m being nostalgic,

I think the charm of a seemingly mismatched tie-up song from the 90s to 00s that oddly fits the work like a serendipitous chemical reaction has vanished.

Everyone says it’s become “a really good song” too properly.

>>38

For me, that category is Fullmetal Alchemist.

I want to erase it!

the thing

Even if it’s a good song with a decent person singing it, the animation in the opening can make it feel off, and I’ve been thinking that while watching the current Rurouni Kenshin.

If we think from the perspective of the artist rather than the anime side

If a person is always doing collaborations, it can be hard to understand their artistic style or direction.

This season, a girls’ band with a hard sound, band-maid, and “Hanabire” have been adopted for the opening, and I feel that the range of anime songs has expanded once again.

It doesn’t relate to the content at all, but this song comes to mind when I think of this anime!

Everyone sings in such a flimsy way.

Is this trending now?

>>47

What are your preferences?

>>51

NEVER STOP Changeman

>>51

El-Gaime OP

>>51

The Chambara

Are there any new anime song singers like LiSA recently?

It seems likely that it will lose its freshness from being used too much in various places.

It seems that famous people are being overworked.

Let’s talk about DAIMA.

Thanks to groups like Bump and FLOW, which thrive on both sides of the boundary between mainstream and anime songs, the lines have blurred and the details have become irrelevant.

In the past, anime songs used to be popular, ranking in the Oricon weekly charts, but that trend has faded now.

>>53

First of all, Oricon has lost its value…

>>56

In valuable Spotify rankings, it’s mostly filled with Mrs. Green Apple, who hardly has any anime tie-ups.

Fullmetal Alchemist had an incredibly luxurious theme song.

Whether it’s correct or not is another matter.

>>54

Since that era, it seems that Sony Music has consistently matched the opening theme song of the first season closely to the work, while from the second season onward, they tend to showcase tie-ins more openly.

Recently, things like “Seeds,” “Fullmetal Alchemist,” “SPY×FAMILY,” and “Mercury” as well.

I haven’t seen it in a few years, but I feel like Conan is still using JPOP that doesn’t have that anime song feel.

>>58

The movie is really intense, but with the TV, it’s already fine, fine; it’s become like an opening or something.

>>58

Looking back, the members of ZIGGY in the very first Hi-Lows almost feel like a sign of defiance…

Is there no longer the trend in recent anime to have the opening and ending themes assigned to artists they want to promote?

>>59

That kind of character gets squeezed into the second season or the ending.

>>61

The power-down in the second season of Mercury was quite obvious.

>>61

Ah… it’s true.

>>59

Recently, isn’t it common to bring popular artists to the anime you want to sell instead?

>>59

I’m doing it, but it’s not becoming a topic of conversation.

There are several cases this season where voice actors and voice acting units are responsible for the OP and ED, but none of them have become popular, so it’s understandable that they lean towards relying on well-known names that are gaining popularity.

>>63

It’s like the cause and effect are reversed…

The original work was already popular, and the artist is bringing in a solidly popular property with significant investment.

It’s different from just relying on famous places to gain popularity.

In the end, they don’t sell, so artists want to sell.

In recent years, the trend has been that the songs from the One Piece Film: Red have hit big like crazy, and it’s become something amazing with attention as dances on TikTok.

It feels like the higher-ups have noticed that if they put effort into the works here, it could lead to profits.

No matter how popular the opening and ending songs are, it becomes clear that there are limits to the marketing of the anime itself.

>>70

Dance trends are going viral on TikTok! I feel like there are quite a few cases where the original works are not very well known.

Recently, Kuroi’s hyper has been nicely diverging but it’s working well together, which is great.

Underninja’s OP

At the Mrs. level, the songs stand out too much, to the point where I’m starting to wonder if there were any tie-ups.

>>75

It seems like the only anime I’m watching is Oblivion Battery.

I appreciate that the official releases the video without the opening or subtitles, as I value being able to see it first in the video.

I wonder if Conan’s B-zone restriction will get resolved soon… probably not…

>>78

Instead, movies that everyone watches have become more diverse as they are freed from restrictions…

>>78

It’s because even without doing anything, it sells, Conan.

Even if the voice actors sing, the key point is that the otaku don’t listen, so it’s only natural to cater to the general audience.

>>79

But Bozaro was different.

>>80

Things like in-band anime or idol anime units are a different matter altogether.

I heard that Mashle became popular in its second season thanks to that thing.

Well, even if the lyrics are chosen in a messy way, there are songs that have a certain flavor, but even for voice actors I like, some of them can be a bit difficult to handle…

Masaharu Fukuyama, EXILE, Shiina Ringo, and even the Conan movies have changed, haven’t they?

>>88

The movie was restricted by “Being.”

I think the song itself is okay, but the timing for playing the vocals was all off.

I was sharper back in the FLCL days.

>>89

I think they might change it for TV broadcast since it’s edited as a movie.

I think Conan inherited the tie-up style of late-night anime on Nippon TV in the ’90s, like Vap.

Midway, Mai Kuraki became the honorary theme song artist, but…

As a result of saying that voice actors’ singing is really bad and that it’s unnecessary, they’ve ended up saying, “Then we’ll just ask someone who actually has skill.”

Well, actually, they produce good songs, so I think it’s also good to find a balance without forcing it.

>>93

The solo singing activities of voice actors themselves are currently on the decline, or rather, they have entered a winter phase.

>>93

It’s not that otaku have said no to voice actor songs.

I think the reason is that anime is no longer just for otaku.

Famous artists keep appearing, so it’s more popular to go to a rock festival than an anime song festival to hear trendy anime songs without any effort…

>>95

Actually, Anisama is declining more and more.

Mrs. is a valuable presence that appears frequently in the media despite being so successful.

Because of the high exposure, there are more opportunities to be touched, and it’s becoming popular.

The latter half of the Dungeon Meal opening is so impactful that I’ve been listening to it regularly.

Songs with lyrics that aren’t directly explicit but evoke images of the main story are great, aren’t they?

The anime songs of popular manga give me the impression of Sony Music and Universal Music.

I was thinking, “What does it matter? The voice actor is singing the ending,” and then Dynazenon showed up later.

Recently, I really like the first opening of the remake of Urusei Yatsura and the opening of Maou 2099.

Voice actors have been forming unit groups to sing for the OP and ED all the time.

The division of living spaces has been strict both now and in the past.

>>105

The story is that the number of people singing regardless of their work unit has decreased.

At Anisama, Yu Serizawa’s backing from Avex in MF Ghost was so serious that it stood out as a whole different level.

YOASOBI’s straightforward lyrics, with no twists, are suitable for tie-ups in the sense that even a fool can understand them.

Rumiko’s remake works are quite blessed with music.

I think it’s not a miss.

I thought Hiten was a really technical homage, but it seems to have a bad reputation.

Yeah, when I first heard it, I was like, huh?

It often ends up being whether to use someone who can sing or to force someone who can’t sing to do so, especially if the lead role is made to do it.

Sometimes it feels like, “Oh, it’s the people over here who are singing…”

Recently, it became MF Ghost.

>>111

Well, usually the record label would assign a voice actress to sing the theme song for the heroine.

King Records and Lantis

>>111

With Sakura’s singing ability, it’s about average to a bit below average…

Is there currently a battle for the opening song of Jujutsu Kaisen: Shibuya Incident?

>>113

I don’t think anyone but a popular star would use it anymore.

>>113

The opening theme for Jujutsu is so strong with “Kaikai Kitan,” “Ao no Sumika,” and “SPECIALZ” that it’s a shame it’s leaving one song behind.

>>122

Even the advance of gacha games is strong.

I mean, wasn’t that a song for extermination…?

>>122

When you look at it this way, it’s seriously so strong…

When it comes to the OP of Jujutsu, if you ask, it seems like everything becomes strong enough to start the Three Kingdoms era.

>>147

It’s the theme song, but since the two songs from Zero are perfectly in sync, it feels like we’re really blessed…

I was watching various anime this season, and I was surprised by the variety of idols, singers, YouTubers, and V-tubers.

>>114

I think there are various patterns to the extent that if you only look at the noticeable parts and try to talk about the whole, it will be quite different from reality.

I didn’t like Yoasobi very much, but I quite like “Undead.”

>>115

For some reason, parts of the unused ED are going viral.

>>112

It’s still quite common even now.

I love anime openings where visual bands sing lyrics that have nothing to do with the content at all!

>>121

Is the decrease in this something to do with the momentum of visual bands?

>>124

Well, it was just the time when the visual kei band boom was happening.

>>121

Penicillin is good, right…?

>>121

Specifically speaking, Masaru-san!

I just remembered there was also Gokudo-kun.

I feel that Eve’s collaboration momentum has recently calmed down.

Even now, it’s common for voice actors to be in charge of the opening theme by themselves, but it doesn’t get much attention at all.

I have the impression that nostalgic cover songs are mostly done by voice actors.

>>129

Well, it doesn’t make sense for someone unrelated to the work to cover it, right?

However, the Eurobeat that was forcibly included because Avex wanted to sell it has become the very essence of the charm of Initial D…

>>131

We decided to take charge of the Initial D anime because we want to promote Eurobeat.

It seems that in the case of the “Narou” genre, which isn’t really expected to hit in the music scene, various characters are being used.

Well, the song lacks personality…

Recently, I’ve been hoping that my favorite band will have more tie-up opportunities.

When a song perfectly matches the work, ordinary songs tend to get buried…

As it’s been said, it seems that there are really fewer anime song singers affiliated with labels like Lantis.

>>138

Lantis was too careless with their work.

>>138

I wonder if LISA and Aimer fit into that category.

>>149

Still, I should check out artists like Konomi Suzuki and Asaka.

The image of ED covers has been seen a lot recently, but I actually don’t like them very much.

I want a unique melody for that work.

Even though the song has nothing to do with the content, the openings that are loved usually have skillful visuals added by the anime side.

SPY×FAMILY continues to be compared to mixed nuts.

“Bocchi the Rock” might be misunderstood as Bocchi-chan singing.

There’s not much work for the person who dressed up in cosplay or for Sakura Nogawa, who was heavily featured in the ending.

I’ve been curious about how RAD ended up being in charge of the ending theme for Mazinbone under the pseudonym of a cover band.

I wish the thread images could be used in a way that hits just right, like lemon or electric shock.

Bozaro has started to be invited to events like Rockin’ and rock festivals.

After all, it’s more enjoyable when the music has a higher level of understanding or is genuinely good, so in that case, it’s probably quicker to have someone specialized do it.

I’m glad it’s over since it seems like I couldn’t bring out anything beyond a monster.

>>154

It was the kind of OP that could have artists like Yorushika or those who can sing OPs move to the ED due to its level of completion.

It’s hard to find something like the GANTZ opening by Rhymester that is in line with the content while still retaining its unique style and feels modern.

Isn’t it generally disadvantageous for later releases unless the first OP is really something special?

>>156

I think the opening theme of Ranking of Kings in the second cour by Vaundy is too strong.

I nearly cried.

>>162

I also like BOY.

By the way, it seems that “Boundy” in “Ranking of Kings” put a lot of effort into it, huh?

>>162

The MV is good, but starting with the breath that is cut in the MV is just too good.

Regarding jujutsu, it’s nice that the official OP footage is all preserved, making it easier for it to flow to the artists’ side.

I wonder how it felt to have brought back half of the freckles.

>>158

Since it’s about freckles, it doesn’t really matter because it’s Candy Candy anyway.

Back then, tie-up songs were a priority.

>>158

Both don’t match at all, but the way they turn it into a good OP shows they’re truly a craftsman…

However… if we don’t put effort into OP1 and ED1, the fans won’t be engaged…

It seems that the ratio of otaku among artists is higher than in the past.

>>160

The current generation is mainly one that grew up watching anime, so the situation is different from around the 1990s.

I like the format where the same artist is in charge of the theme song throughout the anime, but it seems that there aren’t many such cases.

>>164

The first thing that comes to mind is Fafner, but I can’t think of anything else that’s that rigid at that level…

>>164

I want to do it if I can, but it seems like there are often times when I can’t secure a spot.

Yonezu’s plazma is not bad, but the bow and arrow that came out at the same time is strong.

>>166

Why are those otaku crazy about going out to promote themselves… ?

>>166

But plasma is more popular, you know.

The tie-up power really comes out, huh?

>>171

Just because the song is strong doesn’t necessarily mean the work itself will be a hit.

>>171

Well, that’s why we’re collaborating with each other…

>>166

Plasma isn’t bad, but I clearly felt that the enthusiasm was different over there.

It seems “Kaiju” topped Spotify on the first day.

>>172

Mrs. & Mrs. Mrs.

>>172

It feels like I’ve single-handedly barged into Mrs. Empire…

>>172

Honestly, Sakanaction is just too strong.

It’s definitely not bad as a tie-up; rather, it’s the best.

>>172

I heard that the initial speed of the flying is the first ever value surpassing Mrs.

Recently, I’ve been listening to this on repeat endlessly.

I’m looking forward to the theme song of Shin-kyoku from now on.

Is it Yonezu-kun or is it YOASOBI-kun?

Yonezu will sing the theme song for ninjas and yakuza!

The lilac exploded dramatically, but did the oblivion battery anime catch on?

>>185

It seems like they can make a sequel and it has become popular.

I’m genuinely curious about how Yonezu enjoys manga and anime within his schedule.

It’s a pity that the opening video of the medalists is a bit stiff.

I remember seeing interviews that clearly mocked anime tie-ups in the past.

The decrease in this is partly due to the ratio of creators who were raised on anime.

It may be largely thanks to social media.

Yorushika is often grouped with Yoasobi and Marasy, but honestly, it’s difficult to entrust their songs to their works.

Monsters are amazing!

Mr. Yone’s two songs couldn’t break through Mrs.’s stronghold either.
