Anisongs that were hits in the 2000s: a nostalgic collection of legendary tracks

We’ve put together a collection of anime songs that anyone who grew up in the 2000s will undoubtedly find nostalgic.

Some are original tracks made for the anime, while others are tie-in songs.

Each and every one of them still sounds fresh today.

There are probably people who discovered these artists through anime, grew to love them, and are still following them now.

We hope this article—and the songs themselves—help you remember those wonderful feelings from back then.

It also works great as a go-to karaoke song list.
