DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

A Kyoto-based bassist who loves radio and ska punk. I mostly inhabit the ani-radio scene, but I’m not a professional. I’m a bit unusual in that I’ve built up my anison knowledge through ani-radio. My love of ska punk centers on Japanese bands. I’ve also worked as a staffer at a music studio. I’m always running around in circles every day.

In recent years, it’s become the norm for popular rock bands to handle anime theme songs!

High-energy, fast-paced Japanese rock is a perfect fit for hyping up anime.

These days, many bands have gone nationwide thanks to anime tie-ins, and there are plenty of people who got into anime, fell in love with the theme song, and then became fans of the band.

So in this article, we’ll be showcasing a bunch of anime songs created by rock bands!

A must-read for rock band lovers and anime fans alike.

A track marked by its exhilarating sound and powerful message.

ASH DA HERO’s hallmark mixture rock is in full force, and just listening to it is enough to get you pumped.

Friends is a song written specifically for the anime Uchi Tama?! Uchi no Tama Shirimasen ka?.

While wacci is often associated with breakup songs like “Betsu no Hito no Kanojo ni Natta yo,” this track is packed with a light, cute feel—like a cat out for a stroll.

The anime personifies Tama, a character you often see on stationery and miscellaneous goods.

Even if you mainly think of wacci for heartbreak songs, listening to this track might reveal a new side to them.

By the way, it seems most of wacci’s songs are written by the vocalist Yohei Hashiguchi.

It’s impressive how they deliver such high-quality work in any style!
