Lovely anime song

Including global smash hits! Anime songs recommended for Gen Z

In the past, anime songs were often closely tied to the content of their shows and felt somewhat distinct from mainstream J-pop.

In the Heisei era, however, famous artists’ tracks began to be used, and songs written specifically for anime by those artists even became massive hits.

As a result, the nature and reputation of anime songs changed significantly.

This time, we’re introducing anime songs recommended for Gen Z—those who likely spent their childhood or teen years during that era.

From nostalgic tunes to global mega-hits, enjoy the selection!
