Addictive Anime Songs That Use Irregular Time Signatures

First, let me explain odd time signatures in a super simple way.

Most music you often hear, like J-pop, to put it roughly, is basically in 4/4 time.

If you clap along to the song four times, that rhythm lines up and loops nicely with the melody and such.

But odd time signatures don’t line up like that.

“You know, when did it suddenly jump to the chorus?” “I was really grooving and then the timing suddenly shifted and it surprised me.” That kind of disorienting beat… as you listen, it becomes addictive.

This time, we’re doing a special feature on anime songs that use odd time signatures.

Please stick with us to the end.
