I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

With TV shows like Freestyle Dungeon gaining attention, the hip-hop scene has been heating up in recent years.

Hip-hop artists are often tapped for anime theme songs, too.

Hearing a cool flow really amps up the excitement for the series!

In this article, we’ve rounded up anime that feature scenes with characters rapping.

These are what you might call “rap episodes.”

You might even be surprised—“Wait, that anime has a rap episode?!”

Creepy Nuts – Otonoke [Official MV] [Dandadan Opening]

OtonokeCreepy Nuts

A thrilling track from Creepy Nuts where music and the uncanny fuse flawlessly.

Skillfully weaving in elements of the occult and suspense, it draws you into an eerie, mysterious world on the pulse of hip-hop rhythms.

Like a ghost story that lingers in the mind, its spellbinding blend of sound and words feels as if it ensnares the listener.

DJ Matsunaga’s delicate beats and R-Shitei’s meticulous wordplay present the consummate form of a musical anomaly.

Airing as the opening theme for the TV anime Dandadan starting in October 2024, it meshes perfectly with the world of a Jump series.

It’s a must-listen not only for fans of works themed around apparitions and the supernatural, but also for listeners seeking innovative musical expression.
