Anime
Anime music is the songs and scores made for Japanese animated series and films, including opening and ending themes, insert songs and background soundtracks.
Theme songs are usually upbeat J-pop or J-rock tracks, while the scores range from orchestral to electronic. In Japan, songs made for anime are called anison and have been treated as their own category since the 1970s. It is a format and not a single style: what the songs share is the link to a show.
Artists it is known for: LiSA, Aimer, Yoko Kanno, Hiroyuki Sawano.
