JaME’s Anime Theme Playlists #3 & 4
Take another trip into the eclectic world of anime themes with our team's latest pair of Spotify playlists.
It's no wonder that an anime tie-up continues to be one of the fastest ways for a Japanese artist to gain popularity overseas. When a song is connected to a
dramatic arc from your favourite show, it’s hard not to fall in love or, at least, to get a bit nostalgic when you hear it again.
That's certainly been the case for many of our team members.
So, continuing on from our first two anime theme playlists, we have two more collections of memorable anime opening and ending themes to share. In these playlists, you'll find time-tested classics that almost any anime fan will recognize, as well as some more recent discoveries that you may not have gotten around to adding to your Spotify library yet. They each offer a diverse mix of tracks ranging from sweet, innocent pop to rousing rock anthems and even some hard-hitting metalcore, pop punk and electronic tunes, so we're confident that there's something for everyone to enjoy.
You can give the playlists a spin below, and we've also listed the series the songs were used in, so you can test your anisong knowledge by trying to match them to the tracks (without cheating, of course).
