This thread is for the discussion of anison (anime song), the genre of music made specifically for anime. Whether it be dedicated anime singers, voice actors, idols, as long as the song was made for an anime, it belongs here. Discuss your favorite anison artists and anime songs, and share your events and experiences!Discussion of doujin music, anikura, idols, seiyuu (outside of their music careers), and mainstream Japanese artists go in their respective threads.>Useful links:Aniplaylist: https://aniplaylist.com/Anison Charts: https://anisonpreviews.com/Previous thread: >>50595006

>>50645607Speaking of her, I just realized that she's celebrating 30 years of her anisong career, and released bunch of her old MV, so that's nice
>>50645823Has it really been that long? Wow. Then again, she did debut as a kid. It's rare these days for Japanese artists who debuted that young to last this long, especially in anison.
Why can't more anison artists do arena tours in Japan?
>>50646523It helps that she's a top tier VA, which just gives her more opportunities.>>50647792Because most don't sell out. Only brand names like JAM Project or LiSA sells out their shows.
Reminder now that anime is mainstream old anison singers were pushed out of anime to make way for popular pop artists who dont give a fuck about anime
>>50648030Crazy to think that Konomi hasn't had a solo arena concert since her 20th birthday concert almost ten years ago, and that wasn't even an actual arena like the Yokohama Arena but rather Makuhari Messe's arena (capacity 9,000+).>>50648406It fucking sucks man. Anison artists need more exposure and jobs, not less.
>>50647792Are you insane? The number of anison acts (not counting 2.5d idol groups) who has done arena tours is probably not even double digits
>>50648814There has to be a way to make anison, or at least anison artists, less niche in Japan.
They should have anison singers singing for big-name shows instead of mainstream artists.
Noticed that a bunch of old anime songs have only been added to streaming lately.
>>50654213Any notable title? I only saw the old Bakusou Kyoudai soundtrack being added to celebrate their 30 years anniversary of the anime
>>50654243I just noticed that most of Ayukawa Mami's songs got uploaded in the past 2 years.https://youtu.be/_uCKP-GJyoU
>>50656277Yet for some reason, neither Hyouka ED nor any of the Chuu2 EDs are on streaming yet. Not sure what is going on since ChouCho and ZAQ's songs have been available for ages.
>>50656346I don't think early 2010's KyoAni catalogue musics are completely available. Nichijou and Chuu2 got all of the openings but not of the endings, while Free! and KnK got all of them. I think Hyouka got the worst of it just because they only have OP1 available on DSP. That was also exarcebated with how their OST was distributed in fucking eleven special CD that includes their radio shows.Nichijou also suffers from this as well, and IIRC they're in worse position because it's also split between radio shows, charasongs, and the actual OST CDs.
>>50656401>I don't think early 2010's KyoAni catalogue musics are completely available.Exactly. It confuses me since I don't know if it's a label issue or an artist issue. It's not like Lantis hates streaming because virtually all of their newer stuff is on streaming just fine. One thing I did notice is that, for those older works, those by solo anison singers tend to be on streaming, but those by the seiyuu in-character tend not to be (hence the lack of Chuu2 and Hyouka EDs).
>Nao Toyama is quitting her singing career
>>50657845Interesting she says it’s to preemptively protect her voice
>>50657845She lasted quite a while. The, I can recognize a bunch of characters she voiced, but I can't remember any of her songs.
>>50659978I liked the song she did for Koisuru Asteroid.
I'm surprised that Konomi hasn't had a Budokan live yet after all this time.
>>50663676Who?
>>50664920Yasuno Kiyono, Toyama Nao, and Junna
>>50665161>>50663676Macross Delta reunion?
>>50667106Stop posting hags.
>>50667106Stop posting flops.
>>50667682>>50667688>hags>flops
>>50668029Anon...
>>50668041Blame her label, not her. She is Legend is also doing just fine, and ever since they moved her releases to be digital-only she's been doing well enough in frequently being invited to events and having a healthy amount of solo lives.

>>50670540I liked Maaya's song from S1 better
>>50670540No, it's awful and she shouldn't be allowed to sing any songs
>>50670540Not at all
What's wrong with Kana's songs?
balls-deep in Asaka
>>50672050Imagine how many have had that experience. Do Japanese cosplayers tend to be town bicycles?
>>50674338absolutely
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udu20N9Wn8gI know we're at the point where mainstream artists doing anime OPs and EDs is frowned upon, but it was cool when TMR did it at his peak.
>>50675656It's simple, we just had better producers and musicians back then. Nowadyas it's all over-produced electronic garbage
I like her new toku song
>>50677563Do you think she's hairy down there? Her husband is so lucky.>>50675733It was better when they would make songs that sounded like anime songs, instead of creating songs that just happened to be made for anime.
