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: >>50770622
Halca is fun, though her voice is an acquired taste.
>>50826509I know she's 36 now but she really hasn't aged well.

>it's the new season already and dedicated anison singers are still in decline and utaite/mainstream artists/VTubers are still taking overWe are never getting past this are we? I blame Shueisha and the like for chasing mainstream audiences.

>>50836358She needs to drop the cage and properly show her face already. It's not like people don't know how she looks like: she got doxed ages ago, so pics of her face are already out there in the wild.
>>50835899What's she been up to lately?
wtf really happened between the kalafinas and kajiura?https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/3025273/?cid=wohk-yt-2603-tdcjKajiuraYuki-hp>alleluia with different singersdid the reunion show really happen? any new music? all i can say is that their solo stuff was mid
>>50836415came back to perform at the Aria 20th anniversary concert last year, she's been away from her music career otherwise
Speaking of career, did Karen really disappear after she graduated for ClariS? I remember the reason she graduated was to start a family or something. And did we ever find out what happened to Alice?
>>50836510>wtf really happened between the kalafinas and kajiura?I genuinely think that there's a bad blood between them. Between Kajiura not present in the reunion, and Kalafina supposedly scrubbed everything Kajiura-related in the Ghibli wo Utau page, I can't think of anything else that happened. Maybe 2018 was really a culmination of disputes, clashes, and disagreement that ended up in a disband>did the reunion show really happen? Yes, but as I said, only at the Vocalists side, with no Kajiura attending there.>any new music?I don't think so. The new Madoka movie should answer that, but at this point, God knows if the songs that will be performed are composed by Kajiura or not. At least we know Kajiura is scoring the movie.
>>50836805I thought they disbanded in 2018 because Kajiura was forced out and Kalafina didn't want to continue without her?
>>50836842I mean, that is the general assumption, but looking it back now, I wonder if there's more to it than all the press release at that time. Maybe the trio felt that they can do it without Kajiura overseeing all of their performance, and Kajiura herself saw that Kalafina had become too big to have an exclusive creative decision by herself.
>>50836415probably retired
Can't believe Mashiro quit anison when she had such a promising start and she was pushed by Fate and Sony.
>multiple anime songs this season sung by K-Pop artistsThis scourge makes utaite and VTubers seem acceptable.

>>50844270And her first new tie up is some cuck dorama
>>50844320Cuck dorama?
>>50845915Yeah, "余命3ヶ月のサレ夫">[Season 1] Architect Aoi (29) married his wife Mizuki (28) three years ago. They had a son, Ren, and were living happily, but... Aoi is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and given three months to live. Aoi decides to fight the disease for the sake of his wife and son, but his beloved Mizuki is having an affair with a wealthy CEO...!? [Season 2] "I'm going to have my wife abort our child within three months," Yurika overhears her husband Gaku on the phone. Yurika thought they were a loving couple. It's true that they had been undergoing infertility treatment for two years because she couldn't get pregnant, but when she finally became pregnant after all that effort, her husband was overjoyed. ...But then she learns that her husband is actually having an affair with a junior colleague at his company. As her husband tries to force her to have an abortion within three months so he can remarry the junior colleague, Yurika decides to take revenge.
>>50844270Fun fact: she was born on the exact same day the first expedition to the ISS arrived there.
Nanjo album after almost 3 years. And it is indeed Warner now.
>>50847191Wonder when the Warner back catalog like the Danmachi and Index stuff will finally be on international streaming.
It's Mayu Maeshima's birthday today.
>>50834017Who is Nakamura Hak? Her socials are completely empty, she also sings in some ongoing TV drama. https://x.com/hak_nakamura
>>50834017>>50852964When did she debut?
>>50852964She's new, this is her debuit.
>>50855155But you said she was in some ongoing drama
What went wrong with Mashiro Ayano and ACCAMER?
>>50855295That is also her debut. They're marketing her as a """mysterious""" singer, so there's not much info on her.
>>50855557>They're marketing her as a """mysterious""" singerWhat is it with their obsession with mysterious singers? Not even the utaite kind either.
>>50852964I was doing the same search a week or two ago. I wonder where she got poached from. Probably was just doing utaite or similar activity before.
>>50856158Wonder why the mystery then. And what is it with labels launching newbies with big-profile anime immediately, and why do such launches tend to fail?
Her participating in two lives a year ago is the only thing I could find.https://x.com/15shoujo/status/1948971340792561954
>>50859622>>50860401Try to find more info, or even pics
>browse twatter>come across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67savzAM2xs>expected it to be some random k-pop hoes>it's ClariS>mfw
>>50863385It just hasn't been the same since Karen left.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7u3ISKPujUThoughts on Amamiya's song? She both wrote the lyrics and composed it.
I feel depressed when I see all these artist names in anime and don't recognize most of them.
Potato
>>50865987LiSA is so thin now
>>50865987two corpses
https://youtu.be/nMae3Fx8X38
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0N9ruySK6si don't think she considers herself an anison singer yet she is
Kinda sad to see e-stone to two artists, none of whom seem to be doing particularly well.
oh no
>>50871321For a moment I thought it was LiSA herself who smelled.
>Singer-songwriter Nakamura Hak, despite being completely unknown, has been chosen to perform the theme songs for the anime adaptation of the hugely popular manga "Witch Hat Atelier," which has surpassed 7.5 million copies, and for a highly anticipated terrestrial TV drama. This work is not digitally distributed, including streaming services, and is released as a limited first pressing on CD only. All seven tracks are recorded with absolutely no correction or editing whatsoever. They are recorded in a single take with only vocals and acoustic guitar, played simultaneously by himself. Precisely because this is a genuine LIVE REC, it captures the taut atmosphere, piercing breaths, friction, and wavering. This is not a fixed and unchanging "audio source (record)," but "music (memory)" that is reborn again and again every time it is played, not reproduced in the literal sense. As a purchaser bonus, a free admission ticket for an "out-store live" is enclosed (valid only in Japan). *This is a "Sumapura" compatible product, which enables you to listen to and view the contents on a mobile device. *This service expires two years after the release date. [Important Notes for "Sumapura" compatible product] No refund is possible after this product is sent. The record company has designed and optimized "Sumapura" for the market within Japan and registration at "Sumapura" site, available only in Japanese language, is required. They do not guarantee that it works outside of Japan.Oh come on.
>>50873047Feels like this is gonna backfire. Do they really think a brand new artist doing the total opposite of accessibility can pull that off? Feels like a gimmick.
Can someone please explain to me the logic of debuting a new, "mysterious" singer, and deliberately not having his song out on streaming or online, requiring a limited-edition release to listen to it? If that isn't an anti-promotion then I don't know what is.
>>50876297It would work if the song wasn't so mediocre
>>50876297I agree that it's a dumb move but at least it's a separate EP that doesn't contain any song from the anime or drama. 1500 yen is also surprisingly cheap for an album.
>>50876507>>50876788I really want to know whose brilliant idea this was because I want to know if they understand the modern music industry or not.>>50876507I could see artists getting away with it if they were popular established artists, but a brand new debuting artist?
>>50876297>>50876788>>50876938Kind of reminds me of some guy named Makishima Hikaru last year. Nobody knew who this guy was and then suddenly the OP for Sentai Red Isekai became far and away his most popular song.For a few months, the song was on my front page daily for some reason and the view count went up by tens of thousands each day, and this was after the anime ended.The song is good but the anime was great. So maybe in the case of >>50873047, they're hoping the anime does the heavy lifting.
>>50878831Was it organic? What happened to him after that?
>Hak's song still not out on streamingSo I'm really guessing they're going all in on this mystery gimmick.
>>50878961He hasn't done much since. He has an OP for another anime last season but it's ehh.He seems to be in a musical troupe.
>>50882211Guess the gamble didn't pay off then.

>>50892976 (Me)Here is his personal statement. Skimming for a bit, it seems there are some falling out in regards of management policies, and Tabuchi (the bassist) was considering to quit?https://x.com/SUZUK1TAKAO/status/2048733904971210976
