TV Asahi recently surveyed 1,740 overseas anime fans to determine their favorite anime theme songs and Oricon News shared the top 20 here. The results are interesting… I think there’s a lot of recency bias going on. Idol and SPECIALZ over Tank! is crazy. A Cruel Angel’s Thesis is well placed. I have never watched Evangelion (and won’t) but it’s a classic that I listen to regularly.

Music Rotation #1
When I was a young(er) person on the internet learning more about j-pop, my lifelines were the various mp3 rotations scattered around self-hosted domains on the web. Eventually those died out (who even has a personal website anymore? haha… 😬) and transitioned to places like LJ. Of course, they were legally dubious, but fans had to do what they had to do back then.
These days you can stream just about anything, which is great, but playlists don’t really hit like the old mp3 rotations do. So I thought it would be pretty cool to share on a regular basis all the current stuff I’m listening to.
No playlist, just YouTube links. But you can find these songs on your favorite streaming services.
