Songs that sound like anime opening/ending themes

[Zeus 7997]

The idea is simple. Post songs by Japanese artists that sound like anime opening or ending themes that aren't anime opening or ending themes. I'll start.

Put all videos in spoilers so the page loads at a reasonable rate

First thing that came to my mind.

I dont really think so but my friend said that this should be the ending for Naruto or something:

 

 

 

but i think that this one should be for some fluffy shojo animu

[seikun 317]

Oh. Is the band and their song not supposed to be typed?
 
This song by Lareine always sounds to me perfect as an ending for a girly anime.

This FEST VAINQUEUR song popped into my head as soon as I read the thread title. xD Would make a cool opening imo.

"Low" by Sleeping with Sirens

[nullmoon 784]

The World by Nightmare! 

 

 

Oh wait...

[rebelstrik 111]

i was thinking about this one:

[Pretsy 1343]

Would be your typical shoujo anime opening:

 

ending:

And how i forgot about this one:

[Flame-X 441]

This would fit in any shonen anime as an OP.

OP for a shounen anime.

 

ED for a shounen anime.

[Number Girl 48]

Boris - Flare and ディスチャージ -grave new world- (no video for this one) - the first one could be for like Bleach or some shit and the second one could be for a darker shounen anime like Death Note et. al., I don't know . . . it's been forever since I've watched anime.

 

 

Eizo Sakamoto - 桃色ハレソラ (also no video for this one) - I've always imagined this to be for a cheesy 90's magical romance/shoujo anime and/or a boy's love

REILA by Gazette

[Umi_Niwa 31]

I think Satsuki's Crystal would be perfect for an anime opening (if it hasn't been used already =P).

 

[Lestat 2167]

Matenrou Opera's GLORIA, mainly because it sounds exactly like Shingeki no Kyojin's second OP.

REILA by Gazette

Suicidal songs as animu songs? NO.

 

When it comes to Gazette though

 

Typical Shounen anime opening

 

 

Ending

also, another good song for Shounen openings (obvious one from me though):

On a related note, I just uploaded an AMV I finished editing last night using D'espairsRay's DEATH POINT song on Highschool of the Dead. I made it very much like an anime OP with the length cut down to 1:30min. It really feels like the song is made for a zombie apocalypse anime because of the tone and the lyrics, at least to me. So check it out if you like.

[seikun 317]

Another song perfect as an ending for an anime series.
 

La'cryma Christi

[Umi_Niwa 31]

I can see this in a shoujo anime opening about time travel super power type of thing or something.

[Zeus 7997]

I can totally see this as another Bleach-like opening, possibly filling a place next to Ichirin no Hana?

[evenor 1655]

Shoujo anime material

[ronluna 17]

ANTHEM - GRIEVE OF HEART

 

This song is like an opening of badass anime. Sugoi!!!!!!

Something for an earlier century based knightly, medieval anime.

[beni 2149]

Honestly thought this was an anime song when I first gave it a listen.
