English songs in Japanese entertainment?

[beni 2149]

There's probably already a thread on this and it's probably not the best wording, but this thread is about those English songs done and performed by non-Japanese musicians that are in the OST/credited in any form of entertainment, meaning games, anime and TV/movies e.c.t.

 

The instant one I think of is Franz Ferniland's Do You Want To, which is the ending theme for the anime Paradise Kiss.

 

 

 

I'm sure there's plenty so I'm interested, what else is there? I'll post again with those I can remember.

Long Vacation (J-drama) had a non-Japanese band (Cagnet) contributing their songs actively as themes /episode-related tunes

 

 

Also, let's not forget Serial Experiments Lain either:

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure tv series ED song uses Yes - Roundabout which is an well known old english song that came out around 1970s(?).

To add to Flame-X's post, Part 3 of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure anime uses Walk Like An Egyptian by The Bangles as its ending theme

Well this is random, but one of my fave anime, One Piece, got Avril Lavigne singing two songs for its 2012 movie, Bad Reputation and one Nickelback song lmao
