I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Back in the 1990s, it still wasn’t the age of the internet.

These days, late-night anime and VOD subscriptions are the norm, but when you think of 90s anime, it was all about those early evening broadcasts.

Many of you probably spent your grade-school days rushing home after classes and turning on the TV right away.

This time, we’re featuring anime songs from that nostalgic 90s era!

Be sure to look for tracks from the shows you were obsessed with.

They’re great picks to keep in mind for karaoke, too!

Anime songs that were hits in the 1990s: recommended masterpieces and popular tracks (91–100)

Infinite Ryvius dis with lyrics

dis Arisaka Mika

With a grounding in Black music and boasting exceptional vocal prowess, vocalist Mika Arisaka’s debut single also served as the theme song for the TV anime Infinite Ryvius.

From the intro alone—kicking off with weighty choral work—the track makes a huge impact and leaves a powerful impression as a modern classic.

The mid-song rap, too, reflects an arrangement style that captures the late ’90s, when genres like R&B and hip-hop were becoming widely listened to as part of J-pop.

The anime itself featured content that was shockingly emblematic of the very end of the ’90s era.
