Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

In conclusion

In choosing anime songs with the theme of friendship this time, I realized that, surprisingly, there aren’t many from Shonen Jump series.

Although Jump is famous for its “friendship, effort, and victory,” it seems that many of its theme songs aren’t closely related to the content of the anime.

Perhaps you thought the same while reading this article? At Rug Music, we also introduce anime songs tailored to a variety of other themes.
