Great anime songs that colored the Heisei era

The 1990s.

Riding the wave of Jump’s golden age, the anime world was experiencing a huge surge in excitement.

One of the factors that fueled this anime boom was anime songs, or “anisong.”

This time, we’re spotlighting some of the most popular anisong from that Heisei period!

They’re all famous tracks that people of all ages have likely heard at least once, so be sure to check them out!
