Iconic scenes overlap! Anime songs recommended for the yutori generation

Japanese animation has now become a cultural asset Japan can proudly present to the world.

Back in the Showa era, songs made for anime works were simply called “anisong,” but in recent years it’s become commonplace for famous artists to handle anime theme songs, and it’s no longer unusual for global hits to be born from those themes.

With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of classic anisong tracks recommended for the yutori generation.

Every song on the list helped define its era, so be sure to check them out!
