Who's a non-Japanese musician that you think should do an anime opening/ending song?

Additionally: What series would you want them to do a song for?


I know some k-pop groups have done songs for animes (like 2PM's "Take Off" for "Blue Exorcist" which is a really good song) and anime series have worked with Western musicians like in the case of "Carole & Tuesday." This question applies to a singer/band from anywhere in the world.

I don't have an answer, but I was listening to BROCKHAMPTON's "Boogie" and thought that would make for a fun anime song. This question does not apply to preexisting songs though! I'm not talking a "Serial Experiments Lain" and "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" case here, but the musician making an entirely new song for the anime.

An extremely depressing anime opening with a Mount Eerie song.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Luis Miguel and Chayanne, of course. We've been proven over and over again that their songs match every OP/ED so I don't know why's the anime industry still not hiring them.

Miss Megan Thee Stallion herself doing lit anything would be incredible. She's openly a weeb and maybe something like BnHA would be up her ally since she likes a lot of the characters and even one of the creator's assistants makes a lot of art with her as reference for the bunny girl chick. idk the characters personally but yeah.

Or Paramore for a serious-ish shoujo series would be cool. I just love Paramore personally so-

Well as much as I already got Dawid Podsiadło for an ending.
I'd love to see Daria Zawiałow, Sanah, Brodka, Tymek, Paluch, Kortez, Mrozu, ReTo, Tede, Kizo, Julia Wieniawa.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners already proved for non-polish people that Polish musicians are as talented as Japanese/English ones capable of doing ending/soundtracks/dub songs, I'd love to see more of them in anime music industry.
Examples of their music:

Korpiklaani - An Extended fight scene for Spy x Family where Yor is drinking with a group of socialites and they proceed to do nothing but insult Anya..... Basically, I want a scene akin to the Church scene from The Kingsmen featuring Drunk Yor with a Korpiklaani soundtrack.

Avenged Sevenfold (melodic sound that fits an action packed series)
KMFDM (industrial sound fits some of the darker/edgier series)
Combichrist (same)
Rob Zombie (also let him make an episode or something)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (Wide appeal and can fit a lot of genres)

Eurovision winners from 2021 need to make a whole OST for entire Bizarre Jojo series. Why? Just because.


lol I'd be lying if I said I haven't listened to Måneskin and thought of part five because they're all Italians.

Eurovision x Jojo would be a fun crossover though.

I could see that. Plus, they've already got songs like "Irrelevant Answer" that would fit perfectly in an anime and if it was in Japanese no one would be none the wiser, and shows that they're more than capable of making a good OP/ED song (though I would prefer they do an opening).

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is the only anime I've watched with a non-Japanese musician that produced the anime OP. Based on that song, I would love to see more bands involved in the "anime OP/ED game", so to speak.

I don't have concrete examples for songs I would love to see, so I've quoted the posts I agree with the most.

for a slightly dark/depressing slice of life, I'd probably say "The Neighbourhood" or "Paramore"

for a horror, supernatural, and gorey anime, "Ice Nine Kills". I'd like to see more rock or metal anime op's to be honest

I mean, they're match made in Haven. It's only a matter of time when it will become a reality.


It'd be cool to at least get a Jojo reference in Eurovision (if it hasn't already happened that is). Speaking of which, I just know there's a "Eurovision contestants that could be stand users" thing floating out there on the web somewhere. (Actually, that would make for a pretty fun thread on here.)

Yeah, I really like the inclusion of the violin in their sound. "Snooze" was probably the first song I heard by them and it really left an impression on me. I think Lucy could also do good ED songs, but I say I prefer OP so that their song gets pushed more front and center in this hypothetical scenario. And the song wouldn't even have to be upbeat like "Irrelevant Answer." Their more mellow/heartfelt songs like "Hero" have the potential to be an OP song as well. They've got the range.

I think someone already mentioned him, but I think Porter Robinson and his music gels really well together with anime. I've already seen a number of his songs used in AMVs.
