| Hiya everyone, there's some ideas for threads I've been considering but this thought has been burning for a while... This is a more straight-forward topic and should hopefully be a breath of fresh air for those who hate scrolling through my detailed threads... (I haven't been this simplistic with my threads in a while...) though I suppose it's also that there isn't much to say as background info or anything haha. We all love music—right?—and many of us love anime openings and end credit sequences. I mean, asking people what their favorite anime OPs and EDs are a pretty popular topic here on the Anime Discussion board. But what if you found an OP that had such an awesome song that you couldn't help but replay it constantly... and then find out that the artist behind it doesn't produce anime songs anymore? This brings me to this topic—are there any bands you wish came back for more OPs/EDs? This is primarily about music bands since those are most likely to stop producing after a while, but you can include individuals too. Below are my top three picks on this. ★==============================★ 3. Kalafina Kalafina (2007-2019) was this awesome J-Pop band with three very talented main female vocalists formed by (nearly) everyone's favorite composer, Yuki Kajiura. Seriously a shame that they disbanded a while ago, I will always love their work in the Madoka Magica franchise and I will totally miss hearing their awesome performances when the 4th movie Walpurgis: Rising / Rotation of Walpurgis comes out. ★==============================★ 2. savage genius Holy shit is savage genius (2001-2007) underrated... I found out about them from the equally underrated anime Uta∽Kata, and I would love to see more anime that featured them. I know Pandora Hearts is known as a bad adaptation, but I'll watch it just to look forward to Yuki Kajiura's music and the ED they performed for it! Apparently this band is technically not discontinued, but one out of the two members have retired and the band hasn't made anything new since. ★==============================★ 1. Field of View SO SHORTLIVED, WHAT THE HELL?! Field of View (1994-2002) only ever performed TWO openings and they both rock!!! The most well-received thing about Dragon Ball GT is apparently the opening, and it honestly deserves the praise! And of course, everyone's probably seen me shilling it lately, but Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Season Zero is awesome and its OP is frickin awesome!!! Definitely would be in my top 20 anime openings from the 90s for sure! PLEASE COME BACK— But those are just some of my picks... how about you? Any bands/artists you wanna see return for at least one more OP? Happy discussing ♫ !  |

| I'd be lit if One Direction came back and.... oh? 1D is a band again? WHAT?! the topic say MORE OPs/EDs and they don't write anime music?! darn it :/ my pathetic attempt at jokes aside, this is a very oddly specific topic |
| My poor signature was removed because it “took up too much space” |

| The Who already performed an anime OP. I need more with The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Doors,... The genuine answer to my wonder is The F***. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I was going to say savage genius. But OP already said it, lol. But really, there's a better answer for me to cite: Melocure. While they've just done music for relatively unheralded series, like Stratos 4 and UFO Princess Valkyrie, their one and only one album is my favorite album of all time. They're a duo formed by Megumi Hinata and Ritsuko Okazaki. Okazaki's songs are particularly my favorite. She did the music for other series before forming the duo, including the songs for Fruits Basket -- the original series, that is. Unfortunately, they can't get back together even they wanted to. Ritsuko Okazaki passed away in 2004. Right after they'd released their first album. ;_; Rest in peace, o angel of song. Thank you for blessing this world with your music. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| stereopony, PLEASE COME BACK OMG :( |
| The Jackson 5, The Glenn Miller orchestra , and your neighbors band he played in while he was in college |
| The Sketchbook Hiroshi's voice was flawless |
| The Sketchbook - I really wish they would come back, they had great sound, great songs and the lead singer had great vocals. They were amazing |
 |
| Claris? I know they weren’t disbanded completely but That’s my answer indrawn said: stereopony, PLEASE COME BACK OMG :( Hitohira no Hanabira ga... |
 |
| I was going to say ALI but then I found out that they have came back sooooooooooo kalafina And I don't know if does counts because they sort of came back but them too I guess |

| Came here to talk about Kalafina and how almost everything they've brought out have been incredible, but they seem to be covered ig - I'm glad but also a little disappointed that they've already been mentioned - I don't really have anyone else to talk about, so allow me to harp on about them. Admittedly, I'm a little biased towards anime featuring their vocals (and Yuki Kajiura's music), like Fate/Zero (Manten, to the beginning), Kara no Kyoukai (overture, oblivious, sprinter, ARIA, seventh heaven, ongaku, fairytale, snow falling, dolce, etc.), Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (believe, ring your bell), Madoka Magica (Magia), etc. Ofc, they're all really good anime in their own right, but Kalafina's songs really added a new dimension to whatever was going on (notably Manten from Fate/Zero and Magia from Madoka Magica). While watching the Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel trilogy, I vividly remember thinking that it would have been great if Kalafina's songs had been featured considering the tone of those movies (but Aimer did a fantastic job, so I don't have any complaints). I have a half a mind to watch all the other stuff featuring their songs, lol - I'm definitely checking out Aldnoah.Zero and So Ra No Wo To someday. Considering the fact that they were originally brought together just for the Kara no Kyoukai series of movies, they did enjoy a long tenure, but I'm sure everyone will love having them back again if it's at all possible. |

| Whaaat I didn't even know Kalafina disbanded! Bummer, but I guess them |
| desu desu binches |
| Eufonious, Asuza, and Ray. Eufonious was in hiatus for a long time period and I kinda miss their music. Asuza and Ray were retired from singing and they focused on their personal lives. |

| I grew up with 2000s anime, I miss the "combination" Kawada Mami and Kotoko in the same anime. Also when anime like Hajime no Ippo and Major used songs from same band for their OPs (Shocking Lemon for Ippo and Road to Major for Major). Attack on Titan also did it for modern fans to at least know what it feels like to have an unique band sang multiple songs for your favorite anime. |

| Goose House, The Band that did Your lie in April OP 1. |
| It would be Soul'd OUT. I really like their VOODOO KINGDOM, which perfectly represents Dio. Sadly we couldn't watch the Phantom Blood movie and the song goes wasted. If they were still not disbanded, I wished that they could do the opening or OST for Jojo anime. |

For me it's Galileo Galilei , I am surprised nobody mentioned that. |
  |
| I'll be frank, I don't keep tabs on anime bands too much, but heading out to a wider view of music, Hungary's Wisdom disbanded 3 years ago, and would be excellent for an anime OP, not that they've ever done any, but I guess that's something. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |

| I'd love to see ORESAMA back to making OP's, don't think they've been making things since 2017/2018 (idk if they disbanded though) kinda the same with Myth and Roid. Didn't really disband though more like the lead vocalist left and now their songs are more the batshit crazy type (kinda like an electronic version of Cö shu Nie) Fario-P said: Atlos said: Whoa, wait, ALI came back?!?!

cornonacob said: Yuki Kajiura's not a producer, she's a music composer. She brought Kalafina together to sing the songs she composed (originally just for Kara no Kyoukai, but they decided to continue for a lot longer due to the success they achieved).elnino02 said: Right?

Yeah, I'm also glad they're doing well with their solo careers, they even collaborate once in a while (FictionJunction was one such instance). I do wish they'd also work together as a group like back in the day, it's such a shame. |
| We need to bring back kalafina or else... |
s10814986 said: FINALLY someone else agrees with me on this, thank you!!It's been said already but "Field of View". "kawaita sakebi" and "Dan dan kokoro" are amazing songs with great composition and it's a shame they disbanded before they really got big. Everyone else understood my other two picks (even on savage genius), but it's sad that Field of View doesn't get more love on these forums... |
|
| Definitely Kalafina, I'm a huge fan of their work. |
| For me, it would definitely be Round Table featuring Nino |
[center][img]signature.png[/img][/center] |
| dunno if they are disbanded but I would love to hear more of LM.C and NICO touches the walls |

Field of view's singer, Yuya Asaoka (stage name U-ya Asaoka) is still quite active to this day. I remember him singing the op for the Tokusatsu show, Gransazer in 2003. Sadly he doesn't seem to be singing any anisong for his solo career |
|
| Off the top of my head, I'd like for AOP to come back. Loved all of their Osomatsu OP songs and for any future OP of Oso that comes out. I should check out their songs they've done outside of Oso. Literally disbanded back in March this year. |

Koshi_Inaba said: I was about to ask "I hope that return isn't temporary" before the edit, wow that's great!! I hope they decide to perform anisongs again though.Fario-P said: Oh wow, really? That's good to hear, though it sucks he won't sing anisongs anymore. Okay, I just read that they actually reformed in 2020 for two live shows in Tokyo and Osaka. This was done to promote a new compilation album for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the band's debut with 5 new songs and previously unpublished songs included. http://uyax.jp/?p=1740 Also, they have decided to continue to perform even after that. "FIELD OF VIEW 25th Anniversary Special Live", which was postponed for one and a half years was performed at Esaka MUSE on October 9th and 10th, 2021 and Shinjuku ReNY on October 15th and 16th. During the performances, it was announced that the activities of FIELD OF VIEW will continue after 2022. |
|
| Definitely GARNET CROW!! I love the main vocal voice so muchhh T _ T They made so many OPs and EDs, especially MÄR and Detective Conan (all MÄR openings are by them haha). They disbanded a long time ago but still... |
  𝑇𝐼𝑃𝑆 𝐼𝑁 𝐺𝐼𝑁𝑇𝐴𝑀𝐴 - NOT your usual shounen anime - Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG - Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons - Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers - BIG patience for its 'slow' start |
chiricoS said: Definitely Kalafina, I'm a huge fan of their work. Same here. I wouldn't mind Aqua Timez and maybe High and Mighty Color/Nico Touches the Walls. There maybe other good bands that have disbanded I'm not aware/forgotten that has done anime theme songs. |
| Ho-kago Tea Time; They did all of K-On! OPs & EDs |
