anime music

Anime song (アニメソング, anime songu), also shortened to anison (アニソン), is a genre of music originating from Japanese pop music. Anime songs consist of theme, insert, and image songs for anime, video game, and audio drama CD series, as well as any other song released primarily for the anime market, including music from Japanese voice actors.
The anime song genre was first defined in the 1970s. It later gained popularity from the public when mainstream artists begin releasing songs as tie-ins for anime series. By the 1990s, companies began creating record labels that would exclusively produce anime songs for their series and artists. The increase in voice actors beginning in the mid 2000s led to growing market interest in the genre.
