The Anime!Anime! website has
revealed the results of its latest annual survey, which sought to find out
which anime songs are the most popular at karaoke. The survey, titled “ What
anime song gets you going at karaoke the most? ”, was conducted in
commemoration of the anniversary of the founding of the National Karaoke
Operators Association in Japan. Since karaoke is a very popular and
Japanese-origin activity, it’s common for anime fans to enjoy singing opening
themes, insert songs, or even character songs from their favorite series ,
generating an atmosphere of enthusiasm among friends and colleagues.
The most notable result was that for the fifth
consecutive year, the opening theme song for the classic anime “Neon Genesis
Evangelion,” titled “A Cruel Angel's Thesis,” performed by Yoko Takahashi, was
crowned the most popular song at karaoke. Its popularity
not only persists among long-time fans of the series, but continues to resonate
with new generations, who recognize the impact of this work on anime culture
and entertainment in general.
The relationship between anime and karaoke has long
been a fundamental part of leisure in Japan, and songs like the one from
Evangelion demonstrate how some musical pieces have become true anthems for
fans. Although hundreds of anime songs are released
every year, the classics continue to dominate the public's preferences,
creating a perfect mix of nostalgia and emotion in karaoke sessions.
