Fans rank the Top 19 anime with the best character songs

In Japan, to really get in close with fans, some series release character songs which feature songs being performed by voice actors as their character from that series. These songs are now very common in the industry and they not only help boost their respective series’ popularity, but the voice actor’s as well. Some of them have even made the Oricon charts!


These character songs have become the basis for the latest anime poll by the rankings website, Goo. They have asked 500 respondents (250 male, 250 female) on which anime series has the best character songs out there. Here are their Top 19:


19, 18 tie) Tari Tari and Tantei Opera Milky Holmes


17) PriPara


16, 15 tie) Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch and Mekaku City Actors


14, 13, 12 tie) Guilty Crown, Shounen Hollywood, Symphogear

When it comes to character songs, musical anime tend to be very popular, so the Top 2 ain’t a surprise at all with K-On! taking the #1 spot and Macross Frontier taking the #2 spot. Although it is a bit of a surprise that iDOLM@STER and Love Live! are at #8 and #9 respectively as both idol series have boasted a plethora of character songs from their members.


Monogatari meanwhile has the the pleasure of having its character songs also serving as its OP songs, because depending on which heroine is being focused on, the anime’s OP will be the character song for that heroine.


and then there’s the #4 ranked Haruhi Suzumiya series which is quite famous for its character songs, and a total of 16 character song singles have been released for the series, and they even include character songs from side characters and even obscure characters like Emiri Kimidori, Kyon’s sister, and even Taniguchi.
