Songs Sung By Anime Characters

I know that throughout many different anime series, they have many different songs played in them. This thread is for you to recognize WHO you think sings what song. For example, in Rurouni Kenshin, the song 'Heart of Sword' was sung by Kenshin, I'm also positive. Or it was meant to seem like that, just as 'Half' was meant to seem as if it was sung by Misao.

Hmm...well "Heart of Sword" *prods my CAA name*...the voice seems a little too rough-sounding to be Kenshin, but I may be wrong.

The song "Endless Future" at the end of Samurai X: The Motion Picture sounds like Kenshin is singing it. The voice matches EXACTLY.

"My Will" at the end of Inuyasha sounds like Kagome. (I love that song...heh)

Let's see, I'm pretty sure that the Pokemon song is Ash.

That's all I can remember right now though.

If you're curious, you can always look up the song on http://animelyrics.com. Usually they'll tell you who sings the song, and you can match it up with the voice actor.

The op/ed songs on Dirty Pair Flash Mission 3 (Random Angels was the name of the separate DVD; it'd be eps 11-16 on the Perfect Collection DVD) were sung by Yuri's seiyuu and Kei's seiyuu respectively.

That's not what I mean, not the way it sounds. I mean by the lyrics and such...which character do you think would sing it judging by that? By personality, I suppose.

Ah. I stand by my statement about DPF Mission 3 then, because the op song is very sugary (like Yuri) and the ed song very dark and a bit gruff (like Kei).

As I remember, Kenshin...can't sing that well. ^^x

The beginning and ending songs in Fruits Basket sound like Tohru singing ^^

The end theme to cowboy bebop seems to be for spike and julia. I think the opening theme is for the whole crew though.
And the Orphen theme is all about Orphen, except one of the closing themes (I don't remember which, but it's toward the end of the series) is about cleo.

"sound life"... vash sings it once, rem sings it too:)

There is one of these I heard today. It is a remake of the opening song to Evangelion. Cruel angel Thesis sung by the japanese voice actors for Asuka, Misato, and rei. It is really cool!!!

Edit: Oh my oh my!!! I thought of another one. Melfina sings a really enchanting song in Outlaw star.. oh. . . that one still brings goosebumps.

Melfina's cute!! hm mm . . . I say that anime charas are cute often.

Also I believe that the Samurai Girl: Real bout high school ending song is sung by the voice for Miyuki-chan.

oh and yup! you guessed it. Miyuki-chan is cute too!

It seems like spike would sing"Call me Call me" on cowboy bebop for julia

on the Eva soundtracks there are an incredible number of remixes of the ED song, "Fly Me To The Moon", including one sung by Rei.

The Tenchi Muyo! cast sang 'Jingle Bells' and 'Silent Night' in the Christmas special, I believe. I have the mp3s. It's very odd. :eyebrow:

The "Baka" song sung by Akane especially for Ranma. ^^ And who can forget Moonbay's "I am a Transporter of the Wasteland" song?

"Gravity," the ending from Wolf's Rain, sounds like maybe it's Chezza or the blonde lady in the coat.

Actually, Kenshin can sing well. If you heard him sing horribly, then I'm guessing you saw (or rather heard) the American dub, the one by Columbia Tristar, I believe. He sounds awful there because they deliberately made him sound ridiculous during the circus scene, but in the Japanese original, he (voiced by Suzukaze Mayo...who happens to be a woman) was singing a traditional Japanese song and he was very much in tune. Suzukaze Mayo also sang the 2nd ending song, Namida Wa Shitteiru, and lots of the image songs.

Sorry. Just had to say that. I'm rather protective of Kenshin. :lol:

ah..I was going to say the outlaw star ending song, but Xavier249 already got that. it was a really cool sceene though.

Well, the theme seems to have wandered, but I think this could be really funny. Based on character personalities, lyrics, etc, who do I think would sing which songs?

Ryoga (ranma 1/2): 500 Miles (the proclaimers)
Lum (urusai yatsura): Linger (Cranberries)
Hitome (escaflowne): Fly me to the Moon
Dr Tofu (ranma 1/2): There She Goes (sixpence)

Yeah, I saw it on CN. But really, there's no need to be incensed. ^^x Kenshin's bad singing in the American dub almost makes him more adorable...to fangirls...

Kenshin (Mayo Suzukaze) was not the singer of Heart of Sword, that is T.M. Revolution. I know that Mayo Suzukaze sings one of the openings/endings, but it's in her more female voice. As for Half, I don't remember that one too well.

Since most seiyuu are also singers, pretty much all anime characters have at least one image song done by the seiyuu in the character's voice. Occasionally, they also sing the openings/endings. The two that come to mind are Be My Angel by Atsuko Enomoto (Misaki Suzuhara/Angelic Layer) and Over the Fantasy by Kana Ueda (Herba [I think]/Final Fantasy: Unlimited).
