Best anime songs ever from the past until present

Anime is already one of the symbols of Japan.
Otaku cultures including anime, manga, moe games, and voice actor(esse)s are now the biggest hallmark of Japanese cultures.

Economic scale of anime industry is grown bigger than 13 billion dollars a year.
But pure sales on anime itself such as DVDs and Blu-Ray Disks are merely less than whole economic size. There are massive income from character goods, Anime song CDs, entrance fee of the live performances of anime song by voice actor(esse)s.

Especially anime song is now becoming an independent culture.
Anime fans like not only anime itself but also voice actor(esse)s who play roles in the anime.
By making voice actor(esse)s to sing the opening and ending song can save money to pay for independent singer to sing and also make it possible to make brand new songs that fit the atmosphere of anime itself.

Recently, there are a lot of live performances by voice actor(esse)s. The total number of attendees of famous voice actoress's live performance even hit more than 55,000.

Anime song is often called "anison" for short.

The first anison recorded in the history was released at 1944.
