JAM<ref>Japan Animation song (anison) Makers</ref> Project is a music [[Supergroup]] composed of some of the best and most [[Hot-Blooded]] musicians in the universe. It was founded in 2000 by Ichirou Mizuki ([[Mazinger Z]] [!],[[Great Mazinger]], [[Devilman]], ...), Hironobu Kageyama ([[Dragonball Z|"Cha-la Head Cha-la"]], [[Saint Seiya|"Soldier Dream"]]), Masaaki Endoh ([[GaoGaiGar|"Yuusha-Oh Tanjou"]]), Eizo Sakamoto (lead singer of heavy metal bands Anthem and Animetal), and [[Rica Matsumoto]] ([[Pokémon (anime)|"Mezase Pokemon Master"]], [[Pokémon (anime)|"Rival"]], [[Pokémon (anime)|"OK!"]], ..., and voice of [[Pokémon (anime)|Satoshi]]).
 
Currently, the band is composed of Kageyama, Endoh, Masami Okui ([[Revolutionary Girl Utena|"Rinbu -Revolution-"]], [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|"Shuffle"]]), Hiroshi Kitadani ([[One Piece|"We Are"]], "[[Madan Senki Ryukendo]]") and Yoshiki Fukuyama (Singing voice of [[Macross 7|Nekki Basara]] and his single "Makkana Chikai", the OP to [[Busou Renkin]]). Mizuki reduced his status to "part-time member" after the group got off the ground, Sakamoto "graduated" from the group and rejoined Anthem, and Matsumoto left in April 2008 to pursue solo work. They are occasionally joined by Ricardo Cruz, [[Useful Notes/Brazil (useful notes)|Brazilian]] manga translator and [[Promoted Fanboy]], on various recordings and in concerts in Brazil.
 
See also [[Super Robot Wars]], [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]. Not to be confused with the antagonist aliens in ''[[Yukikaze]]'' known as the JAM.

Line 88 ⟶ 86:
* [[Large Ham]]. '''YES, YES, YES'''.
** The members even acknowledge this, to the point where Masaaki Endoh, Hironobu Kageyama and Ricardo Cruz compete on-stage to see who's the hammiest!!
* [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]]: JAM is a fixture at the [[Animelo]] Summer Live anime music concerts, which could easily take up a page of their own.
** If you have never seen/heard anything from the aforementioned concerts, get thyself to Youtube IMMEDIATELY or go to iTunes and look up "Re:bridge." Your mind will be blown.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMPfnu15bZg Here's the Youtube version of both performances (it was a two-day event) edited together]. Now sit down and brace for ''awesome''.
Line 100 ⟶ 98:
* [[Softer and Slower Cover]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbHotqsd0E Rescue Fire!]. Most of the content of ''Victoria Cross'' is like this, although a bit subtler.

* [[Testosterone Poisoning]]: [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue|'''FU-RIN-KA-ZAN!''']]
** ''Break Out'' is essentially a long string of hotblooded buzzwords with very little coherence and a catchy chorus.
* [[The Power of Rock]] (On at least [[Super Robot Wars|three]] [[Macross 7|distinct]] [[GaoGaiGar|occasions]], music by the group or members has been a canon, in-show force to be reckoned with)
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]] (any time you hear one of their songs play in an anime, it <s> usually</s> '''always''' means something awesome is about to happen)
* [[Up to Eleven]]: What they did to [http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ls7oOxUBbYQ Okkusenman]. They took an [[Mega Man/Awesome Music|awesome song]] and made it even more awesome.
