* ''[[Digimon]]'' is an extreme example in terms of sheer volume of image songs; for instance, ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'' alone had one song for each of the [[Digi Destined]], one song for each of their Digimon partners, and one song where they sang together, for a total of 36 -- in ''addition'' to ensemble songs and a Christmas album. ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' and ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' also had songs for secondary characters and antagonists. ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' and ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' eventually leveled off on the practice, and ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'' and ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: theThe Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' has none at all, but it's worth noting that ''Savers'' was years off when [[Serial Escalation|the 100th CD]] in the series was released. Tai's [[Image Song]] was used as an insert piece late in ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' proper, Matt performed his in a concert in ''[[Digimon Adventure 02]]'', and several other characters' instrumental themes seem to be derived from theirs (or vice-versa).
** ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' did eventually get an Image Song CD, but [[Demoted to Extra|Yoshi and Lalamon were missing altogether]]. Frustratingly ironic, as their [[Backstory]] is that they met after Yoshi failed in a piano recital and Lalamon ''has an attack called Sing A Song'' which does [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Later in the year, another CD was released that included all new songs from the five "[[The Hero|goggle boys]]" for ''Digimon'''s tenth anniversary.
* ''[[Slayers]]'' has between one to three image songs between each of the major characters (including one of the villians, [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|Valgaav]]), and there is also both the infamous "Maiden's Prayer" duet by Lina and Amelia's voice actresses from the second season of the anime, and a song where the four leads all sing together. However, these are usually overshadowed by the large number of [[Anime Theme Songs]] sung by [[Megumi Hayashibara]]
Line 106:
** The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Ginyu Force]]'s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcgDgwNR1ZE "Sanjou!! Ginyu Tokusentai!!"] is a [[Villain Song]] that is exactly as hammy as one would expect.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'' has image songs for the entire cast as well as many duets. With five CDs, covers by each girl for a song from their respective country from around that era, and a solo for each character (Yoshika got two solos) The ending theme for both seasons are sung by different cast members each episode as well. So far one of [[The Quiet One|Sanya]] and [[Fortune Teller|Eila]]'s duets, "Sweet Duet" has inserted into the end of season two's sixth episode.
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'' is recently coming out with character singles. So far there are only character singles for Mikado, Kida, Shizuo, Kadota, Anri and Shinra. (Izaya's is coming out soon.) Of course, Kida's image song is [[Ear Worm|well known for a certain verse that he repeats multiple times.]]
* The Image Songs for ''[[Kannagi]]'' are the same ones from the [[Karaoke Box]] episode, although with improved vocals.
* ''[[Toradora!]]''
Line 249:
* Each of the ''[[Winx Club]]'' girls has one of these released as part of the ''Winx Club In Concert'' CD. (However, this excludes Roxy, as the album was released before season 4.)
* While not sung by any voice actors from the cartoon adaption, there were a few songs back in ''[[My Little Pony]]'' G1 that described some ponies. The CD was based off the toy line and was European, so it makes sense they wouldn't use anyone from the American cartoons.
* The ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E18 A Friend in Deed|"A Friend In Deed"]] gives us Pinkie Pie's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFIs74TmfI4 "Smile Song"], which perfectly describes her personality. It bears noting that back when it was leaked onto the Internet (as an audio track with no sound effects), many fans speculated that it was meant to be a soundtrack CD exclusive.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4By8YHOnILo Likewise, the extended version of the theme song (as seen on the DVD) can be seen as one for Twilight.]
