Image Song: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' has image songs and singles for central characters in almost every season; only some of them actually appear in the show. Its live-action adaptation, ''[[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon]]'', has these as well. The Musicals, [[Sera Myu]] also have them in spades.

** [http://www.wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Image_song Here's the full list.] There have been scads of Sailor Moon albums; a lot of money was made off [[The Merch]].

** And then there's [[Stephanie Beard]], who wrote the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kSRUKG1BuU The Real SugaBayBee]". Supposedly it was for her radio character persona, but she had to have at least drawn some inspiration from her [[Americans Hate Tingle|hated character]] in the series. Most people consider it her image song for Rini.

* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' follows the suit, with two character songs for each Mew Mew -- except Mew Ichigo, who got ''five''.

* [[Dancougar]] has some sung by the voice actors themselves. Some of the notable ones are Ai Wa Zankoku No Fairytail and Ai Wa Shitta Yajuu No You Ni. The former was sung by the entire Juusenki Tai, the latter's just [[Kazuki Yao|Shinobu]].

* ''[[Marginal Prince]]'' features a song by any of the characters in [[Once Per Episode|focus of the particular episode]] - episode Nine even features ''three'' of them. This was probably mainly done to promote the [[Dating Sim|game]] the anime is based on, as it main feature is the songs as a "reward" for completing a character route. Luckily, [[Ryotaro Okiayu|most]] [[Masakazu Morita|of]] [[Kenji Nojima|the]] [[Kouki Miyata|seiyuu]] are good singers. Unfortunately, not all songs from the game made it into the anime series (but therefore, some new ones were created).

* ''[[Hidan no Aria]]'' has a few, notably "First Contact" and "Ring a ding on, Riko-rin" for Aria and Riko

* Seeing as ''[[Saint Beast]]'' has an [[All-Star Cast]] of [[Voice Actors]] and began as an audio drama, there are multiple image songs and cds for the series.

* [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] has Madoka's ''See You Tomorrow'' and Kyouko's and Sayaka's duet ''And I'm Home''.

** ''[[Kamen Rider Kiva]]'' gives it a twist in that the primary Riders (and Kiva's [[Multiform Balance|alternate forms]]) all have Image Songs, but these are all sung by TETRA-FANG, a "limited band" formed for this express purpose, with Kiva star Koji Seto providing the vocals.

** ''[[Kamen Rider OOO]]'' also has plenty of these. There's one for each of the main character's "Combo" forms (his base form plus every [[Set Bonus]]), all of them sung by the main character's actor; the two full-on [[Super Mode]] combos are duets with a different character.

* A ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' spinoff single had Lady Penelope singing "Parker, Well Done!" as part of a short dramatization featuring the original voice actors for Parker, Lady Penelope and Jeff Tracy.

* ''[[Dinosaurs]]'' has the famous ''I'm the Baby (Gotta Love Me)'' song and music video, as well as the 1992 album ''Dinosaurs: Big Songs'', which included songs made for the regular characters, all sung by their respective voice actors. A version in Spanish was also released, but it didn't feature the voice actors from the dub (at least not the Mexican dub).
