On March 24th, a new platform was officially launched in Japan that will allow streaming of anime, video games, VOCALOID, and “tokusatsu” (sci-fi films or TV drama that uses special effects) music for the price of ¥600 JPY ($5 USD). The service is called ANiUTa and will be available on Google Play and iOS, having over 50,000 songs available for streaming from all major labels in Japan. It gets better, however, if you are still not convinced, it will also feature many exclusive content such as original TV content and voice actor collaborations! In addition to all this, around 20,000 of the 50,000 songs are available for the first time through streaming on ANiUTa!
Below are just some of the music you can expect to find.
