Crunchyroll have recently announced a partnership that will see Crunchyroll tailored soundtrack playlists on Spotify as well as a dedicated shelf on Spotify’s global Anime Hub.
Spotify is an online streaming platform that allows people to listen to their favorite music, or discover new ones, and during the past few years has seen an increase in popularity with Japanese studios adding soundtracks to the platform shortly after titles begin streaming. It’s also a great way for those who aren’t able to purchase Japanese music to show their support by listening, and following, bands on their relevant profiles.
The new “Curated by Crunchyroll” playlists will be regularly refreshed with new content for listeners, setting up the ultimate anime-inspired queue:
Crunchyroll Anime Essentials – A brand new anime season has arrived on Crunchyroll this summer! Listen along to the music behind the lineup.
The Broody Black-Haired MC – Anguished with a tragic past, this character’s demeanor may intimidate some, but deep down they just need a hug.
The Bubbly Pink-Haired BFF – Always close at hand when a friend is in need, this character brings light, positivity, and an often underestimated strength.
The OP White-Haired Sensei – Underneath their cool, unbothered exterior, this character is an enigma to be unraveled.
The Journey Begins – You are the main character of your own story. The fate of the world depends on you … and of course there are side quests.
The shelf will also include Crunchyroll’s recently debuted hit podcast: Crunchyroll Presents: The Anime Effect Podcast, featuring high-profile guests like Oppenheimer’s David Dastmalchian, rapper Denzel Curry, and J-Pop icon LiSA..
