One of the most exciting moments one can encounter when watching Anime are the soundtracks. There’s something really amazing on how music expresses scenes and characters in these shows!
And an even better way to see how music transforms different series would be the musicians. As characters that can express themselves through song, there’s something truly memorable with these musicians! Let us find out some of the best Anime musician characters to be shown on screen!
Brook (One Piece)
As the Straw Hat Pirate’s musician, Brook has proved to be an essential crew member! Not only does he bring some amazing tunes to boost the morale of Luffy and the gang, but Brook is also an expert fighter that can match up even against some of the best in the epic One Piece world.
Light as a feather because of his skeletal frame, yet packing a punch with his Gentle Blade style, Brooks swordsmanship is a well-respected asset, that which even fellow crew member (and arguably one of the best swordsmen in Anime history) Zoro acknowledges.
But of course, his music rocks the seas, in which he’s had fans all over the world – and he does win a lot of followers, with his music able to captivate even the largest of creatures!

Ibuki Mioda (Danganronpa)
Danganronpa has its fair share of quirky characters. But one standout, and of course, excellent musician, is no other than Ibuki Mioda. Dubbed as the Ultimate Musician, Ibuki is unfortunately one of the participants of Hope Peak’s Academy’s Killing School Trip. Eccentric and full of energy, her talent in music is apparent when she composed a song that made it big in Japan.
Verging on all sorts of genres, she opted to go the heavy metal route instead. What makes her differ from other musicians is her skill of playing different musical instruments simultaneously – she’s a one-woman band!

But the original songstress that proved music – and love – can transcend cosmic barriers is no other than the amazing Lynn Minmay! Beaming with positivity, the once waitress for the Chinese restaurant onboard the SDF Macross discovered fame and fortune when she won the very first Miss Macross.
But more than touching the hearts and boosting the morale of the ship’s passengers, Lynn Minmay’s voice proved to be the key in stopping the way – her songs reminded the alien invaders of protoculture! Additionally, even if the first Macross movie was released sometime in the 80’s, Lynn Minmay’s song, Do You Remember Love, is still one of the most memorable songs that is associated with mecha!
