Trivia of the day

Some of the old promotional Images 765PRO used include references to other media, such as Azusa copying the iconic Marilyn Monroe pose.

It goes without saying that most anime theme songs are in Japanese, and performed by Japanese musicians. However, we also have some South Korean musicians performing Japanese versions of their existing song and used as an anime theme song or making an original song in Japanese and are given tie-ins to an anime. We would also have songs from western musicians that are sung in English like the OneRepublic songs for Kaiju no. 8, This Fffire for Cyberpunk Edgeru ners or the Backstreet Boys songs in Harada Shounen-shi.

But what about songs from non-East Asian musicians that are in Japanese and used as an anime theme song? How many of them do exist, anyway? AFAIK, some of the non-Japanese Hololive talents have done this, such as Mori Calliope's songs for Gachiakuta and Patlabor EZY, FUWAMOCO's latest song for the latest season of Reborn as a Vending Machine, and a cover of We Go by some Hololive talents used as the theme song for the remastered version of One Piece's Fishman Island arc. There's also Beverly, a Filipino singer based in Japan whose songs were used for Fairy Tail, Azur Lane, Fruits Basket (the new one), and also the last Pokemon feature film in the Ash/Satoshi era, Secrets of the Jungle.

Are there more songs like that?
