| Only reconize Sousei no Aquarion and Kiseki, but interesting list anyway. |
| The biggest question is how many non-Japanese TV / radio companies lawfully play Japanese songs. If many of them neglect the copy-right law, the reliability of the ranking is questionable. |

| lol @ aquarion, srsly XD Tis an awesome song, but the show sucked. |
dtshyk said: The biggest question is how many non-Japanese TV / radio companies lawfully play Japanese songs. If many of them neglect the copy-right law, the reliability of the ranking is questionable. The alternative radio of Here plays them. Once in a while. But, as anything there, they are extremelly alternative and weird. Besides them, never heard, anywhere, only at online radios, by request. But it makes all sense that only an obscure station would pass obscure music. The Japanese marketing does not dedicate enough to Europe or the States to make contracts with stations. |

| I love the Ashita no Nadja BGM! *hugs her OST CDs* I am not surprised that it won this because the anime is licensed almost everywhere EXCEPT for the US. I have collected the dubbed opening song in Spanish, Italian, French, Korean, and Portuguese. Waltz no.5 is my favorite song from it~ I am just sad that the OSTs don't have the really pretty piano version of it used in episode 26 *sigh* Ashita no Nadja is great, I wish it would get licensed here. It's sort of like a cross between a world masterpiece theater anime + sailor moon - magic + a little reverse harem, haha. It's very shoujo, but it gets pretty cruel/messed up towards the end ^^ I have an Ashita no Nadja fansite HERE |
| Like Shoujo? Visit: Emily's Random Shoujo Manga Page |
| Lol where were these songs played? Korea? i know I didn't hear em any time in the past five years. |
| BGM, huh? Yeah, I've had dealings with them a few times. lol. Oh yay!! "Kiseki" got third place! I love that song, and I love the PV as well! |
 |
| If even that female seiyuu popularity assessment we got in which google hits were used as the source is a bit questionable in regard to accuracy, this ranking according to rental fees is even worse. |
dtshyk said: I don't get why this isn't in first place. :(The Second Prize: "Sousei no Aquarion" (Sousei no Aquarion OP) |
| this is all LIES. |
  |
| Oh look more songs for me to put into my iPod... |
| Hello! |
| Kudos to anyone who don't know Doraemon. You people are beyond ignorant. |

| I'm actually not surprised. The Ashita no Nadja BGM is pretty versatile. And yay for Kiseki... if that's the song I'm thinking of. I love love love that song. |

| this article seriously fails in the details department :/ |
jacobpaige said: this article seriously fails in the details department :/ because JASRAC doesn't give us much information... so what detail do you want? |
| I have never heard any of these on European TV/Radio for as long as I can remember (and that's long), so what, is the non-japanese lands must be other Asian country's or something.. |
dtshyk said: jacobpaige said: this article seriously fails in the details department :/ because JASRAC doesn't give us much information... so what detail do you want? enough information to actually identify the songs, also I'm not really sure what BGM means, thought it meant background music but I'm not sure that that makes sense in this context. |

It does. The most frequently played anime song outside Japan is Ashita no Nadja background music. |

As far as I googled around, the "BGM" of anime means the set of songs used in the anime except for the theme songs (OP and ED). I guess it's convenient for TV / radio producers to pick up good songs from anime sound track CDs. |
| interesting watching Aquarion atm and luvin it :( |
