Anime song ranking
Getting rid of stress after a test, I found a tv show presenting a ranking of popular anime songs.
The differences between that ranking and one that would be done in Brazil were visible (although I would refrain from using that as an "official ranking"... many of my Japanese friends disagree with that one).
First, many popular songs in Brazil didn't get high positions. 「残酷な天使のテーゼ」 (Zankokuna Tenshi no Teeze) from Neon Genesis Evangelion was around 25th and 30th, 「そばかす」 (Sobakasu) from Rurouni Kenshin was in 22nd. No music from Naruto ou Doraemon animes ranked.
Second, some songs that few may know in Brazil ranked high. Mostly from series popular in Japan, but not famous abroad like Max Heart (this one seems to be recent and I believe it has a chance to appear in Brazil. It's Sailor Moon-like), Hokuto no Ken, Cutey Honey and Touch (ranked 2nd). I've heard some of these musics in Japan... either in stores or in karaokes.
Even so, somethings were similar (to a certain extent). One Piece ranked between the top 5, Gundam also ranked high (hum... maybe I should have included this one in the "different" part) and 「CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA」 from Dragon Ball Z was in 3rd.
They considered live actions as "anime" too, so Kamen Rider and Super Sentai also entered the rank (as groups. The opening of the first Kamen Rider and the Magiranger ending theme represented the groups). When talking about the Sentai series they mentioned the Power Rangers, but only as an American version of Zyuranger with American actors/actresses in some scenes. They thought it was strange... yet they don't seem to really know the real extent of the change (like it's been done to all series after that).
In time, I don't know when the program was recorded, but Kageyama Hironobu (DBZ) mentioned a trip to Brazil "this year" and praising how everybody was singing along, even though he was singing in Japanese.
Ah... of course. The 1st one... that was the Yamato opening theme, for those who know it.

As unicas musicas de anime que eu lembro sao "Fly me to the Moon" (que eu na me lembro de qual anime era) e a do Serial Experiment LAIN ("I'm falling, I'm fading..."). Por que sao as unicas que lembro? Vai saber...
"Fly me to the Moon" eh o encerramento de Evangelion. A abertura de Lain eh "Duvet".
Vc nao lembra da abertura de Evangelion?? Acho que se vc ouvir vc lembra, Dan.
E "Fly me to the Moon" acho que era originalmente uma musica do Frank Sinatra...
