AGM Genre 1: Pop Shounen

POP SHOUNEN
Such as I have announced, this week's focus is Pop-Shounen - a "genre" of anime music. I will use this "genre" to talk about the types I myself classified AGM songs into, maybe it's not a proper and exact classification but it's somewhat right and easier for those who want to find the music suited themselves.

Pop-Shounen songs are the catchy, exciting songs, usually sung by boyband and used as opening theme of an anime. These songs also express willing, have a little epic, can be used to warm up atmosphere. I think there're many of us who like to turn the volume up to maximum when watching the opening of these anime, just to make the others hear it, and talk to yourself "Well, isn't it impressive, everyone?".

Pop Shounen is one of most important parts of anime music.These are some of best Pop Shounen songs, they are also candidates of AGM 2009 award: (random sequence)
