Ce contenu est une compilation d'articles de l'encyclopédie libre Wikipedia.An image song or character song is a song on a tie-in album for an anime, game or dorama that is usually sung by the seiyū or actor of a character, in character. It is meant to give a sense of the personality of the character. Image songs are considered an important part of an anime or dorama''s success, as they often provide insights to a character that may otherwise go unexplored on the program itself. The series creators may also include details about a particular character''s design stages and evolution, and on occasion even design sketches so fans can see for themselves how a character changed. There may also be comments from the seiyuus or actors on how they feel about playing their characters. Sometimes image songs are incorporated into the anime itself, such as Kyōran Kazoku Nikki, which has each of its main characters sing an image song as the ending theme, each with its own animation. Another example is Prince of Tennis, which has the openings and ending songs for the OVA episodes sung by characters in the anime. Image songs are not restricted to anime protagonists
