Backstreet Boys
Artist
The Backstreet Boys are an American vocal group formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993, an emblem of the late-90s and 2000s boy-band era that has sold well over 100 million records worldwide on the strength of intricate harmonies and big ballads. Their connection to Japanese anime comes through 'Hanada Shounen-shi,' for which 'The One' was used as the opening theme and 'Drowning' as the ending theme. With production deeply shaped by Swedish pop architects such as Max Martin and Rami Yacoub, the two songs layered international-scale pop-rock over a heartfelt story about a delinquent boy who can see ghosts, a rare case of a Nippon TV anime fronted by an A-list overseas act.
