The Opening Theme or Ending Theme is in a language other than the main language of the country of origin or of the Target Audience. Note that this does not include the use of a few foreign words for flavour. Nor does it include cases where a show is dubbed into the local language but has its theme song left intact. This trope is strictly about theme tunes which are mainly or entirely in a language that the target viewers do not speak in everyday life and the original actors do not speak on the soundstage (or, for voice actors, in the recording sessions). An Ominous Latin Chanting is, of course, in a language that nobody speaks anymore. May overlap with Real Song Theme Tune. Examples |

Since Sonic the Hedgehog CD, most of the vocal themes in the Sonic the Hedgehog games have been exclusively done in English, even in the original Japanese releases. Understandable given the franchise's largely meant to appeal to a western audience despite its Japanese origins. Where this trope really comes into play is in the No Export for You Japanese version of the soundtrack of Sonic CD- where the opening theme and ending theme are in English despite being for a Japanese audience. | |

The first ending theme to Higurashi: When They Cry, "Why, Or Why Not?" by Katakiri Rekka, is in English. Many fans don't realize it's in English due to the singer's accent though (which resulted in such mistakes as the often joked about fansub translation that had the lyrics "I was a believer in life" as "I want to be a river in life"). The song describes the series and what it's like having a high level of Hinamizawa Syndrome. | |

Teen Titans (2003) has both an English and a Japanese version of its opening theme which was unsurprisingly recorded by Japanese pop stars Puffy AmiYumi. The lyrics aren't really a straight translation: The English version (used for most episodes, including all the serious ones) is a basic Expository Theme Tune. The Japanese one (played in especially comedic episodes) is borderline nonsense talking about, among other things, how they obey all traffic rules. Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo has the characters singing a karaoke version of their own theme, but the lyrics are an English translation of the Japanese version. | |

Gundam: The third ending of Gundam SEED Destiny, sung in English. May we present "Human Touch", the first ED of Gundam X by the late great Warren Wiebe. The first ending to Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is called "Magic" and sung entirely in English. The ending to one of the compilation movies for ∀ Gundam, "After All" is also sung in English by Donna Burke. It doubles as an Award-Bait Song, thanks in part to Yoko Kanno's involvement. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure author Hirohiko Araki is heavily influenced by North American and European popular music, particularly progressive rock, to the point where it is focused into his work with major characters in subsequent story arcs alongside their Stand abilities named after various musicians, bands, songs, and albums. When it came to the long-awaited anime series, they sought out some Real Song Theme Tunes to serve as ending themes for each story arc, some chosen with Araki's direct input and with other songs chosen as they were contemporary to the setting. The first season covering both Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency uses "Roundabout" by Yes, later inspiring the To Be Continued meme. Stardust Crusaders first uses "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles as its first ending theme, switching to the instrumental "Last Train Home" by Pat Metheny Group for its second half. Diamond is Unbreakable uses "I Want You" by Savage Garden for the entire broadcast.note Excluding the finale which had opening theme "Great Days" sung by all JoJo theme song artists to date. Golden Wind uses "Freek'n You" by Jodeci for its first half and "Modern Crusaders" by Enigma for its second. Stone Ocean uses "Distant Dreamer" by Duffy for its ending. In the final episode, "Roundabout" by Yes is used to serve as a Book End. |
