- And singing in Japanese
I’ll talk about anime along those lines (and characters).

Performing is her passion.
4. Azmaria Hendrics (Chrono Crusade)
Azmaria Hendric is a silent girl who’s socially awkward, has anxiety and is generally too kind to wish “bad” on other people.
She’s a teenager who’s forgiving for people’s actions, partly because she’s religious.
But when you hear her voice and the way she sings, it only makes sense why Azmaria is kind, gentle and pure type of character.
She has some of the best singing I’ve heard from an anime character.
It’s soothing to hear.
5. Carole Stanley (Carole Tuesday)
Carole Stanley is the main character of this 2019 anime series. She’s the outgoing dere-dere type of anime character with dreams to become a musician.

Yui Hirasawa is the next singer besides Mio Akiyama in K-On!
Yui’s childish, airheaded, but kind, sweet and makes everyone around her happy and more optimistic.

10. Masami Iwasawa (Angel Beats)
Masami Iwasawa is the guitarist and singer from Angel Beats. And she plays a vital role in terms of emotional appeal, sad anime moments and more.

Yui is another singer in Angel Beats who specializes in playing guitar. But she’s not to the level of Masami.
