Anime songs & albums releases - April 2024

They say April is a time for growth. Growing your playlists that is, because the month of April brought a load of new songs to streaming services!

Firstly, fans of Frieren should know that their journey has not come to a complete halt just yet! The series' OST, composed by Evan Call, has been released onto streaming services - just in time to add it to our playlists for our own journeys of a lifetime or well-earned celebrations over the upcoming summer!

Any Faylan fans out there? April brought along her discography too! That means you can now listen to songs from anime such as Seikon no Qwaser, Mirai Nikki and The Disappearence of Haruhi Suzumiya.

And I'm making a call out to all the idol fans out there. After such a long time of waiting, the Ensemble Stars discography has officially been made available. This isn't a lie from some Valentine Eve's Nightmare - all of your favourite songs from Trickstar, UNDEAD, Knights, Ra*bits, Valkyrie, Akatsuki, Eden, Switch, Ryuseitai, fine, 2wink and more can now be added to your playlists!

A quick note to fans of Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, for the character songs we previously lost in February 2024 have now returned to Spotify. But, of course, we can't forget to mention the number of tracks from shows of the current season. Everything from Sound! Euphonium 3 to Highspeed Etoile has seemingly been released this month. There's definitely a variety to be added to your playlists!!

Read on for the full list of music releases and news for April 2024.
