* ''WesternAnimation/HappyFeet'': Every Emperor penguin has a "Heart Song" that they sing while searching for their mate. The only penguin that doesn't appear to have a song is Mumble who can't sing at all (though fans have speculated that his dance solo to "I Wish" by Music/StevieWonder makes that his Heart Song). Mumble's parents have "Kiss" by Music/{{Prince}} and "Heartbreak Hotel" by Music/ElvisPresley as theirs and his love interest Gloria's song is "Boogie Wonderland" by Music/EarthWindAndFire.

* ''Anime/MacrossPlus'': [=VOICES=] for [[BrokenBird Myung Fan Lone]], ''Information High'' for [[AIIsACrapshoot Sharon Apple]]. The former plays a large role in the plot, with snippets of it being sung by her and her using it to [[spoiler: snap Isamu out of Sharon Apple's trance during the climactic fight.]] The latter is more used to highlight Sharon's alien nature as a virtuaroid.
* ''Anime/MacrossFrontier: Ranka Lee has ''Seikan Hikou''. She performs it multiple times InUniverse, there are multiple covers of it both InUniverse and out, and it is so associated with her that [[Anime/MacrossDelta Freyja]] later sings it in her own show, inspired by Ranka to become an IdolSinger (among other singers).

** Kaname Buccaneer's ''AXIA''. InUniverse, it actually originates from Kaname's solo career before Walkure and comes up as one of her few successes from that career despite it being an OldShame for her. It also plays an important role in the plot, with Messer using it [[spoiler: to stave off Var Syndrome (and implicitly to listen to [[BodyguardCrush Kaname's]] voice.]]

* ''Anime/MacrossDelta'' has a few:
** Freyja Wion's ''Rune ga Pikatto Hikkatara''. It's all but explicit that the song was written for her specifically, given it refers to a sparkling Rune (which she alone as a [[HumanAlien Windermerean]] possesses) and her catchphrases, and her SignatureScene flying with Hayate in his Siegfried has her singing it.

** Mikumo Guynemer's ''Ikenai Borderline''. She sings this initially during her BigDamnHeroes moment as part of Walkure, and Walkure later attempts to sing it again in episode 13 [[spoiler: before the Fold Bomb detonates on Ragna, forcing them to evacuate]].
** Walkure also has ''Bokura no Senjou'' collectively, with Freyja and Mikumo having their own versions of it and the entire group singing it during their battles more than any other song.
