- The regular opening and ending themes of THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls are sung by all fourteen members of the main cast.
- Infinite Stratos has the ending theme sung by the female main characters, with various versions as more characters are introduced:

- Lyrical Nanoha has a tradition of having the opening theme sung by Fate's voice actor (Nana Mizuki), and the ending theme by Nanoha's (Yukari Tamura). This tradition was broken in ViVid Strike! (and wouldn't have applied if it did since Nanoha and Fate were both Put on a Bus), which had its opening and ending theme sung by the voice actors of the new main characters Rinne (Yui Ogura) and Fuka (Inori Minase).
- Macross has plenty of examples, since several of its characters are professional singers:
- Macross Frontier's 2nd OP, "Lion", sung by Megumi Nakajima (Ranka Lee) and May'n (Sheryl Nome).
- The first OP, "Trianguler", was sung by Maaya Sakamoto who voiced Ranka's Mother Ranshe.

- In a possible inversion of this trope, T.M.Revolution, who did the first opening themes for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, was given a small role in the first series and a slightly larger and more plot significant role in the second. Nami Tamaki, the singer for one of the ending themes, was offered a similar opportunity but turned it down which is why Shiho Hahenfluss never has any lines in the anime.
- The opening and ending themes of Moldiver are sung by Mirai Ozora's voice actress Yukana.
- Monster Musume has the main girls singing the opening, while the ending is sung by the members of the MON squad.
- My Neighbor Seki has an unusual take on this- one of the characters is actually seen ''making'' the opening (drawing, animating, recording), which is entirely in character for him. Fittingly, the opening theme is sung by the voice actress of the girl he is recording, and the lyrics are largely in the vein of "What weird game are you playing today? It's very distracting. Stop it."
- Nanbaka: Ending song sungs by the main cast of the anime.
- Negima! Magister Negi Magi: The original, the Alternate Continuity and the Live-Action Adaptation have the thirty-one girls of Negi's class singing the theme song. The first two switch what groups of girls are singing every so often, saving the whole class for the final episode, but the third uses the whole class to begin with. This doesn't stop them from including a version sung by the lead set of True Companions — Asuna, Konoka and Setsuna. Only on the Ending Theme single, though.
- The majority of the songs in the NG Knight Lamune & 40 series are sung by the voice actors (including the drama CD's):

- Rica Matsumoto has done several opening themes for Pokémon: The Series, where she does the voice of Satoshi (Ash). This includes three songs for the original series, two for Advanced Generation, a duet with Megumi Toyoguchi (Dawn's voice actress) for Diamond & Pearl, two of three Best Wishes! openings, the last opening for XY&Z, and the first opening for Sun and Moon.
- This is a trend started almost immediately with the show, as she is the singer for the first opening theme.
- And several ending themes for Pokémon: The Series are sung by members of the cast. The Voice actors s for Ash, Misty, Brock, May, Professor Oak, Team Rocket and Bonnie have at least contributed one ending to the long-running series.

- Both the opening and ending of Rekan are sung by Amami and Inoue's voice actresses, Ibuki Kido and Erii Yamazaki.
- Ro-Kyu-Bu! is sung by the five main characters who so happen to have actually formed a group by the same name.
- Rolling Girls' opening theme has the four main girls sing the song (and they're even shown performing it on stage), which is actually a cover of "Hito ni Yasashiku" by Japanese punk rock band The Blue Hearts.
- The secondnote ending of Sailor Moon deserves special mention. Its lyrics were written by the mangaka. The second version, however, subverts this, as it is sung by the actresses of the Inner Senshi, but not their voice actresses in the show; their actresses in the stage musicals.
- In a couple dubs (including the Dutch and the Swedish), Sailor Moon's voice actress even sang the intro theme.
- The third ending theme is performed by the five voice actresses of the inner senshi.

- Triage X: Saeko Zogo (Siren) sings the OP "Triage".
- Wagnaria!! is interesting in the sense that not only the female leadsnote get to sing a theme song (the opening), but the male leadsnote too (the ending). This format is repeated in its second and third seasons as well.
- The OP and ED themes of Weiß Kreuz are sang by the four leads' voice actors.
- Why the Hell Are You Here, Teacher!?: Combines this with a Couch Gag by having the seiyu of the teacher in focus for that episode sing the ending credits. The opening credits are also sung by Sumire Uesaka, but that doesn't change.
- Most of the ending songs from The World God Only Knows fall under this trope:
- The first season's ending, Koi no Shirushi, is sung by the main heroines of the first season (Elsie, Ayumi Takahara, Mio Aoyama, Kanon Nakagawa and Shiori Shiomiya).
- The second season's ending, Ai no Yokan, does the same with the main heroines of that season (Elsie, Haqua, Kusunoki Kasuga, Chihiro Kosaka and Jun Nagase).
- The ending song of the first season's final episode, The Dream Traveler of the Integrated Circuit, doubles as Stylistic Suck since it's primarily sung off-key by an exhausted Keima.
- Keima also sings (a little better than the last season) the last episode of season two alongside his dating sim crush Yotsuba.
- There's also the opening for the Goddesses Arc, God Only Knows -Secrets of the Goddess-, featuring Haqua on vocals.
- Coupled with Evolving Credits, the ending theme Kizuna no Yukue is sung by the girl who is revealed to be having one of the Goddess (except for Tenri which is already revealed on the Tenri-hen OVA) in that episode (except for Episodes 1, 7 and 8 which have no ending themes and Episode 9 which has a different ending theme altogether).

- The World is Still Beautiful's ending theme is sung by the protagonist Nike's voice actress, Rena Maeda.
- The English ending theme to Yo-kai Watch is done by Katie and Jibanyan's voice actress. While Katie is an important character she's Nate's unrequited love instead of the protagonist (though she is the female protagonist in the games), and Jibanyan is the series' mascot.

- Yuri!!! on Ice: The ending song, "You Only Live Once" is performed by Wataru Hatano, the voice of Georgi Popovich.
- Being a show about an idol group, it's no surprise that Zombieland Saga's opening and closing themes are sung by said idol group. (With the exception of Kotono Mitsuishi/Dawn M. Bennett, due to her voicing a nonverbal zombie.)
