14 Anime Singers Record 'Imagine' to Fight World Hunger

posted on by Egan Loo

14 singers of anime theme songs formed a group called Anison All-Stars to sing John Lennon's "Imagine" song in a charity effort to fight world hunger. 100 yen ($1.10) from the proceeds of each of the song will go to the World Food Programme (WFP), the United Nations organization that fights world hunger and poverty, particularly among children. 100 yen would pay for about three meals in WFP's school meals programmes. An estimated 1.02 billion people in the world are undernourished, and 350 million of them are children.

The song was posted on Japanese music services on Friday, the day that WFP marked as World Food Day. (The song is currently not available in services outside Japan.) Shunji Inoue all performed on the song.
