There’s an everlasting question in the mind of every single YouTuber: how to promote their channel best. Well, the answer isn’t a one-size-fits-all. But if you’re running a music channel, here’s a thought: why not ride the anime wave and promote your YouTube channel with covers of anime openings? How? Let’s find out!

Why Anime Covers Work for YouTube Music Promotion Channels

Anime has been around for decades, but it wasn’t as wildly popular, rather staying a niche underground interest. Only in a recent decade it grew into something known. Nowadays everyone is awaiting for a new title with equal excitement as a new season of some Hollywood show.

Anime openings, currently, are globally recognized, and their music is deeply loved by millions. Covering these songs taps into the existing fanbase, which makes it so much easier to attract viewers. All you need to do is show up and bring something fresh to the table.

It’s not just about replicating the original—audiences seek unique interpretations. Audiences are hooked by you. Your unique spin, your vocal quirks, your decision to turn Gurenge into a jazz lounge number or translate Blue Bird into your native tongue—it’s these personal twists that make viewers hit replay. And who knows, maybe even argue in the comments about whether you “did justice to the vibe.” Isn’t that what we’re all here for?

Don’t be shy to add a bit of yourself into the cover.

Content That Stands Out

As with most niches, even the most covert ones, the competition is fierce. Of course, you could learn a thing or two by analyzing what works for your direct competitors, but regardless of the results, being original is very important. Here’s how you could try to stand out:

Unique Arrangements

Experiment with different genres or instruments. Turn JoJo opening into a soothing acoustic ballad, for example. The sky’s the limit, or rather in this case you are only limited by your own imagination. So let it run wild and it will pay off.

Production

Nobody wants to hear a bad-sounding microphone, so high-quality audio and video production is essential. Of course, you can invest in great recording equipment and editing software to create polished content, but there are some additional tricks that could make your voice sound better.

Visual Appeal

As it goes, anime fans love aesthetic visuals. You could try using themed animations, dynamic lighting, or attempt cosplaying a character from the particular anime, the opening of which you are covering

We help hundreds of music channels find their hidden growth spots. We know how hard it can be to gain a loyal following and how hard it is to act in accordance with YouTube’s guidelines. At AIR Media-Tech, we could make things easier for you! It all starts with the channel audit. 

Optimize Your Videos

To grow your music channel on YouTube, you must rank high in search results. That much is obvious, but how do you actually get there? 

Strategic Keywords

Use correct keywords, which is already half the job. For example, phrases like  “anime cover YouTube,” “[Anime title] cover,” will work wonders if you put it in your video titles, descriptions, and tags.

Eye-Catching Thumbnails

Design visually compelling thumbnails that include either snippets of the anime title you’re covering, yourself photoshopped as one of the characters of that particular anime, or yourself in cosplay (those are just ideas, there is so much that could be done with the thumbnail to make them both visually compelling and representative of your content).
