Successful musical artists only in unpopular anime
Anime
Mainstream successful artists who are present only in titles with <100k members on MAL.
These anime/artists may be more popular in Japan or a non-English broadcast country (or old).
*Very WIP. So far it's mostly artists I like from outside of anime that I could think of within 5min :v
Ordered from most to least members
Honorable mentions who are only in 1 anime >100k MAL members:
CAPSULE - Sidonia no Kishi: Ai Tsumugu Hoshi (only anime performance, although the composer frequents in anime)
GACKT - His only popular anime, Sket Dance, features him as a VA as well as in a fictional band.

POLKADOT STINGRAY - Radiant (& soon I Have a Crush at Work)
