JAM[[note]]Japan Animation song (anison) Makers[[/note]] Project is a music {{supergroup}} composed of some of the best and most HotBlooded musicians in the universe. It was founded in 2000 by Ichirou Mizuki (''Anime/MazingerZ'', ''Anime/GreatMazinger'', ''Manga/{{Devilman}}'', ...), Hironobu Kageyama (''[[Anime/DragonBallZ "Cha-la Head Cha-la"]]'', ''[[Manga/SaintSeiya "Soldier Dream"]]''), Masaaki Endoh ([[Anime/GaoGaiGar "Yuusha-Oh Tanjou"]]), Eizo Sakamoto (lead singer of heavy metal bands Anthem and Animetal), and Creator/RicaMatsumoto ([[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries "Mezase Pokemon Master"]], [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries "Rival"]], [[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries "OK!"]], ..., and voice of [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Satoshi]]).

* ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kHBBuckR5A "Little Wing"]])

%%* DreamTeam

* ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative'' (the openings for the three versions: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n834VavHAs "Asu e no Houkou"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn0wTfvuo6w "NAME ~Kimi no Na wa~"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5XX20KxMdE "Metamorphose"]]; Hironobu Kageyama and Masaaki Endoh also sing the insert songs [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDcNbh25eW4 "Tsubasa"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiTfpxxqI2g "Carry on"]], respectively, while Endoh sings the ED of ''The Day After'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybjjK1GWsq4 "Sora wo Yuukuu Tomoshibi no Uta"]])

%%* UpToEleven: What they did to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls7oOxUBbYQ Okkusenman]]. They took an [[AwesomeMusic/MegaMan awesome song]] and made it even more awesome.
%%** SerialEscalation: They did it to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5LFReFumVM Lucky Star OP]], too.
%%** Masaaki did it to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4hq7qWzhr4 Hidamari Sketch OP]].
%%** Though, not Okkusenman, Endoh did a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNhRljqvXL0 Sorairo Days]] from [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]. It's enough to bring a man to tears OF AWESOME.
%%*** And then he went and made [[Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar Ai Wo Torimodose]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K5goI_wmBI even more awesome]].
%%*** He's also done a cover of [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs arguably the most hot-blooded opening song ever to grace a magical-girl anime.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikLjplPR4Ss Unsurprisingly, it ended up even more HotBlooded.]]
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfu__37XsSo WITH A FULL SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA]] as part of their 10th anniversary tour.
%%** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt6XlVob_E Go, Go, Power Rangers!]]'' [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers by]] Creator/RonWasserman was already epic. Then Endoh produced his own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ix8Vy3mEHk cover version]]...

* HotBlooded. '''Yes.''' If there is an anime that requires shear '''[[RatedMForManly MANLYNESS]]''' and '''COURAGE''', there's a very high chance JAM Project will be there. 4 out od the founding 5 members (Ichiro "Aniki" Mizuki, Hironobu Kageyama, Masaaki Endoh and Yoshiyuki Fukuyama) practically ''defined'' the standards of Hot Blood in their [[SuperRobotGenre super robot anime]] [=OPs=].

%%* ZettaiRyouiki: Masami Okui sometimes.

Currently, the band is composed of Kageyama, Endoh, Masami Okui ([[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena "Rinbu -Revolution-"]], [[Anime/YuGiOh "Shuffle"]]), Hiroshi Kitadani ([[Franchise/OnePiece "We Are"]], "Series/MadanSenkiRyukendo") and Yoshiki Fukuyama (singing voice of [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Nekki Basara]], [[Manga/BusouRenkin "Makka na Chikai"]], [[Anime/OvermanKingGainer "King Gainer Over!"]]). Mizuki reduced his status to "part-time member" after the group got off the ground, Sakamoto "graduated" from the group and rejoined Anthem as well as started up new metal cover bands EIZO Japan and Aisenshi, and Matsumoto left in April 2008 to pursue solo work. They are occasionally joined by Ricardo Cruz, UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}}ian manga translator and PromotedFanboy, on various recordings and in concerts in Brazil.

* ''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QImBolnTVH8 THE HERO !! ~Set Fire to the Furious Fist~]]

Currently, the band is composed of Kageyama, Endoh, Masami Okui ([[Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena "Rinbu -Revolution-"]], [[Anime/YuGiOh "Shuffle"]]), Hiroshi Kitadani ([[Franchise/OnePiece "We Are"]], "Series/MadanSenkiRyukendo") and Yoshiki Fukuyama (singing voice of [[Anime/{{Macross 7}} Nekki Basara]] and his single "Makkana Chikai", the OP to ''Manga/BusouRenkin''). Mizuki reduced his status to "part-time member" after the group got off the ground, Sakamoto "graduated" from the group and rejoined Anthem, and Matsumoto left in April 2008 to pursue solo work. They are occasionally joined by Ricardo Cruz, UsefulNotes/{{Brazil}}ian manga translator and PromotedFanboy, on various recordings and in concerts in Brazil.

* AnimeThemeSong (the name of the band is ''Japan Animation song[[note]]Anison[[/note]] Makers'')
* AscendedExtra: Ricardo Cruz. He started off as a concert-exclusive singer for when the band toured in Brazil, and then moved on to help out on some of the band's big songs like "Stormbringer" and "Transformers [=EVO.=]".
* [[CoolOldGuy Cool Old Guys]]: They are at least in their early 40s (with Mizuki being in his 60s), and they still can rock out like people half their ages. To be fair, their age can show at times during live shows, but does that stop them? '''Hell No.'''

* DreamTeam
* EvenTheGuysWantHim (Masaaki Endo)
* GaiasVengeance (''Hi no Tori [Phoenix]'' from ''MAXIMIZER'')
* GratuitousEnglish (many of their songs, including ''VICTORY'', ''Voyager'' and the opening of ''SKILL'')
** And here they are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dAzRjXFV5o&feature=related singing an 80's medley]].
* GreatBallsOfFire (used to punctuate the instrumental openings in concert)
* HotBlooded. '''Yes.'''
* HumbleHero: The underlying theme of "THE HERO". Kinda fitting for the lead character of the [[WebComic/OnePunchMan anime it was used for.]]
* IncomingHam: Again, from "THE HERO": '''''ONE-PUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!!'''''
* LargeHam. '''YES, YES, YES'''.
** The members even acknowledge this, to the point where Masaaki Endoh, Hironobu Kageyama and Ricardo Cruz compete on-stage to see who's the hammiest!!
* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: JAM is a fixture at the {{Animelo}} Summer Live anime music concerts, which could easily take up a page of their own.
** If you have never seen/heard anything from the aforementioned concerts, get thyself to [=YouTube=] IMMEDIATELY or go to iTunes and look up "Re:bridge." Your mind will be blown.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMPfnu15bZg Here's the [=YouTube=] version of both performances (it was a two-day event) edited together]]. Now sit down and brace for ''awesome''.

** With that theory tested, the next question is "Can JAM Project make anything even '' more'' awesome?" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkQT9sVabQk This video]] tests this new theory.
** And while we're at it, another theory is asked: Can JAM Project make anything terrible awesome? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCsRF5-9iY4 You be the judge.]]
** Tropers and tropettes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrIVU4hbz9w GONGCAT]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxcvDakqjmo&feature=related SKILLCAT]].
* OlderThanTheyLook: Especially when some of them look like Masami Okui or Masaaki Endoh.
* OminousLatinChanting: "The Gate of Hell", "Crest Of Z's", "THE MONSTERS"
* OneWomanWail: ''Rocks''
* RatedMForManly: Oh, '''HELL YES.'''

* RedOniBlueOni / TomboyAndGirlyGirl (Matsumoto and Okui, before the former left. Matsumoto is consistently more energetic, has a more boyish voice (voicing hotblooded shounen heroes), even has shorter hair and is nicknamed Satoshi, and Makkun is more about feminine appeal and writes softer, more emotional songs like Peaceful One)
* ScarfOfAsskicking: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfPabkojSfw&feature=related Doesn't look out of place around Mizuki Ichiro's neck ''at all''.]]
* SofterAndSlowerCover: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJbHotqsd0E Rescue Fire!]]. Most of the content of ''Victoria Cross'' is like this, although a bit subtler.
* SpellingSong ("V-I-C-T-O-R-Y, 3 2 1 0 Never give up! Oh yeaaahhhhh!")
* TestosteronePoisoning: [[VideoGame/BlazBlue '''FU-RIN-KA-ZAN!''']]

* ThePowerOfRock (On at least [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars three]] [[Anime/{{Macross7}} distinct]] [[Anime/GaoGaiGar occasions]], music by the group or members has been a canon, in-show force to be reckoned with)
* ThemeMusicPowerUp (any time you hear one of their songs play in an anime, it [[strike: usually]] '''always''' means something awesome is about to happen)

* UpToEleven: What they did to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls7oOxUBbYQ Okkusenman]]. They took an [[AwesomeMusic/MegaMan awesome song]] and made it even more awesome.
** SerialEscalation: They did it to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5LFReFumVM Lucky Star OP]], too.
** Masaaki did it to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4hq7qWzhr4 Hidamari Sketch OP]].

*** And then he went and made [[Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar Ai Wo Torimodose]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K5goI_wmBI even more awesome]].
*** He's also done a cover of [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs arguably the most hot-blooded opening song ever to grace a magical-girl anime.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikLjplPR4Ss Unsurprisingly, it ended up even more HotBlooded.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfu__37XsSo WITH A FULL SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA]] as part of their 10th anniversary tour.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt6XlVob_E Go, Go, Power Rangers!]]'' [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers by]] Creator/RonWasserman was already epic. Then Endoh produced his own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ix8Vy3mEHk cover version]]...
* VillainSong: "The Gate of the Hell" and "Praise be to Decepticon"
* ZettaiRyouiki: Masami Okui sometimes.

[[caption-width-right:350:Don't touch that picture, [[AwesomenessIsVolatile it might just burn]] [[HotBlooded your finger off]].]]

** They also did the English versions of each of those openings, although they're all TV-size only.

* ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'' The first three opening themes, "[[https://youtu.be/dJL5DdxFiJY VANGUARD]]", "[[https://youtu.be/IDAGFctn5Bo Believe in My Existence]]", and [[https://youtu.be/4ZBAN2K9brg LIMIT BREAK]]. "FINAL TUUUUURN!"

* ''Anime/CardfightVanguard'' Both opening themes, 1st "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS73WmKeaDI VANGUARD]]" and 2nd "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyCErRG-gag Believe in My Existence]]". "FINAL TUUUUURN!"

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wt6XlVob_E Go, Go, Power Rangers!]]'' [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers by]] Creator/RonWasserman was already epic. Then Endoh produced his own [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ix8Vy3mEHk cover version]]...

** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsT'' ("Tread on the Tiger's Tail")

*** ''[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Super Robot Wars OG]]: [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsJudgment The Moon Dwellers]]'' (Shining Storm and Heaven's Door)

*** ''The Second VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcfW2pBYcAg "Wings of the Legend"]] and "Babylon")
