20th Century

20th Century is a Japanese group made up of Masayuki Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nagano, and Yoshihiko Inohara. Releasing music through Avex Trax, the trio is defined by its fixed three-member lineup and has a clear identity built around those three members, making it easy to place within Japanese pop and anime-music coverage. In 2026, Crunchyroll reported that 20th Century was involved in the second-cour opening for MAO, giving the group a recent anime theme-song credit. That connection keeps 20th Century relevant for listeners following Japanese artists linked to TV anime openings.
