JAM Project ("JAM" standing for "Japan Animationsong Makers") is an anime music (or anison) supergroup based in Japan. It was founded on July 19, 2000 by famous 1970s theme song artist Ichirou Mizuki. The group is composed of many vocal artists well known in the industry; aside from the many anime, tokusatsu, and video game theme songs that this group has performed together, each member is famous for his or her own solo performances of Japanese theme songs. JAM Project is especially well known for their extensive contributions of theme music for Super Robot Wars and Garo.
In the summer of 2012, they teamed up with Animetal USA for a limited national concert tour called the Japan-America Anison Summit (日米アニソンサミット Nichi-Bei Anison Samitto?). From 2011 to 2014, Japanese composer and conductor Takayuki Hattori served as orchestral arranger on several albums and tours. In 2015, JAM Project celebrated its 15th anniversary with a series of concerts that contained 39 songs in its setlist chosen from all their previous albums, the most number of songs in any of their concerts to date. They also released a CD based on a new ultra-high quality UHQCD standard containing re-arranged and re-recorded hits voted on by fans.
