...why?
I've always thought they were kind of ridiculous and figured it was cultural. I always picture the directors shoving a microphone at some character and demand them to sing. Like, Orochimaru. XD
Character songs...

Hey... when reading this, I'm picturing 'the director' as Haruhi Suzumiya, forcing Michuru to sing her theme song for Episode 0.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Largo: "Well Ed, good to see ya. Guess I gotta beat the crap out of you now."
Jamie Hyneman: "It's just another lovely day at the bomb range. Birds are singing, rabbits are hopping about, and soon there's going to be a big explosion."

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)
EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

They're a little silly, but they still make me smile. And I'm in love with some of them, like This Light I See from Bleach. XD; Hitsugaya can sure belt it.

It's more promotional than anything else for the series, manga and radio programs surrounding certain titles. It also provides musical material for the VAs to use while on tour promoting their series.

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]The first example that sticks out in my head is the Digimon series V/A's singing character songs. Each character had their own CD with about 3 tracks--an original version, an instrumental version and maybe a remix. I remember (and love) the Character song Davis (Daisuke) V/A did called "Goggleboy".
The only American V/A that I recall that did anything like that was Vic (You guys KNOW I can't Spell his Last Name) rendention of "Brothers" from "Fullmetal Alchemist". I got it in my car now, and it really soothes the nerves when stuck in traffic. [/color][/SIZE][/font]

Woah, ridiculous, that's a bit harsh. Maybe I am saying that because I love character songs myself, but honestly speaking though, it is a bit of a promotional thing, especially that a good number of seiyuus are J-pop artists themselves.
Excuse my blinking, just got too many shifts this week.
