Fun fact one of the bakemonogatari had this problem but there was a cover of it and alot of people thought it was the original until years later. Said cover singer is now an vtuber at hololive and a lot of people realized it when she sang that song on a concert.

[@aobasuzukaze1032]

People need to remember that most of these OP on spotify were listened to because it's also listened to in Japan as a song. It's like here in United States where a lot of soundtrack from movies and TV shows became popular outside of the movies and shows.
