Twilight was the second track and second single from the album Time written and performed by Electric Light Orchestra (1981)
- "Twilight" is particularly famous amongst fans of Japanese animation and comics (commonly known as otaku). The song was initially used (without authorization) as the theme music for the opening animation for the 1983 Daicon IV science fiction convention, which has gathered a lot of acclaim in the general anime fandom. In 2005, the music was used again for a similar animation that formed the opening for the television series Densha Otoko, a series featuring an otaku as the main character (along with several recurring extras). The song is now considered somewhat of an anthem for otaku.
