While 1982's Super Dimension Fortress Macross had a commissioned theme song in the typical style, part of what made the show notable and attractive was the amount of original, not-obviously- Macross-branded music that the show produced, with a lot of it being quite catchy and memorable. It was Gundam and some of its contemporaries, however, that would start to transform things in the 1980s. ( Mazinger Z and the early Astro Boy themes are nigh-canonical examples of the phenomenon in action.) Even as far forward as the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the theme was still being produced in this style (which became a bit memetic among the fan base, as the theme song was completely out of sync with the character of the rest of the show, especially the emotionally twisty back half).
Much like the animation industry of the States, though, early Japanese animated series of the 60s and 70s tended to feature purpose-created theme songs, often in a rather big band style with either "smooth" (and arguably inoffensive) baritone singers or choirs of kids. (both major inspirations for the early generations of Japanese animators) had been producing musical cartoons since the 1930s. Japanese animation and cartoons have, by and large, always had music, of course the modern "anime" industry came into being in the post-war era when sound had been part of motion pictures for three decades or more and Disney & Warner Bros.

This arrangement was not always the case, and the modern expression of it only came into full form in the lead up to and aftermath of the Turn of the Millennium.
