      Cowboy Bebop's music, including the opening and ending, is composed by Yoko Kanno and performed by The Seatbelts, a Jazz/Blues japanese band formed by Kanno herself, so it doesn't belong in this list...

    I think you must include the OP song from Deadman Wonderland "One Reason" by DWB feat.fade. Yes, I know it's a multicultural band, but the song it's completely in english. In addition, this guys have participated in the soundtrack of the Nana anime series (and maybe, one of their songs from this anime can be included too).
    And I forgot to mention the Drifters anime OP, "Gospel Of The Throttle", a remix version Minutes Til Midnight that must be included too.
    Finally, I don't know if this can count, but the soundtrack for the Ghibli movie Arrietty came from a French singer.

    What surprised me most was knowing about Gilbert O'Sullivan songs featured in an episode of Maison Ikkoku, before that I thought the first song as a TV anime OP or ED was Fly Me To The Moon.
    And I didn't think that you would include one insert song, the one in 3:56 because if we include insert songs by Westerners, almost all the rest of them would be the ones features in all of the Initial D series.

    A few for the next video:
    Go-Go Tamagotchi (2014): "Baby I" by Ariana Grande is featured as an ending song.
    Daicon III and IV opening animations (1981, 1983) feature "Twilight" by ELO
    Beck features a cover of "Moon on the Water"
    Gundam has a metric shit ton of these--"Human Touch" from After War Gundam X and "Magic" from Stardust Memory are just two I can think of, I know the Gundam Thunderbolt soundtrack has more.
    Patapata Hikousen no Bouken has "What Can I Do," which is sung by American singer Michael Africk.
    Supernatural the Animation has a cover of Carry on My Wayward Son, it's by a Japanese singer but the song itself is still a western one.
    Soccer Fever has an English ending by a western singer.
    Aimee B and Kylee are two singers I don't think I see on here, they've had a bunch of their songs featured in anime.
    From this season, Alt-J had their songs featured in that Ingress anime.
    Hope this helps! Love the video, so many of my all-time favorites are on here.

    How dare my sister not tel me that a song by The Who was used in the movie A Silent Voice. Now I really have to watch it.
    Also, the opening RomeoXJuliet is a Japanese version of You Raise Me Up; they play an English version in the final episode. Most of the Soundtrack for Princess Tutu, is taken from famous ballets like the Nutcracker and Swan Lake.

    Many animé use Christian chants, like the Kyrie Elesion (Elfen Lied) and the Dies Irae (Death Note), no idea about the nationalities in those two specific cases, but I am sure that at least more animé use the Dies Irae as well. Ode to Joy/Beethoven's 9th comes to mind as well, used in Evangelion, but also no clue to the nationality of the performers.
