The award winning anime from 2002, "Hanada Shounen-shi" used Back Street Boys songs for both the opening ("The One") and closing ("Drowning") animations.

I don't think that the was ever officially translated into English, which is a shame. It's a fun, smart, and well done 25 part series about a boy who becomes able to see and speak to ghosts after he has an accident. And once the ghosts find out about him they all have something that they want him to do for them.
