Awesome list. I gotta add those to the anime FM playlist. My favorite songs right now got to be Extacy from Witchblade, What's Up People from Death Note and the opening to Code Geass
I have to say, Deathnotes opening song and a couple of the ones from bleach are pretty hardcore.
Folks can post youtube links like this and a bubble will appear enabling the viewer to listen to the track right here. http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=hEDb2fymSJI
Sounds good Danny ^_^: Code Geass Opening: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GLe4YmUaKNs Death Note, What's Up People?: http://youtube.com/watch?v=e-SpNRR8FZk
forgot to add that geass track to my list ^^;
It's all good ^_^. I'm probably going to add those snap shots links to my sites too. They are so useful and simple, especially with youtube.
awww. i want to play caption the photo anyways, the song getting the most playtime on my music player is oblivious by Kalafina, the theme to the first of the seven Kara no Kyoukai movies. All time fave is Innocent Starter by Mizuki Nana off the first Nanoha series
I like that song too, forgot to add those Nanoha OPs and EDs to my list...
Same here as well. In fact, one of my favorite Nana Mizuki song is "Astrogation" (it's a good song, even though is not an anime song) from STARCAMP EP, the single that contains the OP and ED of Rosario + Vampire.
%%http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RUyN0CK6uc,Astrogation - PV%% She's freaking awesome in this vid...
i fail at links
Thats an awesome track - thanks for the intro ^o^
you're most welcome... but it'd be nice if clicking the link actually links nicely to the vid in youtube.... though it's partly my fault for doing it all wrong in the first place...
Genocyber - FairyDreamin' Should be on that list ;-)
Im addicted to all the Ranka songs ^^ But i love the OP of Higurashi and the wto ED of Jigoku Shoujo as well :) One of my fav OP is the one of Utawa Reru Mono , so awesome !
Not sure if you mean season 1 or 2 of Higurashi but I def. love the season 2 opening ...I listen to it all the time :) http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9GZgzc3_-eA
One of my all time fave song would be "Moon on the water" by Beat Crusaders for BECK anime. Also , most of BC's song are awesome indeed that they're also one of my fave Jap band. and such an unfortunate coincidence , Youtube's not working for me right now~ >__<
Agree with you, Beck has a lot of good songs.
Been listening to a lot of Nyan Furo as well, esp the Sheryl songs, so Infinity, Iteza gogo Don't be late (love that song), diamond Crevasse and What 'bout my star? The ranka version is great too. Given that my Playlist is reaching 300 anime songs right now, it would be hard to fit them all in, but highlights would be The songs mentioned above. Triangular (Macross F) Realize (gundam Seed) Megumeru (clannad) Reflectia (True Tears) Aozora loop (Kimikiss) Innocent starter (Mahou shoujou Lyrical Nanoha) Changes (Toshokan Sensou) Kazehane (H2O Footprints in the sand) Chain (Shigofumi) Joint (shakugan no shana II) United Force (Kishin Tensei Gigantic Formula) Hikari No Yukue (El Cazador de la bruja) and (of course) God Knows (suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) I can sing a fair few songs on Karaoke, mostly by memory although I do sometimes need to read the japanese lyrics, but I try not to as it messes up my timing cos I concentrate too much on reading.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Vocaloid songs with Miku. As for Anime songs, my favourites would be: God Knows - Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Megumeru - CLANNAD Keikenchi Joushouchuu - Minami-ke - Kanon & AIR OP and ED Anata ga Iru - Mamotte Shugogetten Agony & Re-sublimity - Kannaduki no Miko Sore ga Ai Deshou - Full Metal Panic fumoffu Lucky Star Karaoke music!! Don't want to list too many... usually when I enjoy a series, one of the songs would become my favourites. I also use Gendou to download my anime music. In Sydney there aren't many Karaoke which offer latest Japanese anime music... They have plenty of non-anime though.... I was really surprised the one I went to last week had Lucky Star & Suzumiya Haruhi medley ^^.... Yes I can sing a few songs at karaoke, can't read all kanji but I still manage. Haruhi: Minna Totsugeki！！
I loved all the ghost in a shell opening and ending credits, they're quite different from anything else I've seen in any other anime, of course ghost in the shell is one of the most original anime in years imo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wFqDrpNPf4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1FujRzT_u4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7f_tv22VM The music from ghost in the shell was all really awesome, some of the best composing in an anime in years! My current favourite credits are the ending credits from Daughter of Twenty Faces sung by the lovely aya hirano! (great series btw) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUwrbIzwV08
Oh she's cute! That's great song. I hadn't seen the music video for it. I love how they tie it in with the show a bit (fantastic anime, I agree), but I'm not sure what's up with that sucker.... Or well, if I think like a guy I guess I could come up with a reason; otherwise it's sort of an annoying prop.
I agree:) GITS songs are awesome and have been in my playlists for a long time. Yoko Kanno and Origa make a good team
Gendou is good for direct downloads. If you prefer torrents, you can head over to Nipponsei here https://nipponsei.minglong.org/ They have a lot of songs there too in complete singles and most of them are encoded in 320kbps MP3 for your listening pleasure ^^. I use both personally, if I can't find em from Gendou, will usually search Nipponsei.
Hyperlink does not seem to be working? Testing it again https://nipponsei.minglong.org
You can download more animesongs at nipponsei as well. My favorite anime song ever is Men of Destiny from Gundam 0083, I love that song so much that sometimes when I hear it tears come to my eyes XD. Also like the song from Overdrive (winder), Super Robot Wars Divine Wars (Break Out), Kanon (Last Regrets), Macross 2 (Hush Like 200 Million Years) and many many others XD, 90% of my laptop musics are from animes and Jap Games like SRW
(Everyone points at Kyon, not shown) Kyon (reluctantly): So I guess I'm the one who's supposed to keep a look out while you have fun with that? [Mm, it's usually only Haruhi who's that active and would be pointing]
I have so many, couldn't possibly list them all there. Two gems that I really like though, namely: 1) Over the Sky (ending theme to Last Exile) and 2) 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou (4th ending to Kenshin). Recently downloaded the GTO soundtrack too, has some nice tracks in there.
Yoko Ueno - Chijou no Seiza The opening song for the Fushigi Yugi OVA Eikoden http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WnpVlZ8F0A
Hmm, so many songs to list... Ignited from Gundam SEED Destiny Resolution from Gundam X Metamorphoze from Z Gundam Megumeru from Clannad Gasshin! God Gravion from Gravion Days from Eureka SeveN Changes from Library War United Force from Gigantic Formula Driver's High from GTO Ash Like Snow from Gundam 00 COLORS from Code Geass Secret Ambition from Nanoha StrikerS and maybe finally Little Wish from Nanoha (What!? Got a problem with that?)
I think there's just too many titles to name! I do share similarities in with your list, Danny, quite a few of them actually.
Usually took mine from nipponsei ^^ will get old songs from gendou though. My fave singer is eufonius~ ^^ resonance - T.M Revolution (Soul Eater OP) LOVE:no reason - Tanaka Rie (Futami Eri) CRAWL - VELTPUNCH (Nabari no Ou OP) Innocent Starter - Mizuki Nana (Nanoha OP) forever we can make it! - THYME ( To Love RU OP) Aozora Loop - Marble (Kimikiss OP) Reflectia - eufonius (True Tears OP) Megumeru - eufonius (CLANNAD OP) Kimi no Katachi - eufonius (Sola song album) Apocrypha - eufonius (Shinkyo Soukai Polyphonica OP)
I pretty only like a few songs. Forever We Can Make It. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tIz8N5Nf2c God Knows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kv3mMK7EP8
Dang Typos. I pretty much only like a few songs.
I don't watch To Love Ru but that song is pretty good ^^
The original Macross opining and the Voices from "Macross Plus"; are really good. The op of Soul Eater is good too. The Code Geass ending by Ali Project is really good; a lot of her song are good, and the list goes on... I have to agree on your list too Danny; on some of the song; I need to listen to some of more then 1/2 of them.
Rosario + Vampire Ending ( Nana Mizuki - Dancing in the velvet room ). I dont really like the anime/manga but I do like the ending. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8WuqFex3C-I&feature=related For some reason I like the opening to Kyoran Kazoku Nikki (MOSAIC.WAV - Chosai Kenbo Sengen), i don't think much people like it =/
Wasn't it "Dancing the Velvet Moon"?
The Eureka Seven tracks in your list, I love those. Puzzle from Welcome to the NHK Rewrite from Fullmetal Alchemist Ready Steady Go from FMA finally Sorairo Days the OP from TT Gurren Lagann. I listen to these all the time.
Do I listen to anime songs? Hell YES! My first anime song was hishoku no sora from shakugan no shana. It was anime songs that sparked my interest in all things in anime. Currently I am fanboying over macross frontier ost and seikan hikou.
Same here. I'm only learning a word or two per week by passive digestion... Will need to search for lyrics soon ._.
All anime songs I sing at karaoke parlors (or at home with Band Brothers DX) are old school heavy metal songs. Ai wo Torimodose by Crystal King (Fist of the North Star): http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw3JTZl0cmQ Pegasus Fantasy by Make-up (Saint Seiya): http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=TQTEa5slNxs Mazinger Z by Mizuki "Aniki" Ichiro: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ3NbYhEc4s By the way, you gotta love this collabo of Mizuki Ichiro with one of Japan's greatest hard rock bands, Kinniku Shoujo Tai: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=fxKMGq3nxwY
Oh, and I sound _very_ real at Sasaki Isao's "Saraba Uchuu Senkan Yamato": http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=uETP3sNn9n8
YAY for old school. I listen to Ai Wo Torimodose and Mazinger Z too.
this one still remains my ichiban Shimokawa Mikuni - Sore ga Ai Deshou (Fumoffu OST) http://youtube.com/watch?v=GWZUh5Uk0Zk here's others that i listen quite often Aiko Kayo - Ai Shite ne Motto (Tenjou Tenge) Aya Hirano - God knows... (prefer this over her other songs) Mai Kuraki - Secret of My Heart (forgot which anime was this from..anyone?) Shankfunk - Let me see your love (kinda like electro trance..so Shankfunk OST on Airgear is good) Takashi Sorimachi - poison (oops not anime but still a classic) KISS - because im a girl (another non-anime related and its korean but very touching MTV, please watch) Chieko Kawabe - Be Your Girl (Darker than Black) http://youtube.com/watch?v=zhlhsB0VkkA
My 3 current favorites: Hoshi no Tobira (Gundam Seed StarGazer) Tabi no Tochuu (Spice & Wolf) Storm (Mai Otome Zwei) yea...Gendou is a good site for anime song downloads. =)
Generally I listen to the op's, and pick up on the bands/singers who I hear more often than others. Like Round Table feat. Nino. Love Round Table. They've done .hack//LOTT, Chobits, Gunbuster(haven't watched but dl'd simple cos it was RT.)NHK, Aria etc. Love RT. Love Virgins High, not usually my kinda thing, but cos I listened to it sooo much it grew on me lol.
i just found about a karaoke place in my region that have a lot of japanese songs including anime and games songs about a half year ago
Let's see what I can remember. Butterfly from Digimon Ashita he no Brilliant Road from Stellvia Hayate no Gotoku! 2nd OP (forgot the name, sorry) Ai wo Torimodoze! from Hokuto no Ken nowhere from Madlax Those are the ones I can remember, most of the good songs are already listed so no point repeating them.
I do listen to (lots of) anime music. My favourites are.. Blue (Cowboy Bebop) - Yoko Kanno Deep Trench (Brain Powerd) - Yoko Kanno Canta per Me & Lullaby (Noir) - Yuki Kajiura Allegro Cantabile Sound (Nodame Cantabile) - Suemitsu & The Suemith Aqua (Arjuna) - Yoko Kanno A Cruel Angel's Thesis (Neon Genesis Evangelion) - Yoko Takahashi Komm, süsser Tod (The End of Evangelion) - Arianne Flying Dragon (The Vision of Escaflowne) - Yoko Kanno Blood+ Grand Theme (Blood+) - Mark Mancina Murder (Berserk) - Susumu Hirasawa Farewell Song (Air) - Lia Soultaker (The Soultaker) - JAM Project 'Libera me' from hell (Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann) - Taku Iwasaki God knows... (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) - ENOZ feat. Aya Hirano Little Goodbye (Zegapain) - Rocky Chack Scramble (School Rumble) - Yui Horie & Unscandal Kaze no Tadoritsuku Basho (Kanon) - Ayana Montechristo (Gankutsuou) - Kouji Kasamatsu Kouga Ninpouchou (Basilisk) - Onmyoza I usually get my anime music via IRC or bittorrent. :)
I pretty much listen to any OP of any anime I watch, I think that the OP scenes make the the songs a lot better and gives me a really good memory of it, which is also why i prefer OP themes rather than EDs. The songs make a very good way of promoting the bands as well, many bands I listen to now began with an anime, such as Uverworld, AKFG, HandMC, and even L'arc en ciel. Songs sang by Seiyuus are normally not my type except from really good ones like Hirano Aya and Nana Mizuki (amazing voice). At the moment though I keep listening to FLOW's Word of the Voice, Sekai no Warae (very easy to sing :D) from Kyou Kara Maou, OP of Toshokan Sensou and a whole Album of HandMC.
Dont forget OST's of FMA, Beck and Honey and Clover... Honey and Clover ♥ >_< The best insert songs =O (Sorry Haruhi =x)
yup, nipponsei for me my whole music archive is ALL anime related singles, OSTs, Radio shows, etcetc "yo ho ho, pirates life for me" i really need a job......^^"
Listen to some anime songs but not many... Some just arent for me, mainly because I dont understand Japanese. But Maximum the Hormone has good songs (Death Note) and Hirasawa Susumu is great also (Paprika OST especially), Hikaru no Go OST is also great. Mainly the OST in animes is easy to forget though, rarely I remember any of the songs.
I love the Ghost in the Shell songs, too. They make up some of my favorite openings out of all the anime I've seen (I love me some Yoko Kano). Still going crazy over Still Doll, the closing theme for Vampire Knight. Wakeshima is just so adorable, and I love her voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Rkqcx6KfAA Really love the Nodame Cantabile opening and closing pieces. Can't wait for the second season. ^_^ Blood + also has some fantastic songs. Inori - Lena Park's opening for the Romeo X Juliet anime probably makes for one of my favorite openings of all time. I get chills every time I watch it, and just that opening can sometimes bring me to tears (can't wait for FUNimation to make it available in the spring so I can finally buy it) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY7iXJyy1ys (anime opening) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px2n_LrTG_8 (Lena singing the song in English) Tank! from Cowboy Bebop of course This brilliant song, The Garden of Everything, from the Rahxephon movie (you can't go wrong with Yoko Kano AND Maaya Sakamoto): http://youtube.com/watch?v=PvHvxLBfhVw Well...pretty much anything Yoko Kano's touched, honestly. And all the FLCL songs. Cruel Angel Thesis from Evangelion of course.... Duvet from Serial Experiments Lain: http://youtube.com/watch?v=jDf4bNiPYuE Opening and Ending for Gunslinger Girl: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xEMjq9VpBSE (Light Before We Land) http://youtube.com/watch?v=p9JgMHDEKWE (dopo il sogno) That's all I can think of right now, but that's plenty. :) It's pretty much the only kind of music I listen to these days (along with showtunes). I don't understand anything they're saying, but I love the music and the way the language sounds.
ya that Still Doll song is really addicting.
Duvet from Serial Experiments Lain is really good (The acoustic version on Boa's album is even better though). Most of the songs on the couple of music CDs released from the series are worth listening too ^_^
love to listen to anime songs, as long as song is good then i will add into my playlist, recently addicted to gundam seed/destiny songs again.
I love the Inukami OP from Yui Horie. http://youtube.com/watch?v=QAKqE2KIBpg&fmt=18
Of course I do! The one that got me into listening to anime songs was Re:member by Flow, Naruto OP 8. http://youtube.com/watch?v=5_Q4tmyBYek I got that song from Gendou and I keep using Gendou up to this day. Vestige (Gundam SEED Destiny) T.M.Revolution Ignited (Gundam SEED Destiny) T.M.Revolution Zips (Gundam SEED Destiny) T.M.Revolution Meteor (Gundam SEED Destiny) T.M.Revolution Invoke (Gundam SEED) T.M.Revolution Resonance (Soul Eater) T.M.Revolution Pride (Gundam SEED Destiny) High and Mighty Color Hare Hare Yukai (Suzumiya Haruhi) Aya Hirano and both OP for Gundam 00. These are just a few. Many more but I gotta go somewhere. Looking forward to everyones list when I get back. Thanks
I just put a few anime OST im my playlists over the years. Akira - TEEETTTTSSSSUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, KAAANNNNNNNEEEDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Rurouni Kenshin - A few Op themes and the full Tsuiokuhen OST Cowboy Bebop Macross PLUS
