Sometimes just one song is the right one, there will always be more to add! What tracks are your favorites? I'm always looking for suggestions
This is the ending theme for Arakawa Under the Bridge that you'll see the Kappa, or Chief, wandering to, it's stuck in my head 99% of the time lately. Akai Coat by SUNEOHAIR
赤いコート - Akai Coat (Arakawa Under The Bridge)
This is the opening for the alien /fishing anime Tsuritama, a great show. The song has a fun beat and the opening dancing animation is entertaining to watch. Tsurezure Monochrome by Fujifabric
Tsuritama OP FULL - Tsurezure Monochrome (徒然モノクローム) ENG subtitles
This opening from Cromartie has a catchy smooth guitar riff. Jun - Takuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida - Jun
This is a beautiful ambient song to chill out to that gives you the vibe of staring at the cosmos as you drift through.
Space Lion
In addition to the soundtrack in the following section, listening to this track on vinyl is a treat
Samurai Champloo on vinyl is the original lofi hip hop
Samurai Champloo just has so many good beats. This is good for strolling through town on your commute
world without words
An almost jaunty, creepy circus beat that hooked me right away, from a highly recommended anime movie that I'm going to watch now that I just remembered it, 😅
Susumu Hirasawa - Parade
Truly epic cover, put it on cinema settings, turn up the base and get ready.
One Piece : Drums of Liberation x Overtaken (EPIC COVER) (GEAR 5)
Very fun pirate drinking song with with all the Straw Hat cast. This version features UTA because I like the positive energy she put into it (I know that's strange to say about a tragic song, but drinking songs often combine tragedy and revelry) but...
One Piece - Binks no sake (Feat UTA)
It's just weird and funny, like it should be.
『ケロロ軍曹』Keroro Gunso OP 1「EN Sub」
Bizarre and interesting lyrics with a rough singing voice. Nice.
Otsuki Kenji & Kitsutaka Fumihiko - Odoru Akachan Ningen with Lyrics | English Subbed
A classic anime opening song with a fast pace that gives fun energy
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Opening |Creditless| [HD]
This is the opening song from my favorite comedic anime Binbougami Ga. It's an upbeat pop/sort of pop punk song good to listen to while you're exercising, perhaps... Running (tell me you've seen the opening 😁)
Piko - Make My Day!
Some old surfer rock vibes because every episode is technically a beach episode with mermaids.
My Bride is a Mermaid Romantic Summer Full OP
Just absolutely wrecked remembering the scenes this song accompanies. Beautiful, tragic, love and complicated emotion. It hits deep.
Inuyasha - Dearest (Instrumental)
I think the singer of this song has a beautiful voice and I enjoy the feeling she gives to the music with her expressiveness. It is the first ending of Yashahime, the song is Break by the artist Uru.
Yashahime Ending #1 - Break by Uru
A beautiful song from a beautiful anime
The sore feet song ||Mushishi openign Full||
This is the ending theme for Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens, it is very touching and appropriate for the spirit of this fun & thoughtful anime. The song is Musuhino Toki by Tomatsu Haruka from the album Rainbow Road
Kannagi Ending Full Song
I don't think there was one episode yet that I didn't cry through this beautiful ending 🫠
Natsume Yuujinchou Season 1 Ending [Creditless] 1080px264
Just an iconic waltz from an iconic movie
Joe Hisaishi - Merry-Go-Round of Life (from “Howl’s Moving Castle”)
Albums & Playlists 🎶
Not just from shows, but mostly. These composers, musicians, and sound composers knew what they were doing when they put these albums together!
This rec isn't from any specific anime, it's a playlist of Japanese city pop music but I enjoy the visuals that accompany the music in the old school anime style.
80’S JAPANESE CITY POP🎵 / CHILL VIBES / MOOD SETTER for Study, Work & Chill🤍
Ginger Root is Cameron Lew's band and for this project Lew combines his music with the 80's & 90's Japanese City Pop & anime aesthetic. It's a great watch and listen, along with Lew's other work such as the album Nisemono.

Kids on the Slope or Sakamichi no Apollon is an extremely well made anime about how music brings people together and changes lives. The soundtrack is full of popular jazz and original songs.
Kids on the Slope OST
A great soundtrack for those who enjoy classical music or want to get more into the genre even in anime, check out the rich and high quality Nodame Cantabile OST.

I could list all the Studio Ghibli albums on here one by one, but I'm not sure if I should 🤔😁 Instead instead I chose this 47 song mix from the composer Joe Hisaishi who created many of the familiar tracks that add to Ghibli's magic.
Joe Hisaishi - Merry-Go-Round: Studio Ghibli Music
This is a fantastic old anime with a vintage soundtrack that still feels right
Tenchi Muyo Original Soundtrack
Most of the FLCL soundtrack playlist is by the pillows. Crazy Sunshine is a main favorite.
Album - FLCL Season 1 Vol. 2 (Original Soundtrack)
More from the pillows! Blues Drive Monster is my husband's favorite.
Album - FLCL Season 1 Vol. 3 (Original Soundtrack)
Just some of the best lofi and instrumental music in anime soundtracks.
Samurai Champloo OST
If you just want to mellow in sad vibes that surround your heart this is a calming instrumental playlist with the slower, emotional songs of Inuyasha.
Inuyasha OST - Sad/Beautiful Piano & Instruments Mix
