Evening folks
Back in August I did a post about some of my favourite anime songs. It was met with a good response so I thought I'd do another as I have found some just as awesome songs since the last post.
First off, I'm kicking things off with a real beauty that I stumbled across by chance this week. This one is a shout out to all you muscle building enthusiats, I present it to you with all its muscle bound Chibi glory on show.
Here it is, Macho a Name? by Naruzou Machio (Kaito Ishikawa).
Turn that volume up and bask in it;s glory!!!!!
This has been on repeat daily since I heard it this week. Each time the song and video just get better and better, howling with laughter that I really can't control.
An absolute musical and visual masterpiece!
This is the ending theme from How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? (Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?)
Next up we are going to reel it in a bit in the terms of comedy, this next one is another musical beauty. The first 15 seconds of this song let's you know that you are in for a treat and definitely a song not to miss off your playlist.
The song is called dis-communicate, by Jun Fukuyama. It is the opening theme song for the anime series
Midnight Occult Civil Servants.
Each time I listen it's like hearing it all over again, I just love it!
Let's keep the bangers going shall we.
Next up we have another smashing track, this is from the series Ao Ashi.
The song is call Mushinhakusuu, by [Alexandros]. I had never heard of them until this, and I am pleasantly surprised by their other songs that I have heard so far. Worth a listen in my opinion.
Now onto the song, let's hit it!
This song is an amazing way to start the Ao Ashi series. It is the opening theme song and It really sets the mood for some pumped up action and really sets the series up well.
The best part is that the ending theme song is a massive change of pace and style that I can't miss it off of this list.
From the straight up upbeat and fast tempo of Mushinhakusuu and then to finish an episode on this is just amazing. It is such a calming song, get's you all nice and relaxed to watch another episode. Then bam back to more upbeat music. Rinse and repeat.
For me both of these songs suit the series so well that I love them!
Next up we are turning back the clock to 1988 with The help of the Legendary movie Akira.
I present to you, Kaneda by Geinoh Yamashirogumi.
It's now time to sit back, relax and take in the beauty
Even till this day this it is still just a song of pure quality and beauty that we unfortunately don't get in most films/series any more.
This next one's a bit earlier but still showing the stunning tracks we had pre 2000's.
Making of a Cyborg by Kenji Kawai. The film came out in 1995 and till this day is still amazing.
The first 8 seconds of the song brings back such clear memories of this film from my childhood. It's quite amazing that it's so iconic that from very little I know exactly where I heard it first.
Back to the 2000's with this next one.
Yumetourou (Dream Lantern) by RADWIMPS
Now if you have heard this before I'm sure you have seen the movie Kimi no Na wa. (Your Name) and if you havn't then I feel sad for you. This song and film had the same impact on me when I first watched/heard it that was the same as first seeing Spirited Away!
A film that till this day, every time that I watch it, it pulls on my heart strings. Such a beauty
One more time, one more chance by Masayoshi Yamazaki.
This song is a work of beauty, just the same as the movie 5 Centimeters per Second. Damn that film caused me some emotional issues when I first saw it!
Let's shatter that loviliness and hit you striaght up with the next song.
Angel Of Love by Masahiro Ikumi and featuring Misa Wajima, Emiko Furakawa & Mie Shimizu.
Now this little beauty was taken from the amazing film Perfect Blue. If you haven't seen it or heard of it, then I have 2 things to say to you.
The film is messed up but the soundtrack is on point!
And on this last epic piece I think it's time to finish up with another oldie but goldie,
Sono Mama no Kimi de Ite by Yuuko Nitou from the legendary Patlabor series!!!!!!!!!!
Before you ask, yes I am that old!
