"Lion" by Sheryl Nome Starring May'n & Ranka Lee [Megumi Nakajima]
Macross Frontier (TV) Opening Theme (episodes 18-24) [2008]

Spoiler:

"Gotta Knock a Little Harder" by The Seatbelts featuring Mai Yamane
Cowboy Bebop: Tengoku no Tobira (movie) Ending Theme [2001]

Spoiler:

Happiness is just a word to me And it might have meant a thing or two If I'd known the difference
Emptiness a lonely parody And my life another smokin' gun A sign of my indifference
Always keepin' safe inside Where no one ever had a chance To penetrate a break in
Let me tell you some have tried But I would slam the door so tight That they could never get in
Kept my cool under lock and key And I never shed a tear Another sign of my condition
Fear of love or bitter vanity That kept me on the run The main events at my confession
I kept a chain upon my door That would shake the shame of Cain Into a blind submission
The burning ghost without a name Was calling all the same But I wouldn't listen
The longer I'd stall The further I'd crawl The further I'd crawl The harder I'd fall I was crawlin' into the fire
The more that I saw The further I'd fall The further I'd fall The lower I'd crawl I kept fallin' into the fire Into the fire Into the fire
Suddenly it occurred to me The reason for the run and hide Had totaled my existence
Everything left on the other side Could never be much worse that this But could I go the distance
I faced the door and all my shame Tearin' off each piece of chain Until they all were broken
But no matter how I tried The other side was locked so tight The door it wouldn't open
Gave it all that I got And started to knock Shouted for someone To open the lock I just gotta get through the door
And the more that I knocked The hotter I got The hotter I got The harder I'd knock I just gotta break through the door
Gotta knock a little harder (3x) Break through the door (5x)
Gotta knock a little harder (3x) Break down the door

[jdthebud]

Here's one I'm surprised hasn't been added yet:

OP1 for Xam'd: Lost Memories:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMEQfbrDMbo

[Traece]

Interesting list that's been developed here.

I'm surprised to see so many good songs yet some that seem to have been left out. I wont go pointing fingers at specific songs as much as I'll suggest some animes you may want to look in to in terms of music.

Last Exile (more specifically the Silverna and Hello, Kitty Girl tracks), .Hack//Sign (Yuki Kajiura's work so... Yeah. Grandpa's Violin is one of the most beautiful pieces there that is worth listening to), Darker Than Black: Gemini of the Meteor (more specifically I would look at From Dusk Till Dawn, Candraphrabha's Tears, Dive into the 9, and No. 23), and lastly Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig's ending Living Inside the Shell.

Just a few songs to consider looking at.

It's so hard to make a list! (please wait for the 100 Anime Songs of the Decade in a few days)

News: Nana Mizuki has become the first seiyū (character voice) with a #1 CD single on Oricon's weekly singles chart in Japan. "Phantom Minds", the theme song for the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The MOVIE, has sold 54,000 copies in its first week. Mizuki beat her own previous record of #2, which she first earned with her "Eternal Blaze" song in 2005. Her "Shinai" song also debuted at #2 and as well as 2008's "Trickster" single. Before Mizuki, Megumi Hayashibara held the record with her #3 song, "Northern Lights" in 2002. The other seiyū who have reached #3 are Maaya Sakamoto's "Triangler" in 2008 and Aya Hirano's "Super Driver" in 2009. Mizuki's Ultimate Diamond album reached #1 last June, also a first for a seiyū. Expect a Mizuki song this week as one of the 100 top song of the last decade.

Spoiler for English translation:

One, two...

But that's no good.
Look, it won't work.
Our hearts will keep on evolving,
More and more.

If words will ruin our relationship,
Then we don't need them.
I thought so, and I was scared -
But wait, maybe that's not quite right..

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step,
So I'll go on with a resolution as firm as stone.
If I bring together enough dust, will I get the ideal woman?
Without the “shi” – no, even if it kills me!

Softly, gently,
You’re calling my name,
And with just that,
I float up into space.

Gently, softly,
You’re laughing,
And with just that,
A smile comes to my face.

Thank you God,
Even if it’s a prank of fate.
I’m happy
That I could meet you.

But that's no good.
Look, it won't work.
Our hearts will keep on evolving,
More and more.

Yup, I don't want it like that.
Hey, that’ll come later.
I just want you to look at me
Forever and ever.

Compared to your presence inside me,
My presence inside you
Isn’t as big as -
I know this,

But at this same moment,
We’re sharing these feelings.
If I bring together enough dust, I’ll get the ideal woman.
For short? Gather dust to get the lovable Nadeko!

Giddy, dizzy,
When I look up at you,
Just that much is
Too dazzling.

Dizzy, giddy,
I’m thinking about you,
And with just that,
I melt away.

Thank you God,
Even if it’s a prank of fate.
I’m happy
That I could meet you.

The seasons of love are greed’s circulation.
These feelings of love are greed’s circulation.
These loving eyes are greed’s circulation.
This maiden in love is in greed’s circulation.

Softly, gently,
You’re calling my name,
And with just that,
I float up into space.

Gently, softly,
You’re laughing,
And with just that,
A smile comes to my face.

Thank you God,
Even if it’s a prank of fate.
I’m happy
That I could meet you.

But that's no good.
Look, it won't work.
Our hearts will keep on evolving,
More and more.

Yup, I don't want it like that.
Hey, that’ll come later.
I just want you to look at me
Forever and ever.

Chain by Back-On. Opening of Air Gear

Most OST songs in the series are deprived from this very song.

[janipani]

Some I really like

Love Hina : Yui Horie - Yakusoku
Maison Ikkoku: Kanashimi no Konichiwa
Maison Ikkoku: Ashite Hareru Ka
Shonen Mowgli: Oyasumi nasai
Totoro: Tonari no Totoro
Dragon Ball: Romantic Ageru Yo
Ginga Nagareboshi Gin: Mikael Laver - Akira
Princess Sarah: Satoko Shimonari - Mizu-iro no sora e

[Patch&Quilt]

Guts from the Berserk soundtrack is one of the best anime songs ever.

[MaxMaximilianMaximus]

Aria, Kiddy Grade, Gurren Lagann, Ah my Goddess, Mai HiME/Otome and Rozen Maiden is the album to look for soft tunes.
