| Hey peeps! As many people like to do, they hear an OST to an anime and go "That song was awesome and I want to get the whole thing for my mp3 player!" In the past I enjoyed getting the music through a more"shady" means to get the music for free, but always feel a bit guilty afterwards. Question to you guys is.... Are there any places online similar to an iTunes kind of style where I can buy these songs and support the artists that make this awesome music? |

Sadly, buying OSTs are hard to get. You see accessbility to Japanese stuff is very hard and very complicated and may require some fluency in Japanese if you lived outside of Japan/Asia. Read this article from Answerman. I hope this help. |
| Ahhh that makes more sense but a bit of a bummer too. Thanks for the quick input :) |

| Some anime osts actually get put onto itunes, if that means anything. You could also just order them physically from Amazon Japan. |
| More obscure anime that are not dubbed/localized usually don't go on iTunes and you can only find the illegally (if you're in any other country than Japan) which really sucks. Maybe buying the actual CD is wiser if you want to support the artists. I can't think of any site off the top of my head that directly supports the artists. |

Yeah it's no wonder no anime OSTs have ever charted on Billboard chart when K-pop are doing this. |

| Just buy the physicals dude, I have a ton of OST and anisong CDs, you can easily get them on Amazon. Some might be rather expensive, but just keep checking on them, EVERYTHING will go down and EVERYTHING will go up at seemingly random and pretty fast so have money ready in advance. You can get stuff dirt cheap on Japanese Amazon too, but shipping is way more, if they even ship out of Japan (most sellers don't) |
