[Closed] Music Swap 2025

Maybe something like Golden Liar by Bradio?



Though I have a feeling you'd have listened to this already xD

I'm a mid-10s J-Rock sort of girl, Oral Cigarettes, Hello Sleepwalkers etc., I like something with quite a bit of energy to it normally!

@DessiJ I hope you enjoy one of my favourite opening songs.

@sawamura02

Here's my recommendation for you - the second opening of Ousama Ranking!



It's really a masterclass of cinematic storytelling by Yamashita Shingo, a first-wave web-gen animator, also known for making openings for Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Not only is the music epic and emotional, but the visuals are top-notch. He masterfully incorporates story beats and major character moments without it seeming like spoilers, giving the opening a new experience after you finish watching the show.
For instance, my favourite part from this opening is at 1:05 - (spoliers ahead if you care)


As for the music I like, I quite enjoy j-pop like Lagtrain by inabakumori or Hai Yorokonde by Kocchi no Kento. I also like Joe Hisaishi, Eve, Yoasobi and MYTH&ROID, if that's of any help :p

@Dido16 If you like that particular Apothecary Diaries op, I feel like pretty much all of the new Urusei Yatsura songs should be up your alley, especially things like Love Trap Muchu (and just other MAISONdes songs in general).

Personally, I've mostly been listening to songs featured in Girl Meets Rock lately from bands like Hump Back, Ellegarden, Andymori, Ging Nang Boyz etc.

@dazedcowcow62 Maybe you might like some I've Sound trance music?

Or on the more western side of things, you're probably already familiar with Hybrid's Finished Symphony, but I can't help that it's the first thing I think of when I think 'good orchestral music and uplifting trance'.

One of my all time favorite Japanese pop songs is Te wo Tsunaide by Younha. Maybe someone could recommend something similar? :)

I'm really into Tems music. Here's her tiny desk concert.

Loved your recs, they were nice and upbeat!
Friends I have heard of 🔥 funnily it was covered last year in Snack Basue.
The second song reminded me of some shoegaze like Yuragi
Aiko I haven't listened to too much outside of anime, maybe I should :v

I'll drop you a few recs too though I have a feeling you've heard of these

@IHaveNoLifeYada

You may enjoy this song.

I like this song because of the way the music builds up.

I've really been into the Sonic series, but I really like stuff from Shadow 05. Any vibes similar to this?

first

I'd like to share the opening theme song from the anime Fruits Basket: The Final: Pleasure, by the band WARPs UP.
I like this song because, besides being from one of my favorite anime, I really appreciate this musical style.

@Vanessa_Miura
I feel like you'd like one of my current favorite songs.




I'd love it if someone could find me songs similar to this one! Or perhaps music similar to the one below to help pump me up?

I really like LINE –Sukima Switch
The song feels like a soft connection between two souls. A quiet promise that “I’m still here,” even across distance.

Nostalgic, comforting, and beautifully calming 💛💛💛

@HimeCrycho I think you'd like



I don't particularly listen to music so just recommend me something you like.

Glassy Sky [東京喰種 -トーキョーグール-] is just such a good song! I think anime in general has really good music. I love this song because towards the end the song goes quiet and then BOOOM 'Glasssssyy skyyyyyyy aboooooooove', it is just so beautiful. If you would like to recommend something to me, I would love to hear one of your favorites, because everyone likes something different (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ

@Marzipan-Goose Here's one of my favorites from Ghost in the Shell:



As for me, I'm looking for anything similar to these:

@ nightfury10
Kinda reminds me this late 90s/early 00s brand of metal


Give the Monster Magnet song a bit to build though, they are a stoner band so that's kinda just how they roll.

As far as music requests for myself, I think I need some more time to think about that, I'll either edit this post or make another when I've figured that out.

@Kristiwazhere
You seem to be into rock so i thought you would maybe like this song too!


This has been my recent favourite song but normally i mostly like synthpop.

@IHaveNoLifeYada I know of a song that changes tempos throughout the song (not sure if it also changes signatures).


As for music I like, I've been listening to this recently:

@-ShInIgAmIsAmA-

I don't know any that are too similar but I think (and hope) these might be to your liking:

this

and this!

Also, to add to things I'd like. I've been listening to anime OPs and EDs lately, that sound a bit more traditional. Something like this one, so if anyone has something to rec, I'd love to listen!

@-ShInIgAmIsAmA-, I would reccomend you Lucia's song (Zenless Zone Zero character)

here


And I would like to listen to a good japanese hip-hop/rap track

Woah many new ones for the playlist. The CECIL album had some beautiful instrumentals.
The nao song reminded me a lot of Tuyu with that emotional style.
I did listen to a bit of Tokyo Shoegazer & dots around 2017 :) We seem to know all the niche bands lol

Have you listened before to he & Dog Hairdressers?
https://youtu.be/tkGqCSk-cUo This one by Negoto has some nice buildup too. I rarely listen to them but came across this in a kid's anime last year xD

idk how this works so i'll just say that i like jojo part 3's first op

I really like LINE –Sukima Switch

Yuureisensen / 幽霊船戦


The rhythm , the storyline , the voice — everything in this song is wonderful .

@StyxParadise Hope you will like this
Orb: On the Movements of the Earth OP / Opening 1v1 - Creditless

i like anime openings
eg: DAN DA DAN Opening

@sawamura02

I really wanted to recommend To Be Hero X's opening.
It's a cool music.

(I recommend the anime too.)

I personally like instrumental piano songs, anime songs, pop, rock.
Here is a pretty cool one: Dragonforce - Through the Fire and Flames
