| @nightfury10 I definitely have my picks for video game music, at least. This here is my first thought for something to get the blood pumping As for my personal everyday taste, I'm a goth girlie at heart and Voltaire here has the most playable macabre music for me. He has more famous tracks than the one I'm posting, but if anyone ever watched the Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy as a kid, then there are a couple tracks that should jog your memory His other hit from that series is "Land of the Dead" which was the opening song for the movie "Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure". |

| @MonsterGH Wow, Lord Kenshi in the Gundam opening, incorporating some trance elements into this music is very interesting. That vibe reminds me of the anime ED from Link Click (JP version). ======= And while we're talking about songs in anime, a few weeks ago I listened to a remastered version of a song. I recommend it. It really felt nostalgic even though I've never watched the anime.😅 < SUKIMASWITCH - HELLO ESPECIALLY> |

| @RaiYou I've got a couple things you might enjoy. Links below to Periphery's Hail Stan album, Pure Power by Zardonic, It Has To Be This Way from the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance soundtrack, and Unstopable by E.S. Posthumus. I hope these can also add to your plot armor. For anyone who wants to give me any recommendations, my own tastes are pretty in line with the things that I posted above. But I'm also partial to a good blues song. And big band. Any new artists/bands in these genres would also be appreciated. |

Kohta Imafuku - Orihime This has been in my head for 3 years. It's a combination of good orchestral music and uplifting trance, so hopefully all the riddim/brostep fans here would enjoy this too. |

| @UnlawfulAjay Thats a cool song! It reminds me of another song that features taiko, NEPPUU〜熱風〜 / みきとP feat.初音ミク I really like fun anime openings, the latest one I love is Hyakka Ryouran from Apothecary Diaries season 2. Visuals are very snappy, and after reading the manga's and light novels before this season I really appreciate how subtle the references to events are. The music is quite snappy too, the sort of repeating vocalisations (yura yura & hara hara at the start, pa pa later on) just scratch the good part of my brain. |

| @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. |
| ^ If you are really into songs about rock, maybe this song will connect with you! Personally, lately I have been into Ado, Ali, Phantom Siita and Sakurazaka46! For this music video in particular I really like the meaning, music and choreography done for it. |

| Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku - Ending FULL "Hare no Hi ni" by Reira Ushio (Lyrics) is such good ending song from this show. |

| music recommendation dies irae is my favorite from diabolik lovers. this series is overhated. diabolik lovers has a good discography with mostly rock songs, ballads and other various genres. i'm looking for songs with creepy, haunting carnival/circus vibes. (no high pitched cutesy female vocals, the sharpness hurts my ears) and light, chill, feel good melodies. jazz and r&b are always welcome.

| @Kebakkaran Damn it you beat me to it, Zoltraak is one of my fav OSTs I've come across in recent months. I listen to if quite often. Since you like this I guess you should give a try to Nod-Krai by AURORA. I've recently started to explore AURORA's music and came across this one and I can describe it only as Majestic and Ephemeral. I would love to get more such recommendations as I'm trying to build a playlist of such music which gives fantasy and Isekai vibes. |

| As an avid kpop fan... I can recommend music by Japanese groups under kpop companies ^-^ On the cute side we have NiziU - Take a Picture - one of my favourite songs by them, also has an amazing choreo. For the wolf/werewolf fans (like me) there is &Team - Back To Life - in general their whole lore is werewolves and they have cool music (Firework, War Cry, Scar to Scar) and amazing choreos, great fun to watch them perform. I'll throw in one Japanese song by Stray Kids too cus why not - THE SOUND. Been looking into Japanese idol music but so far nothing has caught my eye. Any recommendations? |

| @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 |

If you're looking for idol music, I think that Perfume might fit (might not be similar to idol bands such as AKB48 though if that is more what you are looking for).
The next band was an interesting take on the idol scene, they tried to become an underground shoegaze idol band. Really nice sound to their music, if you like that type of genre.
As for me, I am open to any music. If anyone has any song they want someone else to listen to I'm all ears :)
Otherwise, I usually listen to shoegaze and noisepop. I can share some of my favorites below:
