notes

  • 'unravel' was the OP for Tokyo Ghoul
  • A/Z was one of the EDs for Aldnoah.zero
  • This 'Let Iit Go' is the Japanee version by the voice of Elsa, not the pop verison.
  • Thanks to 'database' I discovered MAN WITH A MISSION
  • 'aズ-17歩' is: as-inaho aka it's Inaho's theme. It's beautiful
  • 'YAMANAIAME' came out on November 11th and it made it on my top 10. Think about that for a moment.
  • 'Before my body is dry' - came out late december 2013 that counts. XD
  • GH = General Hospital a US soap opera. hey did an awesome cover of Pink's "Raise Your Glass"
  • This is the Aimer version of 'EGO' originally performed by the beautiful Kobayashi Mika

repetitive-ness

Sawano Hiroyuki. I'm obesessed with his music. I have a playlist set up with only his music. I watch show just becuase he is doing the music. I'm a Sawano-san fangirl. I buy his stuff. The LEs if possible. This explains 5 of the tracks in my Top 10. Hits: Aldnoah.zero, Attack on Titan, KILL la KILL & Gundam UC.

notes

  • #1 is a Single
  • After hearing 'database' by MWAM I had to get their album: Tales of Purefly
  • UnChild is a collection of Sawano-san's Gundam UC songs featuring Aimer singing them. All of them not just the songs she had sung.
  • Made it on here for really just Takako's version of Ari no mama de (Let It Go)
  • A.Z OST made it on here thanks to that playlist I made of just 2 tracks: アZ-Kat & aズ-17歩
  • MFS one of the best Japanese rock bands right now. Check out Black Rail when you have a chance.
  • Iwasaki's interesting choice of instruments scores him points
  • Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii's OST included the breath taking song: Amefurashi no Uta: Beautiful Rain as well as the OP & ED.
  • As soon as I heard 'Maybe someday' in the background of an episode I knew I had to get this OST.

repetitive-ness

Sawano Hiroyuki. x3.

He also had Nanatsu no Taizai's OST which came out in December, but I'm still waiting for my copy That may make the 2015 list. Maybe.
