Music in aime

Hey there

I wanted to write this article yesterday but my internet crashed... Anyways that was a lucky incident because now I don't have to think about what to post today. ;)

My first ideas were talking about the ways music is used in anime in general but actually I feel like talking about some random songs.

I'll start with this song first:

Nagisa -warm piano arrange- from Clannad

This song is used during the first part of the final scene in Clannad ~Afterstory~. You can find the video in this post: CLANNAD
I love the piano and this song is defenitly one of my favourite songs of this series. I think it expresses the emotions very well and I can't think of a better song to be used in this scene. Also I love the way it leads to the final song 'Chiisana Tenohira" which is also awesome.


Next is Ren'ai Circulation from Bakemonogatari

This is a real anime evergreen for me and I just can't get it out of my head. This one also has some nice wordplay in the lyrics.


Mahler's Symphony #8 used in the climax of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

The whole scene is just perfect. SPOILER(the blue giants, the kiss and the music form an awesome anime moment) It fits so perfectly that I get goosebumps everytime I watch it.

We'll move on toYasashii Bokyaku used in Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu.

The version that I'm talking about is the one that was used at the end of the movie. It has no instrumental part but somehow it feels complete just the way it is.


If you want to get some OST here's a short list of anime OSTs I can recommend:

all the Clannad OSTs
K-on! + character discs
Angel Beats  all Girls Dead Monster songs(also those that weren't used in the anime)
Welcome to the N.H.K.
The first Naruto OST
FMA + Brotherhood
and most of the songs from the Little Busters! visual novel(anime uses the same songs mostly)


That's it for now. I'm not sure if I can post another article today because there's a storm comeing and I fear my internet is going to crash again.

Peace
