Anime is definitely a catalyst for a lot of things from music to dance to fashion. With NYAF coming up, I’m decided that this and next round up will feature all anime music. There’s a lot out there and if it weren’t for these animes, some artists probably wouldn’t be as popular as they are.

I’ve chosen the list below after consulting a few friends on their favorite anime music. They’re very common and highly loved by a lot of people, including myself. It was really difficult just picking out 5 but I was able to narrow it down.

Also, I’m sorry to have missed last week’s. I’ve been so busy with NYAF! I will double the amount I do next week’s and the week after that. As always, enjoy!

Bleach: High and Mighty Color – Ichirin no Hana

One Piece: Maki Otsuki – Run Run Run

Naruto: Sambomaster – Sekishun Kyousoukyoku

Full Metal Alchemist: Asian Kung Fu Generation - Rewrite

Bleach: Orange Range - Asterisk
