Anime Tracks Thursday Contest
Imagine you're the DJ and I'm your audience.
I'm pretty sure you've heard a lot of anime songs or are you always skipping the OST? 😅 Hopefully, you still listen to the songs every now and then because they're gems!
For the theme:
It should be an anime song, of course. Old or new, anything is fine as long as it suits with the theme.
What kind of anisong do you listen to before sleeping?
Is it a sad song? Or a love song? Or just a sweet or calming song?
I'm sure it's not something that will make you dance..or maybe it is?!
Let me know in the comments!
Please provide the title and the artist, and if possible a link to the music (youtube, spotify or maybe you singing?).

I love listening to Ghibli songs... Especially by Joe Hisaishi... It's always so relaxing to listen to them. 🥰🥰🥰
For example:
Howl's Moving Castle
Video
Totoro
Video
and a lot more... 💙🩵
Spirited away's OST is my supposed entry hahahaha title one summer day by joe hisaishi as well hahaha but I'll try a different artists
Hahaha... They're all so good! 🥰🩵
right? he is a genius!
He sure is... :)
waaaa love the howl’s moving castle one! it’s making me realize how tired i am today lol
Guess it's because it relaxes you, so your body suddenly feels heavy... 😁 You should get some rest... 💙🩵
Joe Hisaishi is just perfect. Everything he does is perfection.
I feel that Joe Hisaishi is the Anime version of Akira Yamaoka to Silent Hill!
I don't know why but Naruto's sad songs have something special for me. I know people usually don't like that type of songs but I love them, they relax me so much.
My favorite are these:
Sadness and sorrow
Loneliness
Hokage's Funeral
Also, thank so much for the prize! :3
i didn’t know you’re a bit melodramatic listener 😉
I am, I'm like a sad emo kid hahahaah
That is 3 amazing choices. Sadness and sorrow is for sure my favourite. It has a mix of everything I enjoy in one song. A beautiful choice.
That song is gorgeous, definitely my favorite from Naruto. I don't know what it is but it has a certain magical feeling
I'd put it in my top 3 favourite Naruto scores.
Wind will always be my favourite
That one is good too! I love Blue Bird as well
I find that as long as an Anime has a good soundtrack, some plot holes can be forgiven
I agree haha that actually happens a lot
It's worrying though. How easily we forgive stuff with good music
Definitely it is
i have so many anime song i listen to before I sleep, which is hard to select only one song coz i have a lot of anime ost that I think needs to be shared with this topic hahaha but I'll pick the top 4 best ones for me. that just hit right into the kokoro
Karenai hana by Mikuni Shimokawa
Every Heart by Boa
Fukai Mori - Do as Infinity
Loop by Sakamoto Maaya
ugh i could go on and on with other animes that have so many melo op and ed song but i have to stop not to flood this with all of it, sorry it took 4 videos of youtube but i just need to share them because they are so good to listen to before sleeping, also thank you for the reward ~
i’m about to sleep so i’ll give these a listen haha
nyahaha i hope you liked it witty
For a relaxing anime song to listen to, I love: Demon Slayer's "Kamado Tanjiro no Uta". This song offers a soothing combination of emotions, starting off soft. Its serene tones evoke warmth and nostalgia, making it a great choice for relaxing. ❤️
This one is a tough one for sure to choose from, so unfortunately I'm entering 3 😅
Wind by Akeboshi from Naruto
One Summer's Day by Joe Hisaishi from Spirited Away
Last is Country Road as heard in Whisper Of The Heart
I love this version so much, the singers voice is amazing.
These are all beautiful and are in so many of my playlist's it's unreal.
1.) Ceui - Binkan na Fuukei , from the anime Sola.
2.) Saori Atsumi - Mou Sukoshi... MouSukoshi... . from the anime Midori no Hibi.
3.) Kuroishi Hitomi - Continued Story - from the anime Code Geass R2.
These are basically the anime songs I listen to if I want to sleep... These are just soothing, and I like how they lull me to forget about my problems and just choose to sleep LoL. (I've already recommended the first one before, but I think it's worth mentioning again because it really fits with the theme!)
Life Is Like A Boat (Bleach):
Hoshiboshi No Uta (Fairy Tail):
Kansha (Bleach):

This is one of the anime ost's that I really like to listen to before I sleep and this is entitled "I Will Become A Cat" from the anime series Fruits Basket. Sometimes even when I am asleep (because I fall asleep so easily while listening to this song) for this song is just like a lullaby, I find myself waking up with this song on repeat🥰
Actually, Star Beats! is also a song that I often play when I want to sleep. But since I mentioned it in the previous comment, I'll choose this song.

Not the opening or closing song of the anime Joshikousei no Mudazukai, but just an insert song in episode 11. Original Song from a YouTube account TeishotokuP...
I think that to sleep would be perfect any of the DEs of Darling In The Fraxx, one of my favorite anime and that almost all their Endings are very relaxing, personally my favorites are the second ED called Manatsu no Setsuna.
The other would be the 5th called Escape, although it is a little more rhythmic, I also find it relaxing.
