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:

Recommend a non-anime song that would be a good fit as opening song for a popular anime

The songs don't have to be in Japanese - any language is fine!
It would be better in English though but any other language also works!
Share the song, and the anime it fits best.
The anime should be the popular animes - one that not only you and I know but also some other people know. 😅

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?).

  1. To join, comment your answer in this post.
  2. No need to make a new post to join this contest.

I love sports anime, so I'd like WORLD QUEST by NEWS be used in any soccer anime, most especially Ao Ashi when they already play in the world stage. <3

In addition, when my mom and I were checking Josh Cullen's NO CONTROL MV, we thought of Wind Breaker. It's partly because of Josh's current hairstyle which is the same with Sakura. :) But the vibe of the song, fits the anime... especially the fight scenes... haha

All I could think of was
Lenka - Trouble is a friend.

This song could go well with a mystery themed anime. I just thought of HYOUKA (maybe you guys have other ideas)

Ahhhh Lenka! I really loved how cool her voice is, and this song sure fits with Hyouka because trouble do always finds Oreki ahahhaha...untitled.gif

Arigato~ I'm really thrilled hehehe... Anyway... non-anime songs—I have a lot of them stacked up high, but I chose Green Day songs because the drums and bass do really vibe well with anime opening! This first two could easily be the Chainsaw Man's opening song because its beat and lyrics just fit perfectly (especially if the part where Power died—I'm a manga reader, so I'm not sure if that part was animated already...)

Letterbomb

It's not over 'till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burnin'
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

Scattered

Well, I've got some scattered pictures
Lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we've shared
Makes me wish that you were here

And this one could pass as a Boku no Hero Academia opening. The beat of this song really pumped my adrenaline high! And the lyrics kinda fit the villains' pov...

Revolution Radio

Scream, with your hands up in the sky
Like you want to testify
For the life that's been deleted
Sing, like a rebel's lullaby
Under the stars and stripes
For the lost souls that were cheated
We will be seen but not be heard

Hi, I love this type of interaction haha.

I think this song by JUSTIN BIEBER ft. QUAVO suits this couple between Kagome and Inuyasha very well.

Hello, I'm new to this type of community and what you propose caught my attention, so here I leave this theme, for me it fits Dragon Ball Z very well.
Greetings

Song ->

Anime -> Initial D

Initial D perfectly showed that with appropriate editing skills, emotional and tonal sense, you can make a great AMV in the anime itself. I considered several different anime and songs, but ultimately chose these. Why? Because they both have similar themes (fast races and pretty women - I recommend Turbokiller's music video), and the tempo of the Carpenter Brut song fits Initial D perfectly. Both the lighter stages of the race, when Takumi or his friend finishes the race as the winner, and those in which they lose. The 39th second and around are perfect for the moment when the hero once again charges his batteries to try to defeat his rival. In fact, every fragment of this song would easily find its place in this anime. All the more so because, like experienced creators of films or series (I'm talking about those who like to make fragments of their works in the form of music videos), the editor of the Initial D anime has a perfect sense of where to put even a fragment of it. Apart from that, I encourage you to watch this title. There is so much non-Japanese music in it that every TAR member will find something for themselves for this event, hehe.

Love the song!!! It's my first time listening to it and I already love it!
And also, you just reminded me to watch Initial D 😅 I will soon! It’s been on my todos but I haven’t had time to start! I only know of clips, so I can’t wait to watch the anime and then listen again to this song!

So lovely <3 :D. This isn't a song from Initial D, but you'll definitely find something for yourself. The entire ID soundtrack is about 6-7 hours long and is filled with various songs - there are some hard rock/metal songs, but mostly lighter ones.

The song is from the Synthwave genre. For myself, I recommend Nina, Dana Jean Phoenix, Carpenter Brut. :)

I would like to combine the song: “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons with Attack on Titan. I think this song would fit super well as an opening song for Attack on Titan. It has that epic energy that fits perfectly with the battles and all the drama of the anime. Plus, the lyrics about fighting and surviving go really well with the story.

I agree, not only because of the epic and eternal meme of Chayanne, without a doubt his famous song Torero although you can not believe it is perfect with a lot of action anime haha, I think that by having a salsa rhythm so classic and marked manages to blend in a great way with any anime to be like the musical base of almost all the songs haha, I have seen Real de OP de Jujutsu, Naruto, Kimetsu where they place it and with all of them it is perfect haha
