Anime Question

What kind of Japanese music do you own or listen too?

Me:
Anime Soundtracks (like Azumanga Daioh, Read or Die)
Videogame Soundtracks (like Castlevania, Street Fighter)
Vocaloids (like Miku, Luka, and Gumi)
Idol (like AKB48 and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - pictured, gosh she's weird)

JPop. I have 14 Japanese songs on my iPod currently, all from my favorite anime of course! Some from Naruto, Death Note, Code Geass, and Soul Eater! I wish there were more on iTunes.

yeah. i get a little frustrated on itunes because it seems much of the anime music is remixed. i want to hear the version i heard in the anime.

Anime OST
Anime Opening themes
Anime ending themes
Hundreds of Vocaloid songs
Dozens of Vocaloid songs covered by real people (utaites, I think they'd called, or something like that . . .)
Character themes
Some idol songs

I swear, I listen to more Japanese music than I do English . . . I sort of have an advantage though, since I have an exclusively Amazon app that lets me download any song I want as long as it's been posted on YouTube.

listening to anime songs is great. it's fun to immerse yourself for a couple minutes in anime that have watched before.

I have a few openings, endings, and original soundtracks. Mostly my Japanese music comes from the Japanese Symphonic Metal band Liv Moon. ♥ I love their classical (the lead vocalist is opera trained and has one heck of a head voice) and classic rock covers, too. Akane Liv is just so great! :P Liv Moon's cover of The Phantom of the Opera:
