My Top 5 Anime Songs

I've dug up some of my anime songs that I used to listen to back then. I watch less anime now, but I still am a bit updated on the songs that come out. Sadly, the new anime songs of today aren't all that catchy and lasting anymore. There are still some but they're quite a few. While I'm feeling nostalgic, I present to you my top 5 anime songs that I have always loved.

Number 5: Combattler V (Combattler V opening)
Why I like it: Combattler V is my favorite Super Robot of all time. And its opening song is really catchy, and really lives up to the convention of Super Robot themes.

Number 4: Taiyou ga Mata Kagayaku Toki by Takahashi Hiro (Yu Yu Hakusho 4th ending)
Why I like it: If you're just chilling, or simply relaxing, you can listen to this song. The guitar strumming and the mellow voice will keep you warm inside for a long time. And it also sounds happy and content

Number 3: Namida wa Shitte Iru by Mayo Suzukaze (Rurouni Kenshin 2nd ending)
Why I like it: Another chilling song, the melody is what strikes me. Combined with the great voice (also the seiyuu of Kenshin), it will put a smile in your face. The full version is much better, especially the intro.

Number 2: Aoi no Requiem by Tsubokura Yuiko (Samurai Deeper Kyo opening)
Why I like it: I actually never watched the anime. I didn't like it much, but the song rocks. The tone and construction of the song really goes well with the anime. And the intro will get stuck in your head, at least it did with mine.

And the number 1 spot goes to: Kimi Sae Ireba by DEEN (Cooking Master Boy 2nd opening)
Why I like it: It brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it.

So there you go. I always listen to these songs when I feel nostalgic and happy. :D

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!

I was bored from work and got nothing to do. So I decided to just listen to some 70s disco songs. Yes, 70s disco songs. At least it's funky, upbeat and lively. I recalled some popular artists from the disco era like the Bee Gees, Earth, Wind & Fire and ABBA.

It was fun listening to some of them, since I like disco myself. But this ABBA song got stuck in my head, until now. It's called Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) by ABBA. It's one of their popular songs. Fun fact: Madonna's song "Hung Up" sampled the tune from this song. Try listening to it if you don't know what I'm talking about.
