Since I've been watching so much anime recently I've really started to enjoy some more Japanese songs. They're mostly J-pop but hey what are you gonna do? I also started mixing it into my normal stuff at work (thanks Pandora!) which thankfully nobody else at my work can hear.
This Love from the Blood+ anime. I have only watched like one or two episodes of Blood+ back when it was on Adult Swim so I've known about this song for a while. Even though I didn't care much for the show, this song really stood out for me and I fell in love with it. The youtube is a fan made version but it still contains the song in good quality.

Calling from the Baccano anime. I could listen to this song on repeat for hours and never get tired of it. After each episode finishes I have to stop myself from listening to it again so I won't get tired of it. Very, very beautiful.

Blue from Cowboy Bebop. When I first started looking into Cowboy Bebop I read so many good comments about the soundtrack. However it wasn't until I watched the show that I realized how true all these reviews were and how much the music for this show stands above so many other animes. Yoko Kanno truly is a genius. I've started listening to her other stuff from Wolf's Rain and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and let me just say she never disappoints.

And last but not least, it's not amine but it's so gorgeous. Last Song by Gackt. I have no idea what he is saying but it doesn't matter. The song is so good and the emotion he conveys so powerful I don't need a translation. Beware of the first like 20 seconds though. Ear piercing.
