love it when someone finds music and just goes "YOOOOOOOOOO" for 19 minutes and 01 seconds

It's hilarious. People who never got in touch with video games and Anime slowly realise, that this is a Rabbithole full of masterful music.
@panickedorganic
Spirited Away's soundtrack genuinely makes me cry, not just from nostalgia, but from the feelings of the music. It's so emotional and you can absolutely hear all of it. What a masterpiece.
@lilMissmAlice
They're called The Seatbelts because they have to be belted in to wail that hard in zero gravity without floating away from the mics. Yoko Kanno is Queen

Nujabes: samurai champloo ost - This is THE album that created the whole genre of chillhop. Aside from Bebop, this might be the most influential OST ever made. Nujabes created a laidback quirky style of hip hop and then died straight after, his work completed. Kevin Penkin: Made in Abyss OST (fourth layer) --- Eerie atmospheric. Does incredible work building the fantastic and strange world they travel through. They start on the surface and gradually descend through layers and the music reflects this as they get further and further from normal. Yuki Kajiura: .hack OST (the world, fake wings) - Heavy strings of all sorts, high paced violin sections, heavy drones, crisp classical guitar. Tribal voices to gentle melodic songs. Kenji Kawai - Mob Psycho 100 OST 2 (Explosion of Mob) - This anime goes wild with a character powered by emotions, and as he loses his mind the music does too. Susumu Hirasawa - Paprika - This is by far the strangest yet beautiful ost I've ever heard. I have no idea how to describe it. Yoshiaki Fujisawa - Houseki no Kuni - Ghibli vibes. Simple instrument choices. Often just 2 or 3 instruments working together. Just sit and enjoy. Cutting it down to this is actual torture. :( If anyone listens to these or has any to add please do! I tried to keep it to popular anime for the youtube algorithm but I should also mention: Ikoku Meiro no Croisée and Ristorante Paradiso - both have the whole OST played by the same small (3 person) jazz band called Ko-ko-ya with no extra effects or tweaking. The direct connection with the music is wonderful. "Ikoku no Choro" is insanely good! But wouldn't do much for the algorithm :/ Edit: He has reacted to Lupin3 right? That's literally a jazz standard in Japan now. It is likely the most recognizable jazz in the country. Edit: I also think a review of the ost for Guu by Akifumi Tada (he also did bomberman 64) would be hilarious. That OST is just so much fun samba weirdness.
@henrids
What I admire and love with Japanese composers is that they took American jazz, European classical music, and forged versions of their own with such talent and creativity!
@LarryWiseCDR
The main theme from "Princess Mononoke" is phenominal. Yoko Kanno's "Voices" from Macross Plus is one I've orchestrated on multiple synths. The whole soundtrack of the 5th OAV for "Oh! My Goddess" was filled with 80's takes on 60's music.
@joelcraig9803
"This is basically just the Blues, right?" No, its Bebop!
@sombra2568
As Japanese,I will recommend "Lupin the 3rd" composed by Yuji Ohno.
@FreakazoidRobots
The idea that "cartoons are just for kids" is a very western concept. In Asia, salary men read Japanese comics on their subway rides home from work.

The method of animation for Kids on the Slope is called rotoscoping, where you film someone and draw over the film to capture exact movements. What you're seeing is an animated version of someone's actual movements, and this is probably one of the best uses of rotoscoping I've ever seen.
@joshvogel2770
I'm a drummer and always laugh/point out how what is being heard isn't being played, but they captured Every! Single! Hit! And it's not just that the sticks are hitting the right drum/cymbal, but they animated the proper technique to hit them. Feels so much more real
@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499
The piano works of Joe Hisaishi are the stuff of legend. His compositions for the Miyazaki films are simply god tier.
@JamesHawken
When you see that clean - crisp - eerily realistic animation, it's because it's motion captured and drawn over. I LOVE seeing it in animation. Mechanical stuff like putting something together, cooking, and now seeing it in music is SOO good!
@datboi2747
John Williams makes me feel: Cinematic, or like I'm "IN THE MOMENT" Bearing witness. Joe Hisaishi makes me feel like I'm reminiscing of a old memory, and the music hugs you with "nostalgia"
@blast_processing6577
Yoko Kanno is a prodigy. Listen to her compositions for Please Save My Earth (1994), Macross Plus (1994), The Vision of Escaflowne (1996), Cowboy Bebop (1998), Earth Maiden Arjuna (2001), and Wolf's Rain (2003), and the breadth of her skill is apparent -- she has mastered so many genres of music.
@RiffsAndLifts
The ghost in the shell soundtrack was really otherworldly gorgeous with those choir parts.
@ramengirll
Hisaishi''s music just dismantles you at your core(but in a good way).. As a person who experiences frisson (goosebumps and tingles at the back of my head when I hear certain music), Joe's musical scores just make me surrender to his beautiful serenades like no other. It's pure joy to the ears.
