Favourite Anime Songs and Background Music

My two favorites were the English versions of the Pokemon Advanced theme and Battle Frontier. I didn't really follow the Battle Frontier episodes like... AT ALL, because I didn't like it as much, but I really did like the theme. xD

I think it was Battle Frontier anyway... I just assume because it says, "Battle Frontier" about ten times in the song. xD

Battle Frontier eps were poorly dubbed but to be fair that was when TPCi decided to replace the main 4Kids VAs...what a way to screw up the continuity of AG in the English dub, though. Should've just waited until DP to do the VA switch, IMO.

My favorite song is "You & Me & Pokemon" because it carries the most meaning of all the songs.

"One world! One world... Now and forever! Best friends! Best friends... Loyal and true! One dream! One dream... Put side and side! There's nothing we can't do! One hand! One hand... Helping the other! Each heart! Each heart... Beating as one! We live! We live... Always together! Sharing the same bright sun! You & me & Pokemon!"

This right here is the soul of Pokemon. This stuff is what the anime is truly about. And it is beautiful. (I made y'all grin now, didn't I :))

That brought a smile to my face. That is what the Pokemon anime is about at its core.

My favorites are.

"The Greatest Everyday" in Sinnoh. God I love "Communication!" <3...Dawn's even singing along in the opening. XD0

"This beautiful world. & Together we'll make a promise." This beautiful world was beautiful for a pokemon song, and Together we'll make a promise has extreme bias in that I ADORED movie 9.

"Ice Cream syndrome." I love this Japanese ending...Isn't it FMA Brotherhood's Opening band? I love his voice. XD

"Advanced adventure theme." That BGM that plays during the hoenn saga that's all like "We've got this and we're an awesome team!" I think its the instrumental of another one of my favorite openings in Japanese. I'll get a link to it when I'm not at school.

"Advanced Generation Opening 6" I love this one both in English AND in Japanese. So peppy <3

"Secret Garden and Vacation." Secret Garden is really pretty and vacation is just awesome. XD

Non non non!
//not sure if this is counted as a bump

I only watch Japanese btw. To start, I like almost all the JP opening (except Be An arrow and BW, I find them subpar), but there are a few I like the best

1. High Touch - Favourite Japanese opening song ever. It's a beautiful song sang by a duet, great music. I love the animation as well.
2. Greatest Everyday - Great Opening. Catchy tune, really. It's a nice song that makes me want to re-spam the play button.
3. Spurt! - epic, just pure epic. Love the animation. Though I don't like how in the full version for Ash, he talks, but nonetheless, the only nitpick I had.
4. Ready Go! - Favourite from the original series. I still have childhood memories of listening to the tune when it was airing on TV ~ (the dub for my country uses the Japanese original and translates the word, but keeps the Jap opening)
5. Together / Battle Frontier - Tied for the third. Together isn't very catchy, but I like how the tune goes. Battle Frontier is a good song, though the only real problem I had was that some brains didn't even get to do their epic dance because they weren't revealed, so most of the time we saw black silhouettes dancing crazily.

Japanese Ending (completely DP filled lol)
1. By Your Side - Hikari's Theme - - It's a lovable song and I just love love love it. I also enjoy the BGM version that plays during her contest.
2. Kaze no message - Nothing much said. Catchy tune and nice. I don't like the remix version though.
3. Kimi no mune ni lalala - Touching and good song to end off the (subjectively) best series in Pokemon Anime.
4. Ashita wa Kitto / Docchi ~ Nyo: Ashita wa Kitto is a good song that highlights Piplup's and Pikachu's friendship, though the full version isn't relaly good. Docchi ~ Nyo was hilarious, especially during the part where the Meditite did their whatever thing.
5. Soko ni sora ga aru kara - I decided to throw this one in and have the 4 have two places. Anyways, I use to dislike this ending because it was too sad for my taste (or at least it sounded like so). However, I start to like it lately :)

My favorite english song is Born to be a winner.

My 2 favorite Japanese songs are Hi-Touch and Spurt.

Hi Touch because I am an avid Pearlshipper and its such an awesome song.

Spurt is just amazing.

Let's go to the beach, each.
"Secret Garden and Vacation." Secret Garden is really pretty and vacation is just awesome. XD

Yassss, that Secret Garden song from Movie 5 slayed so hard. I want the movie soundtrack.

I also love Together (the first Japanese DP Opening) even though most people seem to hate it. I just thought it was cute and I loved the DP hype.
 
Ahem. Think back to the first season for a second.

I've discovered I'm hopelessly attracted to anything that remins me of INXS, so from fourth generation my favorites are "I'll Always Remember You" (I like to refer to Kirsten Price as a female Michael Hutchence-dshe did finish one of his songs, after all) and on the Japanese side Kaze no Message (which feels like a super-genki version of Devil Inside/Kick/Tiny Daggers).

What?

I practically like all of the 4Kids ones, with my favourites - mainly for the nostalgia - being:

Unbeatable (specifically the long version)
This Dream
I wanna be a Hero
Master Quest
Advanced Adventure (I don't understand it at all, but the tune is so dang epic, even instrumental)

Other songs that aren't openings I like are Double Trouble, Advanced Adventure as BGM, the Pokéraps and lots of the Wild Music remixes are pretty awesome.

The Bright Star
Wow... This at first seemed like a tough one cause there's soooooo many great OSTs in Pokemon and I'll admit, a lot of them for me are really close and hard to call but...

The one definitive favorite OST from the anime for me is As Long As I Can Hold My Breath from Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea.

That OST is... Oh my Arceus... BEAST! I've even hacked it onto Delfino Plaza on my Brawl. :D
