One thing I've really gotten to like about anime music is that rock/punk seems to still be pretty popular in Japan, whereas it's been virtually entirely replaced by rap/autotuned club music here in the US. I can't understand a lick of the lyrics, but a ton of anime has really catchy and upbeat punk, and as a 90s teen, it brings back fond memories. I'm a (marginal to average) drummer and a lot of the songs aren't too hard to play and a ton of fun.
I'll start by saying Tu Love Ru's season one opener "Forever we can make it" by THYME (also the animation that goes with it in the show is👍)
they're also keeping orchestral and classical music alive, kids filling halls to hear game OSTs.
Row row fight the power, just to annoy you.
"Hey kids, you remember those 8 bit and 16 bit tracks from those games you loved to play 20/30 years ago?
Well here are The Black Mages performing them with a full orchestra, choir, and electric guitars."
