* Rio Hamamoto's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qtMWHRwaMQ "STORM RISING"]], which plays during the initial State of Play reveal trailer and the theme for the Fallen Destiny stage, is an epic track that would best score a GrandFinale (at least to Jin's and Kazuya's arc in particular), this is it.

* [[https://youtu.be/tcm5ptqB0os "Colosseum"]], the theme for Coliseum of Fate, packs the orchestral and choral grandeur you would expect of an arena theme. [[https://youtu.be/5jtDnRLzUaI The climax version]] opens with dramatic chanting, to give you the feel that things are coming to a head.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bdceXMakOU Silently Boisterous]] from Secluded Training Ground, by Ayako Saso, is a musical nod to the first two ''Tekken'' games and it fits Reina like a glove, considering her true parentage.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMINwNyJljc Liberation]], ''8'' 's Main Menu theme serves as the SpiritualAntithesis to ''7'' 's Solitude/Aloneness in more than ways than one. The latter reflected everything literally going to Hell in a handbasket for Heihachi the moment he killed his wife decades ago and what would be his last stand whereas the former represents that there is a spark for hope despite Kazuya nearly accomplishing his task in TakingOverTheWorld.

* The [[https://youtu.be/VvnPKnyKfDU hidden characters theme]] is great to rock out to. Julia's theme in the [=PS1=] version is based on it. Composed by Nobuyoshi Sano.

* [[https://youtu.be/Mqi3mWudD8E Paul's theme]] is a nice rock song that keeps you on your toes with its seemingly discordant rhythms. Composed by Nobuyoshi Sano.

* Three words: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAFzbiHx7-g HALL OF FATE]], it is so epic that it became one of the most listened within ''Dark Resurrection''. Composed by Ryuichi Takada.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMpqt11yPdQ Crimson Sunset]], the theme song for City At Sunset, is a perfect ''Film/{{Blade}}''-esque industrial rock piece for Raven's home stage. Composed by Rio Hamamoto.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUxzHX0aQUE Ground Zero Funk]] is perfect for the Mishimas. Also is a remix of a piece called the "Beatitudes" commonly attributed to Tomaso Albinoni. Composed by Kohta Takahashi.

** Its predecessor, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUolSNPj_T4 Antares]], is also good. So good, in fact, that it was used as the theme for Soul of Devil Jin in ''VideoGame/SoulcaliburV''. Composed by Junichi Nakatsuru, who eventually became the musical director for ''Soulcalibur V''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_upcksAU4FU Two against the darkness]], the console opening movie theme. Even out of context, it's a very rousing track. Composed by Rio Hamamoto and Ryuichi Takada. The impressive thing about this track is how perfectly each musical phrase matches up with almost every scene in the opening movie itself. To break it down a bit: the military-sounding intro accompanies Jin briefing his Mishima Zaibatsu army (including Nina), which ends on a dissonant note as the scene shifts to Miguel carrying his dead sister and screaming in fury. Then the music quiets down to violins as Zafina makes her way to Azazel's temple, and a mournful horn section accompanies Leo laying flowers on their mother's grave. Suddenly the music shifts to heavy metal as Bob fights off bank robbers. The violins are emphasized as Asuka and Lili face each other, transitioning into hard metal riffs as Paul and Bryan are dueling. The imperial-sounding horns then alternate with the metal riffs as we see Kazuya fighting alongside his G Corporation men. Finally, the rousing climax of the soundtrack accompanies Zafina opening the temple and the shock on her face as Azazel awakens and starts to break free from his restraints.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jdQUQjmseM Yodeling in Meadow Hill]] the BGM of Hidden Retreat in ''Tekken 6'' is seen by some as a bit too silly for a game like ''Tekken'', but others think this song is AMAZING. Composed by Keiichi Okabe. In 2019 it serves as the background music of a new alert for LetsPlay/ProtonJon, with guest appearances by Resident Evil characters Albert Wesker (as the presumed source of the song's yodeling) and Chris Redfield, who punches a boulder at Wesker after yelling his name.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsB14OVlcrs Karma]], the theme of Electric Fountain. A fast-paced techno song with OneWomanWail, considered by many to be the defining song of ''6''[='=]s soundtrack. Composed by Akitaka Tohyama.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqqpjx5kPUs G]], the theme of Fallen Colony, actually had three versions, one for the Arcade version, a special 5.1 Surround Sound version mixed specially for the console versions, and the OST version, called the Blast Version. The link has all three of them mixed together, completing the song. Composed by Go Shiina.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRRLfVvp73s Edge of Spring]], for the Mystical Forest stage. Very serene and peaceful. Composed by Keiichi Okabe.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgF-AYiFAvU YUKI]], for Manji Valley. Composed by Yoshihito Yano. The koto and strings go well together in this imperial-sounding techno piece.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPxUC8-uOFU Only One Fight]], for Noh Theater. Composed by Ayako Saso. The guitar at the intro may lead us to believe that it will be an epic rock piece, only for Japanese percussions to roll and mix it with some traditional beats.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EV7Psonm_8 Tunnel Disaster]], for the tunnel disaster. Composed by Rio Hamamoto. EpicRocking in a burning tunnel fight at its finest.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsuD0aIBPEI Fist Festival]], for Fiesta del Tomate, the 2nd secret stage. Just as catchy as Hidden Retreat's theme. Composed by Shinji Hosoe.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gyYp828_LE Blowin' Up the Enemy]], for Gargoyle's Perch. A perfect theme befitting Jin's turn to villainy. Composed by Kazuhiro Nakamura.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWyGWXmcoU0 Sacred dark]], the theme for Azazel's Chamber and the main antagonist, Azazel. Composed by Keiichi Okabe. Dark and ominous, it really makes you want to utter OhCrap when you face the Rectifier himself.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-50YC2G-Zc Midtown Roars]], for Lightning Storm. A perfect theme for a BattleInTheRain stage. Composed by Ryuichi Takada.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FYYMJDvJ_E Battle Cry]], the Online Battle Lobby theme. Hypnotic and soothing. Composed by Taku Inoue.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm1KABqD2YQ Sakura Schoolyard - After School Mix]] updates ''Tekken Tag Tournament'''s School stage and theme. Composed by Nobuyoshi Sano.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyCVkNIox84 Jin Kazama - Far East Mix]] is a revision on Jin Kazama's ''Tekken 3'' stage and theme. Composed by Keiichi Okabe.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKZuhGbbKDM Fantastic Theater]], the theme for the DLC stage Odeum of Illusion. An awesome (and insanely catchy) fusion of jazz/swing and Tekken-style techno. Composed by Keiichi Okabe and Keigo Hoashi.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbOSwEfcM2M The Big One]], the theme for the DLC stage Moai Excavation. The OST version (the one linked) is called the "Quiet Strings Mix", and adds some violin sections that are not heard in the game version, which is called the "Corpse Kicker Mix". Composed by Yuu Miyake.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBIsq6QL7As Your Sunset]], the soothing and nostalgia-inducing customization theme. Yes, even the ''customization theme'' is outstanding. Composed by Taku Inoue.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAOa4YwEYRk Tekstep Fountain]], the Fontani di Trevi stage theme. When the Tekken composers decide to do {{Dubstep}}, they don't mess around - they make it AWESOME. Composed by Akitaka Tohyama.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3bqZ1GNhWM Abyss of Time]], the Indonesia stage where a Wayang Kulit ("shadow puppet") stage is performed in the background. Abyss of Time is often compared to Tekken 6's Karma/Electric Fountain due to similar tunes, but what sells the song is the Indonesian woman's vocals. Composed by Akitaka Tohyama, who -- not coincidentally -- also composed the tracks "Karma" and "Hacked" from the ''Tekken 6'' soundtrack, both of which closely resemble this track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiuv7SziJc Plucking Tulips]], the Netherlands stage theme, is just as catchy, having become an iconic tune rather quickly in the fandom, with its {{trance}} melodies quickly bringing to mind the country's bustling EDM scene and producers like Music/{{Tiesto}} and Music/ArminVanBuuren. Fun Fact: the game version, which has a shorter intro, is called "Plucking flower field". Composed by Akitaka Tohyama.

* The Wii U version adds, as one of the Tekken Ball tracks, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO-fuWEKVbM High School Love]]. It's an intentionally cheesy song, and an awesome and hilarious departure from the rest of the music in the game. Composed by Go Shiina.
* There are also three new remixes of Snow Castle added to the Wii U version, called the Dead Person remixes. Each one incorporates elements of certain themes affiliated with the character they represent: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ21G5CgOfk Devil Jin]] (Antares + Snow Castle), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b1WrMrJi8w Jinpachi]] (Gold Rush + Tiamat + Conclusion + The Finalizer), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BlZ4qQAMs0 Ganryu]] (Quiet Interim Report + Formless Like Water + Estrada da Estrela). Composed and remixed by Go Shiina.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVACps_onSo "My Last Stand"]], the game's intro theme, essentially serves as the SpiritualSuccessor to Heat Haze Shadow from ''7'', and to a degree, Sparking from ''5''. Mixing together the high-intensity techno beats from the former and the simple yet energetic lyrics from the latter, this serves as the ImageSong for Jin's HeelFaceTurn, ushering in the return of the series' main protagonist after his dreaded turn to villainy to become ''the'' symbol of hope that will stand up against his father's onslaught. Fittingly enough, this plays during the final phase of the battle between Jin and Kazuya in the story mode. Composed by Yusuke "mifumei" Yamauchi, featuring vocals by Robbie Wyckoff.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qtMWHRwaMQ "STORM RISING"]], which plays during the initial State of Play reveal trailer and the theme for the Fallen Destiny stage, is an epic track that would best score a GrandFinale (at least to Jin's and Kazuya's arc in particular), this is it. Composed by Rio Hamamoto.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CQAVp3crnE "The Decisive Blow"]], the theme for this game's Arena stage, continues the series' legacy of high-energy techno with a fast-paced track that serves as the backdrop for all of the veteran character reveals. Composed by Hiroshi Okubo.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NzRIIQs_l8 "Twilight Party Cruise"]] from Celebration on the Seine is a jazzy-trance number that is much like the super-spy that calls this his home stage: classy and refined with a smooth saxophone backing up the relaxed yet still intense techno beats as the fighters battle while indulging in the SceneryPorn that is the stage itself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uel2rBbJgXI The climax variant]] places a stronger emphasis on the saxophone, which utterly dominates the majority of the song with a wickedly cultured solo. Composed by Yusuke "mifumei" Yamauchi.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_0zAC01oXA Volcanic Bomb]] from Into The Stratosphere is what happens when you mix psytrance with an EtherealChoir, suitably setting the stage for fighting on a meteor falling through the atmosphere. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJTRs2RxiCU The climax version]] changes to an upbeat Drum and Bass song that emphasizes how close you are to victory as the FrictionBurn adds in burning molten rock to the stage, setting up an epic climax for what is the final descent back to Earth. Composed by Akitaka "AJURIKA" Tohyama.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bdceXMakOU Silently Boisterous]] from Secluded Training Ground is a musical nod to the first two ''Tekken'' games and it fits Reina like a glove, considering her true parentage. Composed by Ayako Saso.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj5EbTczjFM Golden Meadow]], the theme of Ortiz Farm, is effectively the sequel to "Yodeling in Meadow Hill" except with less yodeling and more festive Peruvian singing. As the theme of Azucena, it's fittingly hyperactive and peppy for the Coffee Queen. Composed by Shugo Nomura, featuring vocals by Sergio Aucca Surco.

* "[[https://youtu.be./tQapYtK_xrA Be Stylish]]" continues the series tradition of having excellent character customization tunes, being a chill lofi jazz track that's perfect for decking out your fighters.

* [[https://youtu.be/xlEKbSRvqGo The character select theme]] lets you know that things have taken a turn for the worse since the first game. If that doesn't suit you, then chances are that the more lively [[https://youtu.be/q-W7MTjiYUs arranged version]] used for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation port will.
