8	Examples of SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic in anime. It should be noted that a lot of songs in anime are regular [[JapanesePopMusic J-Pop]] songs that just appear in anime and are not exclusive to it. Still awesome, though.

202	[[folder:Masaaki Endoh]]
203	Not to be confused with [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars Masaki Andoh]], this member of Music/JAMProject is good enough to stand on his own two feet.
204	* And to kick things off... "[[https://youtu.be/ywkt-ie_00A GA-GA-GA GA-GA-GA]] Anime/GaoGaiGar! [[https://youtu.be/LOof7h0flqk GA-GA-GA GAGAGAGA]] Anime/GaoGaiGar!"
205	** Also from the same series: [[https://youtu.be/CMjpMGd2vMU "Power of Desire"]].
206	* Aquarion OP, Endoh style! Now with SRWZ goodness! "[[https://youtu.be/lOjBShNYMnQ Sousei no Aquarion, Masaki Endoh ver.]]"
207	* From ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative'': [[https://youtu.be/qiTfpxxqI2g "Carry On"]]
208	** From the side story ''The Day After'': [[https://youtu.be/ybjjK1GWsq4 "The Song of Heavenbound Lights"]]
209	* [[https://youtu.be/uWJwmtk0f44 "Fellows"]] (''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'')
210	* Endoh is capable, on his own, of making ALREADY SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic even more awesome. Case and point: [[https://youtu.be/oGxmir-P__4 "God Knows..."]].
211	** [[https://youtu.be/3-yuO8EsrH0 "Ai wo Torimodose"]] (Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar}
212	** [[https://youtu.be/l3YQsB8ALEE "Arashi no Nakade Kagayaute"]] (Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam )

214	** [[https://youtu.be/JKEowajfq4s "Cha-La Head Cha-La"]] (''Anime/DragonBallZ'')
215	** [[https://youtu.be/_3rIb-AqK-A "Eternal Blaze"]] (''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'')
216	*** And for bonus points: [[https://youtu.be/epNQAYjlik0 a live duet of Eternal Blaze]] with Creator/NanaMizuki herself!
217	** [[https://youtu.be/9ix8Vy3mEHk "Go Go Power Rangers"]] (We shit you not!)
218	** [[https://youtu.be/FNhRljqvXL0 "Sorairo Days"]] (''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'')
219	** [[https://youtu.be/WvI554LtFfA "Asu e no Brilliant Road"]] (''Uchuu no Stellvia'')
220	** [[https://youtu.be/6ssBtJ4Jx7c "Uninstall"]] (''Bokurano'')
221	** [[https://youtu.be/9EFNK7xghoI "Muv-Luv"]] (OP of the [[Franchise/MuvLuv eponymous]] VisualNovel)
222	** [[https://youtu.be/VYIJsqRjNqU Tori no Uta]] (''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'')
223	** [[https://youtu.be/CZ4dhRIR-9o "Resolution"]] ''([[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]])''
224	** [[https://youtu.be/S6UCRWpZxDA "Yuzurenai Negai"]] (''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'')
225	** You know how we said the only time you'd ever hear a Music/JAMProject member sing a Music/YokoKanno composed song was ''Angel Voice''? [[https://youtu.be/uOEiF1ctSyQ We]] [[https://youtu.be/AUIdt6Kr7uI lied]].
226	*** He also sings [[https://youtu.be/X7R2Vl_hcCA "Live from Baghdad"]] from the ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' soundtrack.
227	** [[https://youtu.be/AhtVuj3PPCI "Kimi ga Tame"]] (''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'')
228	** [[https://youtu.be/cuctKyHTDss "Ultraman Dyna"]]
229	** [[https://youtu.be/R4hq7qWzhr4 "Sketch Switch"]] (''Manga/HidamariSketch''), a ska-inspired cover that puts the [[TestosteronePoisoning MANLY]] in a Moe opening theme.
230	* Endoh Masaaki also did a triple-turned-''quadruple'' crown for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'''s [[https://youtu.be/t35fChImXDc Op4 "Believe in Nexus"]], [[https://youtu.be/tGwMPHAKx-0 "Op5 Road to Tomorrow ~Going my Way~"]], and what may count as Yusei's true character song [[https://youtu.be/Enj2qRG0UGE "Clear Mind"]], before adding a final jewel to the set at the end of the series with the soul-touchingly beautiful [[https://youtu.be/BitTPfkCsXw "Melody of Promises"]].
231	[[/folder]]
232
233	[[folder:Kenji Kawai]]
234	* [[https://youtu.be/dtUU9WCH8zE "Making of a Cyborg"]], the main theme of the classic ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' film.
235	** Which is turned into a {{leitmotif}} with the addition of [[https://youtu.be/WB-ik-Bpl0c "Ghost City"]] (which plays during the montage halfway through the film) and [[https://youtu.be/wtkTFnrMI9U "Reincarnation"]] (during the ending credits).
236	** [[https://youtu.be/swmWZGgt4vk Nightstalker"]]
237	** [[https://youtu.be/9ZFhke6HoYQ "Floating Museum"]], played during the climax of the film for luscious SoundtrackDissonance.
238	** From the second film, ''Ghost in the Shell: Innocence'', comes [[https://youtu.be/QVDt3wBj7VQ "The Ballade of Puppets: The Ghost Awaits in the World Beyond"]], a work of genius that contrasts the ass-kicking finale so perfectly it elevates the climax to what can only be described as a spiritual experience.
239	*** Kawai's interpretation of [[https://youtu.be/uaAPg0YqK1s "Follow Me"]] is also exquisite.
240	*** Also from the second film are [[https://youtu.be/5bNX7w_XY0g "The Ballade of Puppets: Flowers Grieve and Fall"]], [[https://youtu.be/Ownw_fQckLo "River of Crystals"]], [[https://youtu.be/RLxcn-rgDS8 "The Ballade of Puppets: In a New World, Gods Will Descend"]], and [[https://youtu.be/DxMN4D0tNec "The Doll House I"]] and [[https://youtu.be/cjDtTWixOas "II"]].
241	* The soundtrack for the "live action manga" ''Avalon''. [[https://youtu.be/ktP4lg7gQY8 Log Off]] and [[https://youtu.be/MWFWuUd2kYY Log In]] are the bookend songs of the movie that frame the rest of the soundtrack nicely, most notably [[https://youtu.be/6FLrh7wMoTA Voyage to AVALON]].
242	* His work on the ''Franchise/{{Patlabor}}'' movies count as well. Notably the ending to ''Patlabor the Movie'' [[https://youtu.be/uNZ0TLBsiOc (Into the Morning Sunshine)]] highlighting the upbeat "success" of stopping a potential robotic catastrophe, and the track [[https://youtu.be/J-hw0nGiwCM Wyvern]] to ''Patlabor the Movie 2'', played during the more tense moments of the film, namely the [[https://youtu.be/tTHeQu3S98E "Kill Wyvern"]] and the "AH-88 attack sequence on Tokyo" scenes from the movie.
243	* His score for the ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' anime brings us [[https://youtu.be/LSQk0gNjY54 "Night of Fate"]], [[https://youtu.be/1c6GXqzejWk "Lonesome Pilgrimage"]], [[https://youtu.be/Mzs1e2_KZUY "Master"]], [[https://youtu.be/12jtm4rWpEM "Quirk of Fate"]], [[https://youtu.be/T9hPX33kyxg "Holy Grail"]], [[https://youtu.be/N5K0uGeb8Eg "Hereditary Seal"]], [[https://youtu.be/uU2Poqawtu8 "The King of Heroes"]], [[https://youtu.be/ctS7RTc_jck "Winter Fairy"]], [[https://youtu.be/Npity6JQCQY "Bloody Rider"]], [[https://youtu.be/7Fkj2YrL00g "Contract"]], [[https://youtu.be/4i8gsre2k9Q "Bonds"]], [[https://youtu.be/ya-H_eqj6GA "Roar of the World"]], [[https://youtu.be/F-E40z1TzsI "La Sola"]], and [[https://youtu.be/XDDr_PHm0oY "Dash of the Rival Chiefs"]].
244	** There's also his absolutely badass remixes of the two iconic staples from the VisualNovel: [[https://youtu.be/FW7kkggl98g "Emiya -Kenji Kawai ver.-"]] and [[https://youtu.be/WAdslGZ06u4 "Sword of Promised Victory -Kenji Kawai ver.-"]].
245	** The two [=OPs=], [[https://youtu.be/sKnfgbtudqI "disillusion"]] and [[https://youtu.be/D_Zzqk-yh5M "Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni"]], also qualify.
246	*** Sachi Tainaka may as well get a section just for these songs. This [[https://youtu.be/CoO-3507m1s Symphonic Arrangement]] of the anime's two opening themes from her CD deserves some consideration, too. Another version called [[https://youtu.be/y2e4AhYOhaU "disillusion -2010-"]] is arranged for the ''Fate/Stay Night'' TV Reproduction {{OVA}}s.
247	** From the ''Unlimited Blade Works'' movie: [[https://youtu.be/3PSOo2qFdtU "Imitation"]], which perfectly captures [[spoiler: Shirou's defense of his ideals against Archer, his future self, and Archer's faith being renewed]].
248	*** Also from ''Unlimited Blade Works'', the thunderous [[https://youtu.be/Kie4MroXwTc "Binding Realms"]].
249	*** Thought Saber's theme [[https://youtu.be/LSQk0gNjY54 "Night of Fate"]] couldn't get more epic? [[https://youtu.be/9eZekO4RRUk Think again]].
250	*** More on the "D'awww..." side of things: [[https://youtu.be/ifrRYAyca8E "Eternity ~last episode~"]], which plays [[spoiler: when Archer finally bids goodbye]].
251	* And of course, the ''Manga/DeathNote'' live action movies. [[https://youtu.be/p5GmAoG0FC0 Hot damn.]]
252	* The OP of the ''[[https://youtu.be/BHAQxjk3CIw Vampire Princess Miyu]]'' OAV series. As well as [[https://youtu.be/pjSMJL7dssE Now comes the conclusion]], from the third OAV. [[TearJerker Heartbreakingly]] [[TrueArtIsAngsty beautiful]].
253	* ''Literature/MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'' and this song, [[https://youtu.be/bK9cSX-peE4 "Nahji no Uta"]]. A perfect match for the anime's SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment\|s}}.
254	** Pretty much all of Moribito's soundtrack is so spectacular. [[https://youtu.be/OqKYmiZz8AU "Omoi Haruka"]] makes you happy to be alive.
255	* Pretty much the entirety of the score from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00''. Notable tracks of awesomeness can be found [[AwesomeMusic/{{Gundam}} here]].
256	* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': The anime [=OSTs=] were made by him and feature some of the scariest tracks in anime.
257	** And [[https://youtu.be/hSr_60myM9o "Oshin"]]. If there's a more terrifying theme that could be used in [[{{Fingore}} that scene...]]
258	** Then for pure musical awesome: [[https://youtu.be/pLKGw9TdD8Q "Ran"]] and [[https://youtu.be/UuofG8a7EEk "Main Theme"]].
259	* ''Anime/TheSkyCrawlers'':
260	** The appropriately named [[https://youtu.be/C_Q9ZVPTaTk "Adler Tag"]] is a highlight of his work from that movie, accompanying a gradual buildup of warplanes for a massive [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adlertag Battle of Britain-style]] raid.
261	** To say nothing of the [[https://youtu.be/voWeZ-QEgqQ gorgeous main theme]].
262	** [[https://youtu.be/4ywQJcOOUi0 "Krakow"]], played during the team's visit to the eponymous city.
