* The season one finale's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drFbSfxNDFE EVER BLUE]] is a serene [[ThePowerOfFriendship ode to friendship]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilP3LRob-28 Future Fish]] is ten kinds of catchy.
** This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NXvXjg6U90 fanmade English version]] nails it too.
** [[https://youtu.be/JEeciBY-7Jo Each]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnu-RL5athM member]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFzbL6ZdFcE of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QONK8T9Mgjo STYLE]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cak96iKl6Yk FIVE]] performs a solo version!
* Akin to EVER BLUE, the Eternal Summer finale brought us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mlYgNqKINo Clear Blue Departure]], which is all about cherishing the time spent with your friends and always remaining connected to them - perfect for an ED sequence involving most of the main characters graduating from high school.

* ''Take Your Marks'' gives us the excited [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCEpcPJtR7s Free-Style Spirit]].

* [[https://youtu.be/imDUrPzQjnY Over The Dream]] is Rin's IAmSong, and the chorus could be in a shonen anime theme song. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzV3Cxz-Eoc Gratefully,]] by contrast, is a sweet thanks to his teammates for being TrueCompanions.

* Rei's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ga3twdllgMc Coming Soooon!!]] is [[{{Adorkable}} hilarious]] yet catchy.
* [[https://youtu.be/ck1zsTwjgPs Asu e no Last Race]], one of Sousuke's only two character songs and probably the saddest of any ''Free!'' songs. If Creator/YoshimasaHosoya's beautiful vocals don’t make you cry, the lyrics (in the comment by [=JoJiJoJo=]) will. His other, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBI218YWRCU "Just Wanna Know"]] is less dramatic but just as much of a TearJerker. In both, his voice breaks at the final pre-chorus.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1WRt3fWKXo NEO BLUE BREATHING]], featuring Makoto, Haruka, and Rin, is badass yet emotionally cathartic.

* From Rin's first appearance in ISC (season 1), we have the badass [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klc25WDQGWQ "Bring On Fuzz"]] by Reinhold Hoffmann. Early on in ES, it was heard again... this time for one of [[ShipTease Sousuke's]] [[HoYay scenes.]] For the ES addition it seems to have been renamed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1riEEPNs348 "Aggressive Groove"]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2M--QZ6jZM Melody of Ever Blue]] from the climactic race of ''Iwatobi Swim Club'' is an upbeat, hopeful, instrumental arrangement of the aforementioned EVER BLUE.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCBt5vaDU5M Beginning Beat]] from Eternal Summer is a good track to listen to for getting pumped.
* From the ''Dive to the Future'' OST, [[https://youtu.be/IaDwF8xWhO0 "Rhythm of New Sensation"]], an upbeat electronic remix of the relaxed soundtrack staple [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CITVSOqWLH4 "Rhythm of Port Town"]].

* [[https://youtu.be/3oqK7nY9m0k Gold Evolution]], the season 3 ED is epic. Especially with [[https://youtu.be/SHcWW60Hidw the characters performing on stage]] [[SharpDressedMan all suited up]].

* Rin and Haru's duet [[https://youtu.be/QgjN1ndPXSo REAL WAVE]] is catchy and pumped-up regardless of [[FoeYay how you]] [[FriendlyRival interpret it]].

* The OP [[http://soundcloud.com/lightninghalos/rage-on "Rage On"]] and ED [[http://soundcloud.com/kimuravl/splash-free "Splash Free"]] are magnificent.
