5	''Anime/KillLaKill'', coming from the same creators as ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', contains a praise-worthy soundtrack, with no less than four credits songs and a score composed by Music/HiroyukiSawano, [[AwesomeMusic/AttackOnTitan fresh off from his astounding work]] on 2013's ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''.
6	----
7	* The opening credits for Episodes 1-15 use Aoi Eir's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k62_N6O2esw "Sirius"]], while the ending credits use Miku Sawai's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkkK7IakkbI "Gomen ne, Iiko ja Irarenai"]] [[note]](ごめんね、いいコじゃいられない。?, "Sorry, I'm Done Being a Good Kid")[[/note]].
8	* Episode 16 and onwards uses [=GARNiDELiA=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K42ED-7PWAo "ambiguous"]] as its opening credits, while [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaN3y7f_VoI "Shin Sekai Koukyougaku"]] [[note]]新世界交響楽 New World Symphony[[/note]] by Sayonara Ponytail is used as the ending credits.
9	* Aoi Eir's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ4i199cQ-4 "Sanbika"]] is also used as an insert song accompanying the climatic events in Episodes 3 and 23.
10	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw1tagE88v4 "Before My Body Is Dry"]], a dynamic rock ballad which features lyrics that explicitly state [[TheHero Ryuko]] and Senketsu's motivations. It's hard to not cheer for her as this track plays while [[ThemeMusicPowerUp she puts on]] [[EmpathicWeapon Senketsu]] [[Awesome/KillLaKill to kick some serious ass]].
11	--> '''''DON'T LOSE YOUR WAYYYYYYYYY!!!'''''
12	** So awesome, it even spawned a minor [[MemeticMutation Youtube meme]] of "[[Memes/KillLaKill Don't Lose Your Way]] [[Memes/StreetFighter Goes With Everything]]."
13	** The second soundtrack also adds [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/before-my-body-is-dry-karaoke a karaoke version]] for those interested.
14	** The Rearrange & Remix soundtrack gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXeCtiH3sDw "Before my body is dry (:[nZk] ver.)"]].
15	* [[https://soundcloud.com/excelntafr0/kiryuu-ga-kill "KiryuG@kiLL"]], [[{{Ubermensch}} Satsuki Kiryuin]]'s {{Leitmotif}}; an overbearing, militaristic piece which captures the grandeur of her authority.
16	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3V7__7-jLM "goriLLAjaL"]], which can be divided into two halves:
17	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpuvajowCdg The first half]] is used as [[PrinciplesZealot Ira Gamagoori]]'s {{Leitmotif}}, featuring angry guitars, pounding percussion, panic-inducing synth riffs, and (oddly) Arabic-sounding wailing.
18	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsOrO502lnM The second half]] serves as [[ElegantGothicLolita Nonon Jakuzure]]'s. Appropriately enough for a drum major, it features military drums and brass fanfares.
19	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rq240iR4oCE "InuKa3L"]]; just like the previous example, it can be divided into two distinct parts:
20	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGqMPFmPWZ8 The first part]] serves as [[EvilGenius Houka Inumuta]]'s {{Leitmotif}}, featuring rather cold, electronic sounds. Inexplicably enough, the most interesting part, which features square-dancing calls, plays whenever [[SexyMentor Aikuro]] [[TheTease starts stripping around Ryuko...]]
21	---> '''[[MemeticMutation PING PONG CIRCULATE, PING PONG CIRCULATE!]]'''
22	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHmijM0xslI The second half]] forms [[BloodKnight Uzu Sanageyama]]'s {{Leitmotif}}, being a lively, fast-paced piece with an Oriental feel, fitting in well with his KendoTeamCaptain theme.
23	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ampmOGuA7UI "Suck your blood"]], [[EmpathicWeapon Senketsu]]'s own {{Leitmotif}}, whose lyrics refer to skimpy clothes, drinking blood, and "becoming one" to achieve greater power. Also plays when Aikuro [[LetsGetDangerous gets serious]].
24	** For another version of the song, listen to its remix, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-Y9mBoAzi4 "Suck your blood (:[nZk] ver.)"]].
25	* [[https://soundcloud.com/kill-la-kill-ost/blumenkranz "Blumenkranz"]] (i.e. [[BilingualBonus "Floral Wreath"]]), [[BigBad Ragyo Kiryuin]]'s grandiose {{Leitmotif}}; a soaring, powerful song, at times eerily soft, it's a perfect match for [[SilkHidingSteel Ragyo's personality]]. Then there's the [[OminousLatinChanting ominous German chanting]] and lyrics calling the world cruel, then asking why the listener would cry over the singer throwing away dead flowers, [[spoiler:which probably has something to do with Ragyo abandoning Ryuko as an infant.]]
26	--> [[GratuitousGerman "Diese Welt ist grausam, es ist traurig aber wahr."]]
27	--> [[CrapsackWorld "This world is cruel, it's sad but true."]]
28	** On the Rearrange and Remix soundtrack, we have [[https://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/blumenkranz-nzk-ver "Blumenkranz (:[nZk] ver.)"]]. The softer arrangement loses none of the original's driving power; it's arguably eerier for the dissonance.
29	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mEXvNuoKIA "KillaKiLL"]], with the first half blaring whenever the [[BadassCrew Elite Four]] show off their badassery. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zAMJXZnJoY The second half]] is used as [[CuteAndPsycho Nui Harime]]'s own {{Leitmotif}}, comprising of creepy chimes and oppressive beats to [[SoundtrackDissonance underline]] her [[DissonantSerenity unsettling presence]].
30	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyePOjwZa2k "KiLLLakiLL"]], an orchestral arrange of "Before My Body is Dry". If Ryuko's not kicking ass with her usual {{Leitmotif}}, it's with this instead. The second half also plays whenever [[LaResistance Tsumugu]]'s around.
31	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hN3NzYCCSU "KiryuwaKiLL"]], an action-oriented variation of Satsuki's {{Leitmotif}}; usually used when she gets serious in the middle of a fight.
32	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGGY6R4AtH0 "Light Your Heart Up"]] (sung by Aimee Blackschleger), Mako's often forgotten {{Leitmotif}}, [[PseudoRomanticFriendship which is about how much she enjoys being Ryuko's friend]].
33	** There's also the rearrangement, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YS9c2_-BTBs "Light your heart up (:[nZk] ver.)"]] for your listening pleasure.
34	* "[=HilllalilL=]♪" the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjwZgVwFZ2A Mankanshokus']] recurring {{leitmotif}}, is among the show's more humorous tunes.
35	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSopu4EecMo "k1llwaiLL"]], especially the ''chorus'' that picks up during the middle of some of [[Awesome/KillLaKill the most dramatic moments in the series]].
36	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK-gFQwGWwo "I want to know"]], a sad theme that plays when Ryuko [[spoiler:parts ways with the rest of her friends and [[LaResistance Nudist Beach]], not wanting to have anything more to do with them after finding out [[IAmAMonster she's not really human]].]] And later in the same episode when [[spoiler: she gets [[MindRape brainwashed]] by Ragyo, and in the next episode when Mako and Senketsu try to rescue her from said brainwashing]].
37	* [[https://soundcloud.com/dollarsfansub/kill7lakill "KILL7lakill"]], [[LaResistance Nudist Beach]]'s {{Leitmotif}}.
38	* The second soundtrack starts with [[https://soundcloud.com/tsurithelemon/1a?in=tsurithelemon/sets/kill-la-kill-vol-2 "Gekiban Tokka Gata 1boshi Gokuseifuku"]], combining the best parts of "Before My Body is Dry" and its instrumental remix. Notably, the vocals are sung simultaneously by the female and male singers, nicely emphasizing [[TrueCompanions Ryuko's and Senketsu's bond]].
39	* [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/rhythm-kyouka-gata-2boshi-goku "Rhythm Kyouka Gata 2boshi Gokuseifuku"]], a galvanised version of Nui Harime's {{leitmotif}}, adding guitars to the mix. The second half serves as [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Kaneo]] [[MoneyFetish Takarada]]'s own theme.
40	* [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/nichijou-gekijou-gata-3boshi-g "Nichijou Gekijou Gata 3boshi Gokuseifuku"]], Mako's infamous {{leitmotif}} when engaging into [[HamToHamCombat heated discussions]][=/=][[ChewbaccaDefense monologues]].
41	* [[http://soundcloud.com/tsurithelemon/naming-sense-0?in=tsurithelemon/sets/kill-la-kill-vol-2 "Naming Sense 0 Gata 5boshi Gokuseifuku"]], a slower remix of "[=KillaKiLL=]" that is pretty much the [[{{Leitmotif}} musical cue]] for the [[BadassCrew Elite Four]] to [[Awesome/KillLaKill start kicking ludicrous amounts of ass]]. Then comes the second half, which marks the moment [[spoiler:they activate their Goku uniforms' final form]]. It's also a slowed down version of "[=KILL7lakill=]", and is played when [[spoiler: Ryuko takes off Junketsu.]]
42	* [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/tsuika-hacchuu-gata-6boshi-gok?in=zenko_kill-la-kill/sets/kill-la-kill-ost2 "Tsuika Hacchuu Gata 6boshi Gokuseifuku"]], which nicely goes with the WhamEpisode in which [[spoiler:Satsuki stabs Ragyo in the back and reveals her true motives as a GoodAllAlong RebelLeader]]. [[note]]The second half bears a great resemblance to ''Manga/AttackOnTitan''[='=]s fourth track from the second OST.[[/note]]
43	* The first half of [[http://soundcloud.com/tsurithelemon/mt-hensou?in=tsurithelemon/sets/kill-la-kill-vol-2 "MT Hensou Gata 8boshi Gokuseifuku"]] is a beautiful, slowed-down remix of "[=KiLLLakiLL=]" (which is already a remix of "Before My Body Is Dry") that plays during [[spoiler:[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Ryuko's and Satsuki's reconciliation and finally teaming up to save the world]]]], while the second half plays during the heart-wrenching scene of Mako [[IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight desperately]] [[CooldownHug trying]] to bring [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Berserk!Ryuuko]] to her senses.
44	* [[http://soundcloud.com/tsurithelemon/tabun-lastboss?in=tsurithelemon/sets/kill-la-kill-vol-2 "Tabun LASTBOSS Gata 9boshi Gokuseifuku"]], [[spoiler:Ragyo's battle theme when fighting Ryuko and Satsuki, as well as the theme that plays when Satsuki dons Senketsu to fight the [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed Ryuko]].]]
45	* [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/tsuika-saishuuroku-gata-11bosh?in=zenko_kill-la-kill/sets/kill-la-kill-ost2 "Tsuika Saishuuroku Gata 11boshi Gokuseifuku"]], the creepy theme that plays whenever [[spoiler:the COVERS, along with Ragyo's AssimilationPlot for that matter, make their dreaded appearance in the last part of the story]].
46	* [[http://soundcloud.com/zenko_kill-la-kill/juuyoubutsu-hakkou-kyouchou-ga?in=zenko_kill-la-kill/sets/kill-la-kill-ost2 "Juuyoubutsu Hakkou Kyouchou Gata 12boshi Gokuseifuku"]], [[LaResistance Nudist Beach]]'s own kickass {{leitmotif}}, used to dramatic effect when [[spoiler: the ''[[CoolShip S.S. Naked Sun]]'' sets sail towards Honnouji Academy.]]
47	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NljboQhNX0 "Till I Die"]] and its remix, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTdYQITJLxQ "Till I Die (:[nZk] ver.)"]] (sung by CASG). This song was used to great effect in the lead up montage to the graduation ceremony of Episode 25.
48	* Who can forget Nonon's amazing classical musical fighting? [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVvtZ3EBAE1tCc6tI0nkDLNfuOi40gCOU Youtube Playlist here]] that someone else has put together in order of their appearance in the show.
