Awesome Music / The World Ends with You

Highly acclaimed and widely considered to be one of the Nintendo DS' most impressive soundtracks (which just increases more and more as time passes on), The World Ends With You has quite the variety of eclectic tunes to spare. Ranging from rock to j-pop, techno, rap, hip-hop, jazz, nu-metal, and more, this game just about has it all.

• "It's So Wonderful", the dark, dissonant Theme Tune for the game.
• Rush Hour, Kariya and Uzuki's Leitmotif, an energetic piece with an addictive bass and drum beat to help really make it stand out.
• "Twister", the game's main theme song. Granted, while the lyrics don't make much sense at first glance, the fast paced vocals, along with its robotic tinge, make it quite catchy.
• "Three Minutes Clapping", a track that helps build up some of the most intense scenes in the game.
• "Detonation" is another example of good rap in TWEWY. "Game Over" as well.
• "Give Me All Your Love", which despite its rather... risqué lyrics, is incredibly fun to fight to.
• "Deja Vu", a poppy, upbeat earworm that, no matter what you try, simply won't leave your head. "Where did we meet before just like this..."
• "Make or Break", a trancelike, hypnotic, battle track that was unfortunately cut of the intial DS western release that fortunately got added back in Solo Remix for players to enjoy.
• The Japanese version of "Twister", which plays in the boss fight against Higashizawa.
• "Psychedelic" and "NOISY NOISE", the former of which isn't even in the game—apparently Ishimoto found it so awesome he decided to put in on the soundtrack CD.
• "Hybrid" and "Someday", two incredibly rocking tracks that won't fail to get you pumped up for a fight.
• "Amnesia", a melancholic track that plays in some of the game's biggest Tearjerker moments. The Final Remix version might be even MORE emotional.
• "Fighting For Freedom", "O-Parts", "Transformation", "Long Dream", and "Calling" are all incredibly awesome as well, helping make Shibuya feel more alive.
• “Twister: Gang Mix” is a rapid-fire, energetic as hell rap track that, when it plays, won’t fail to hype the player up for any random battle that comes their way.
• Kitaniji's Leitmotif "Satisfy", which helps set up a dark air around him every time he comes in the scene.
• "The One Star" certainly rocks out.
• "Emptiness And" is incredibly intense.
• Beat's CMOA plot twist has an equally awesome music twist. Just after he betrays the Reapers to save Neku and they escape to the station, SHIBUYA plays for the first time and it's incredible.
• The Final Boss Remix of "Twister", which plays in the final battle against Draco Cantus. With snippets of Calling, Hybrid, and Ooparts mixed in, needless to say, it helps provide one heck of a memorable experience.
• The DS version's ending theme, Lullaby for You by JYONGRI is an incredible Tearjerker example of this, both in English and Japanese..
• The Solo Remix has a new staffroll theme, "Runaway," and it sounds beautiful.
• A lot of the remixes in the official Subarashiki Konosekai + The World Ends With You album are also incredibly awesome, such as "Calling 1960s", which takes the already addictive "Calling" and makes it even more of an earworm.
• "Give Me All Your Love (All My Love)", which adds another whole layer of acoustic goodness to make it insanely catchy.
• "Long Dream 1980s". The computerized vocals combined with the synthesized take really help to make the whole track come together well.
• "Give Me A Chance (Ooparts)" takes a whimsical approach with acoustic guitars and repetitive synth sections to make it unexpectedly awesome.
• "Owari Hajimari" is an incredibly fun and upbeat tune with lyrics, while strange, won't fail to make you smile.
• "Make or Break (Black Box)" gives the original a more electronical feel that makes it incredibly pleasing to the ears.
• "Deja Vu (Discoteque)" adds disco, of all things, to give it an incredibly funky beat.
• "New Born (Hybrid)" is a much more subdued and ear pleasingly acoustic remix of the original that plays in some of the more emotional scenes in the game.
• "Someday (Unplugged)" is also quite well done, setting the Japanese vocals against acoustic guitars and subdued drums that helps to give it a much more lighter feel than the original.
• "Game Over (Busy, Dizzy, and Lazy)" adds more extra instrumentals, making for an incredibly surreal experience.
• "Transformation (Transformed)", an epic remix of "Transformation" that plays in the boss fight against Taboo Sho in Solo Remix.
• "Twister (That Power Is Yet Unknown)" is an insanely epic Boss Remix metal version of "Twister" that plays in the boss battle against Anguis Cantus in Solo Remix.
• The Kingdom Mixes for "Twister", "Calling", and "SOMEDAY" show up in the Solo Remix, finally averting Long Song, Short Scene.
• Beat's boss fight theme "Tatakai" in Solo Remix, an incredibly rocking theme that helps you to delve deep into Beat's struggles, especially when looking at the lyrics.
• "Jump Over Yourself", an incredibly emotional piece from Beat’s perspective that hints at his parental issues, along with just being a damn good song in its own right.
• "MMM", a chaotic, high frantic piece that’s equal parts confusing yet addicting.
• "Twister Kingdom Remix" takes the already awesome "Twister Kingdom Mix" and turns it up to eleven.
• "DTM" combines "Deja Vu", "Three Minutes Clapping", and "Make or Break" into one insanely awesome track.
• "Twister Solo Remix PV Ver", a remix of Twister that combines the arrangement of the Twister Original version and the vocals of the Gang Mix into one insanely hype track.
• "Twister Crossover", a remix that combines "Twister" and "Calling", including snippets from "Hybrid", into another insanely awesome track.
• choBit Orchestra’s "Twister ???" remix provides a much more electronical version of the Twister Gang Mix, which makes for a pleasing listening experience.
• "Deja Vu: Sanctuary Mix" provides a much more dreamlike vibe than the original, which also helps make for an interesting listening experience.
• From the Crossover Tribute Album comes "March On" and "Revelation", two very mellow yet powerful rock tracks that immediately reach out to the listener.
• "Twister Novoiski Remix", which takes on a dubstep influenced, futuristic vibe on the already awesome Twister. Likewise, "Twister T$UYO$HI Remix" adds on its own take with a very different yet pleasing melody.
• "Calling T$UYO$HI Remix", an arrangement of the Kingdom Mix version of "Calling" with a heavier emphasis on the bassy beats, some onbeat and some syncopated.
• "Make or Break remix for qanchis" takes on a laid-back yet cool jazzy instrumentation that provides a pleasing deviation from the trance based original.
• "Satisfy Galaxy Dub" adds on a trippy, almost spacelike vibe to the original song that makes it stand out quite well.
• "Owarihajimari x-tended.ver" provides an incredibly pleasing jazzy take on the original, with female vocals from SAWA to boot.
• "Calling Novoiski Remix" is an absolutely hype-inducing remix of Calling that adds even more techno goodness and additional vocals to give the track even more flair.
• The Death March remixes also provide a healthy dose of adrenaline-inducing rock tracks, such as these remixes of "Revelation" and "Hybrid", which help gets your blood pumping.
• Simply labeled "TWEWY", this track is an incredibly fast-paced, rocking tribute to the game with plenty of momentum to spare.
• The Death March version of "Calling" reduces the tempo of the original track and gives it a slightly jazzy rhythm, which results in a more melancholic and distinctive vibe from the original song.
• This version of "Hybrid Newborn" features even more acoustics from the original, which provides for a more raw yet powerful track.
• The Death March’s version of "Run Away" provides for a much more fast-paced yet still emotionally powerful track.
• Kingdom Hearts Union χ added "Twister -Union Mix-" to celebrate the tenth anniversary of The World Ends With You, and it's a pretty slick jam.
• "Twister -The Twisters-" joins together every vocal of the other remixes, creating another great experience.
• Final Remix gives us a couple of sweet new tracks, such as "SHADOW", which plays when you start "A New Day", and "Wake Up", the Final Boss theme.
• Final Remix also gives us yet another great experience in the form of "Twister: Final Remix", yet another remix of "Twister" that combines together almost every remix of "Twister" into an incredibly hype-inducing track.
