From a thread I made not realising that this one would serve me needs just as well:
To whom should anime music be credited as the artist? I'm not talking about stuff like Full Metal Alchemist, where the credit is obvious, but rather Haruhi, Lucky Star, and K-ON, where the singers are also the seiyuu (or rather, the seiyuu are also the singers. :/)
I've already got Haruhi & Lucky Star stuff on my computer - the artists being credited are the seiyuu; Aya Hirano, etc. - but K-ON is proving to be a bit more awkward. When crediting any song, I much prefer to either name the singer/s or band (the band being preferable) but in this case the band is fictional and the singers are varied, despite being the same group.
So yeah. I'm wanting a standardised way to attribute artists of anime music; any suggestions?
(Suggestion given in the other thread: list by vocalist/s only.)
^^ If I were to do this, would you consider it consistent with my current naming convention? (Really, my only problem with this is that Houkago Tea Time is a fictional band. *shrug*)
^ Hrm. I think that would bug me though, not seeing all the songs by the same band together. :/
EDIT: On a different point, are the ending credits for the two Haruhi series really sung by three people? I don't think I've ever heard more than one in either of them. :/

Thread necro!
... So, anyone got some tunes? I'm looking for some awesome soundtracks.
Why I am afraid of fences.^^ Are torrents
any good? The OST is contained in the DVD bonus discs.
I had the same problem finding the OST, since googling "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya OST" will almost entirely bring up results that have the character songs mislabeled as the OST.
Tumblr here.@Guy In White: It's not "awesome" in the bombastic way but this song from DNAngel
is beautiful, especially in the context it's played. And Star Driver's wonderful Monochrome
And one of the reasons I watched Junjou Romantica is I love the opening
very much.

Both the Japanese and the English OST of Key The Metal Idol are good.

Hello again tropers

There were some tracks from The Big O blind linked before, but since they were taken down I can't tell what they were, just in case though: “The Holy
” & “Sure Promise
.”
