Is "Silhouette" by KANA-BOON not as good to this DJ as some of the other Naruto songs on this list? I personally prefer Silhouette over Kaze.

To everyone complaining their favourite song isn't in notice that it says volume 1. It's a bit early to count out some popular songs.

I have "Ichirin no Hana" as my ringtone. Never watched bleach but that intro was awesome, and I'm surprised "haruka kanata" is so low.


Nowhere does it indicate that these are in any particular order.

Fair enough it being just Volume 1, but that still makes the inclusion of four Naruto songs (five if you include Boruto) a bit odd, since they could have just been split up into future volumes, especially since it's the only series to have that many songs in this volume. Still, it is 50 songs for ~$20-$25, and it is a good selection, so I might actualy import it at some point.

^True but lets hope it doesn't mean that there are 4-5 Naruto songs on each volume.

I was expecting an absurd price, but that's pretty good for 50 songs (Now that's what I call Anime music!)
If they put out a couple of volumes it would probably make a pretty nice collection

They probably added the extra Naruto songs to fill spots that originally had Kenshin songs.

No Saint Seiya, Shaman King, Black Cat and as much as I love Naruto I think 4(or 5 for Boruto) is too much.

The lack of Saint Seiya's Pegasus Fantasy makes me question the quality of this list. I mean, how can you forget one of Shonen Jump's biggest series, one that rather successfully competed with Dragon Ball for several years before ending.


Maybe it'll be on a future volume because it did say that this was the first one. I have a cover sung by the voice actor of Seiya and it's better than the original version by a country mile!

Yeah I see a lot of love or lack thereof for Naruto & Boruto but nothing for Kenshin or Buso Renkin which doesn't surprise me. None of those characters were even on the Jump Festa poster this year.

Kind of strange they don’t have We Are from One Piece. That song is iconic for me.


And I would have liked if they included both Cha-la-head and We got Power. But I guess at least they have one. Maybe because it is by the same singer.

Nice they included the Yu Yu Hakusho Opening too.

No original Seint Seiya OP??
That's like the best one ever in a Shonen Jump series!
The only thing that would compete with it is Death Note's second OP. Sad

Just receiveed and listened to that mix.

They cut the full version of each songs to approximately fit it into the short anime version. I say approximately, because some musical notes are missing at the beginning of the songs, and we can hear the ending overflowing on the full version.

A few songs only last 40s, probably because the short anime version has a different arrangement. They only took the beginning shared part.

So yeah, be warned, low price but cheap edition.
