I love any songs related to Naruto. ^^ While with other anime I like some songs here and there, with Naruto I love every song they play (and no, it's not because I'm a Narutard; I just love the music chosen). And as much as I would love to write a small review on every song, I'll stick with my top 5:

Parade (Chaba) - Now this one I actually sing the chorus to constantly, especially at work. I love the positive feeling around it, and the mix of traditional and modern instruments is perfectly blended.
Mezamero Yasei! (Matchy with Question?) - Gotta love the rock music! It's really catchy and I've caught myself singing this a couple of times or randomly humming it in class.
Remember (FLOW) - I actually can't figure out what I exactly like about this song. Maybe it's the awesome beat with the music, or the last line of the song that gets stuck in my head. Either way I love it.
Nagaraboshi ~Shooting Star~ (HOME MADE Kazoku) - This has be the most inspiring song to me, sparking me to paint a beautiful piece to the last two lines of the chorus. It's also the song that started to get me into HMK.
Blue Bird (Ikimonogakari) - It hasn't even been out for that long, but already I fell in love with it. It's a sweet sounding song and I've been inspired even more to paint a new piece based on it. Sadly I have to wait until July to get the full version, but it'll be worth the wait in the end, I'm sure.

I do it all the time. I even sang in front of a group of anime fans at a convention in Hayward, CA where I put on a real show. I sang the opening theme to Cardcaptor Sakura: Catch you, catch me. I loved every moment of it. Here is the video!

I'm the guy in the glasses! Hope you like it!

There's not too many of those songs for me. They usually change as the shows come and go, and the ones that stick are the good ones Very Happy

Examples would be the Gungrave ED ("When Sunset Turns red" - I also enjoy playing that one on the violin), White Album OP ("Shin Ai" by Mizuki Nana), Kara no Kyoukai 4 song ("Aria"), Detroit Metal City OP ("Satsugai!"), Outlaw Star OP, Allison to Lilia OP, and all the Rozen Maiden OPs and EDs.

With a few exceptions though, I rarely ever listen to much anime music, since none of it ever fits my musical tastes, and the OP/ED has to be exceptional to even make it to my songlist.

I LOVE singing anime songs - I participate at every anime karaoke tournament too, if there is one Anime hyper (Usually the Connichi, Germany's biggest con) The tragic thing is... I'm worst at the songs I love most and best in the songs I simply "like" - I'm more suited for ballads and would love to sing the more hyper anime OPs - but I will make my breaththrough to singing "high-energy" songs eventually ^^;

My youtube channel will soon be getting more and better anime song renditions, currently it's... meh... except for this one, which is alright:

I love Ningyo Hime, one of the rare slow ballads of anime I *DO* love ^^ Basically I love the spirit of anime songs in general, from melodies to arrangements - so much that I've started creating sheets/tabs in Guitar Pro to anime songs. I finished my first, it's the K-ON! opening - check the thread "Anime Tabs" for the link, or just ask (don't want to spam the link in every thread ::laughs:: )

I sing to God Knows (Haruhi), Bouken Desho Desho? (Haruhi), Hare Hare Yukai (Haruhi), Catch You Catch Me (Cardcaptor Sakura), Fruits Candy (Cardcaptor Sakura), Purachina (Cardcaptor Sakura), Innocent Starter (Nanoha), Shinai (White Album), Pride of Glory (White Album), My Sweet Heart (Tokyo Mew Mew), Meikyuu Butterfly (Shugo Chara), Motteke Sera Fuku (Lucky Star), Parallel Days (not sure, it's by Aya Hirano, though) and Duvet (Serial Experiments Lain.

Because... You know, apparently I have nothing better to do than to sing in Japanese, or english in the case of "Duvet".

There's a small anime convention near me soon, it has karaoke, maybe they'll be interested in the amount of songs I can sing.

I do this because it's a very good way to learn a language/grammars. I know music in french, spanish and japanese hehe but of course I know most songs in Japanese.

Try to find out what the lyrics mean. Some of the theme songs have decent meanings.. comic party s1 ed, full metal panic s1 op/ed, tales of eternia op are my favorites with good lyrics.

I've been known to sing along with a bunch of anime songs. I love to sing and do it with all my music. It would sound pretty good too since I have a trained voice, but I imagine I murder the Japanese. In public though I resist the temptation and resort to tapping my foot.

Most sung is probabally stuff by Uverworld, L'Arc~en Ciel, Arbingdon Boys School, Baseball Bear, Psychic Lover, or Hyde since they're more in my range.

I find myself singing songs like...

"Ai Oboete Imasuka" and "Tenshi no Enogeru" by Mari Iijima(she has quite a beautiful singing voice and I love her songs)

All the Priss Asagiri songs performed by Kinuko Ohmori from Bubblegum Crisis (she's one of my all-time favorite singers)

The songs sung by Rica Matsumoto(Kei) and Mariko Kouda(Yuri) of Dirty Pair Flash. My favorites are "Kokoro de Mitsumeteru" sung by Rica Matsumoto and "Kimi Ga Daisuki" by Mariko Kouda. Both are incredibly talented singers and I listen to a lot of their music.

I also love singing the beautiful songs sung by Akino Arai, such as Macross Plus' "Voices" and Outlaw Star's "Hiiru no Tsuki".

I also like singing to Noriko Sakai's "Active Heart" from Gunbuster, Yoko Nagayama's "Hitomi no Naka no Faraway" from the Five Star Stories, and Lia's "Toki Wo Kizamu Uta" from Clannad After Story.

I found myself singing along the theme from berserk. I found the lyrics quite amusing and it's very catchy song.

There are some songs, while they may be my favorites anyway, that have the quality of being fun songs to sing. Something about how the melody and mechanics of the lyrics makes them very enjoyable when you emulate it with your own voice.

One such song is Houseki (Jewel) written by Yuki Kajira. After you sing it and because of the many short bursts and pauses, it feels like your lungs just got a workout.

Another amazingly enjoyable song to sing, is Stand Up! by Megumi Hayashibara. Even if you don't like this song (liking it would probably be a prerequisite to learning it for karaoke though) the heavy occurrence of the word "kara" and words that rhyme with it give the song a unique resonance.

This is mostly why I choose which songs to karaoke and memorize the lyrics; something about it that is fun to sing.

@ mai yukino, holy wow you have almost exactly the same taste in classic anime tunes and singers as me. Songs by Mariko Kouda, Kinuko Ohmori (also one of my favorites), Noriko Sakai and Mari Ijima are frequently on my playlist when in the mood for my usual collection of songs.

Awesome! It's cool to know there's someone else other than me that enjoys listening to these singers. I also enjoy songs by Megumi Hayashibara as well, a couple of my favorites from her is her rendition of "Alchemy of Love" from Tenchi Muyo in Love and "Midnight Blue" from Slayers: The Motion Picture.
