I was thinking of two songs I've met through anime that are really special to me, namely, "...To You" by Ayako Kawasumi, the opening from the small anime "Piano: The Melody of a Young Girl's Heart"; and "Never Looking Back" by Shizukunome, the second ending to You-Gi-Oh!! SEVENS.

So, what are some small pieces you'd like to highlight?

"Kanashimi no mukou he" (悲しみの向こうへ) from School Days. This and the intro are the only redeeming qualities of this anime imo.

Speaking of "only redeeming qualities of the entire anime", Rosario + Vampire's Season II op "Discotheque" is also fantastic and is an honorable mention.

Crystal Kay - ONE
Apparently this was the Pokemon Movie 11 theme back in 2008.
Still sounds great.

I would want people to be aware of "Gospel of the Throttle" from Drifters, and... Probably not overlooked but one of the most perfect anime songs ever, "Good Morning, World" the original Dr. Stone intro.

Whoa, you had really thought about this before. I'll be working through these as the day goes by.

ZAQ's Soranone comes to mind. It was used as opening for Kouya no Kotobuki Hikoutai from 2020, which is not well known and underrated itself. I think ZAQ is underrated in general among western community, so basically any of her anisongs could fit.

Listening to both recommendations! I've gotten to know many musical songs and pieces I like through anime, even though I don't watch very much anime anymore.
